If you haven't seen "Juno" or "Once" yet, rent them! They are both wonderful films...Juno is hilarious (some of the best one-liners I've heard in a long time), touching, and an all-around feel good movie. Ellen Page, its star, is wonderful as pregnant 16-year-old Juno. And her quirky family, awkward boyfriend, slightly adultified best friend, and the strained couple she's chosen to adopt her baby, all provide a great supporting cast.
"Once" is an atypical love story about a struggling Irish musician who meets a girl from Eastern Europe, and the two spend an intense few days writing and recording music that tells their love story. The music is amazing, and even more so because the two leads actually wrote many of the songs and contributed lead vocals to all of them. And after you've watched this movie, by all means go out and buy yourself the soundtrack...you won't regret it.
So give them a try and let me know what you think!!!

agreed, both great movies!!
I'm going to watch ONCE as soon as possible and I'm glad JUNO made the list! It was fun watching it all together!
I made Erik watch it with me a couple of days ago and he really liked it as well!
I am always looking for good movie recommendations. I haven't seen Once, so I will have to look for it!
