    'Train Man' is the most recent movie I have seen that made me think. Japan's decade+ long economic slowdown/stall altered a whole generation. The world over should be paying attention.

    After I watched Match Point, I rewound it a few times to better understand the ending, and my family and I got into a debate about the ending. Definitely worth watching.

    Letters to God is fantastic. To see the life of a child affect so many others was amazing. It made me want to be more compassionate.

    The Cove.

    I cried for days after watching it.

    SeaWorld was my daughters favorite place to go. Then we watched The Cove and she said we're never going there again.

    Not a typical "movie," but I recently watched "The Canary Effect: Kill the Indian, Save the Man." It's a short documentary of the history of Native Americans in the United States. Powerful, sad, infuriating. Well worth the watch. It's free online.
