Our Priest told us (the congregation) if we went to see this movie we would have to go to Confession.
I no longer attend Mass, so I will be happy to listen to your suggestion and rent this film.
I forgot all about this movie. :)

It's all a matter of attitude I guess. Well that and your definition of sin and whether or not you believe the church infallable. A very dear friend of mine, a Catholic priest himself went with me to see this film and he wept openly during the very powerful ending. We loved it.

Being that I am on a Jake Gyllenhaal kick (along with BBM, which I watch nightly) ... you might want to see "Moonlight Mile" or "The Good Girl". And of course there is "Donnie Darko". (Actually, the only films of his I really haven’t liked are “Highway” and “Bubble Boy” … can’t do either one of them, even though Jake is very sexy.
Beyond that, I just saw, "The Devil Wears Prada". Certainly not a deep movie, but Anne Hathaway is funny and Meryl Streep steels every scene she is in!!!
If you are up for a very old film (I am talking a silent ... 1928), watch "Pandora's Box". It is one of my favorites. It is (supposedly) the first film to ever have a blatantly lesbian character, Geschwitz, in it. (I am not gay, but if I were, I would fall for Louise Brooks who plays the main character, Lulu). It’s a great film.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (OMG- that one final scene in the house that is crumbling all around them...no spoiler...makes me cry even more than BBM)
Cinema Paradiso
Una Giornata Particulare

Great movie choices! "Eternal Sunshine ... " is especially good! It's a completely original story ... that's for sure!
