I'm guessing a completely satisfying movie experience.

I can't remember the last time I really saw a great film in the last few years. I enjoyed The Prestige, The Departed and The Illusionist last year, but I have to say there hasn't been many movies I have purchased on DVD in this decade. Maybe it is just me, or has the overall quality of films gone down in the past 7-8 years?

Yeah, they're time travel movies so they can be considered recent.

Pan's Labyrinth (I just fell in love with this one. Watched it 3 times)
3:10 to Yuma (didn't think I would enjoy it so much since I don't have much faith in remakes but I'm glad I was proven wrong

)

It's all about how time slows down to a crawl around 4:45 PM when you work in an office.

Ok, I just threw it in there to see if any pays attention to these lists or if they just post their own and move on.

I guess a few people pay attention.

^ i understood the topic as meaning "recently watched" that's why i included 'the holy mountain'

That was seriously the most mind boggling movie i've seen in a long time, but better than a David Lynch movie.

Which one? Redacted or Holy Mountain? If possible, can you put in a spoiler stating what you thought was mind bending about it.....without giving too much away.
