Favorite Jake Gyllenhaal Movie?

Sam Mendes is a genius if you ask me...
He's not flawless (then again not even Spielberg is flawless) but its those little flaws that make his films what they are....IMHO

Chris I agree - I love Sam Mendes movies. I voted for Donnie Darko, but I was torn. I am one of the few that absolutely loves Moonlight Mile, and I love The Good Girl and Jarhead too. DD was the first Jake movie I saw though, and it's so excellent, that it holds a special place in my heart.

I liked Road To Perdition, and I was surprised Jarhead didn't do better. I've read that it's "too neutral" with regards to being pro- or anti-war. Maybe that's too hard to pull off in the midst of the Iraq fiasco. I did get to see his version of Cabarat on Broadway, liked that too.

Yeah its sad because Jarhead was seen as more of a political statement then a movie......so it was overlooked by critics and fan alike. Jake should have gotten an Oscar nom IMO and many people believed that he was going too....he was nothing short of brilliant...
Nicole:
Chris, again I completely agree. And I have to ask - I missed the "breasty" pic you had as your avatar, but I've read a number of comments about it and now I'm curious - who was the picture of? I'm assuming it wasn't of yourself, lol.
