Now that you've listed them all in one place, I'm gonna have to book mark this thread! Thanks!

I'm gonna get a little pushy and add my own 2nd and 3rd vote for August Rush. That's a must see movie if you're not opposed to that genre of movie. I shared it with a couple of work cohorts and they loved it too.

Have fun and thanks for listing them.

With a list like that - who needs cable?

I'll go one stop further and share it with the world

Feel free to edit this list. Thanks to Google Docs you shouldn't even have to sign in to do it.

Another thing you should check out is a TV series created by Josh Whedon called "Firefly" and the movie "Serenity"

This series was short lived because of FOX did a horrible job in promoting the series. FOX only aired 11 of the 14 episodes made. However, when the series came out on DVD in combination with the post-airing success of the show the following grew larger and led to the creation of the movie "Serenity" a film based on the series.

Highly recommended!

My recent Netflix faves are The Burmese Harp and Dark City.
