Marley and Me was really cute but kinda sad. Made me cry at the end. I mean I knew the ending was coming but with the preveiws I didnt really expect it to be so emotional.

I really loved Defiance, that was an awesome movie (though I like WWII stuff). September Dawn was good (violent at the end...it's a drama, but guys will like it), so was The Kite Runner. I have Taken sitting here, DH said it was really good but I haven't watched it yet.
DH has watched a lot of movies lately, but I don't watch them that often (I did while I was in the hospital and then recovering). He said Yes Man was really good, it's waiting for me to watch on our PVR.

I really liked The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Everybody else has listed the others that I liked too
 . Marley and Me was REALLY good, but be prepared to have a huge box of kleenex. I was shocked to see my DH crying (not just teary but actually CRYING)... he said that it reminded him of what happened to his dog when he was 18  . Poor DH...These ones aren't new releases anymore so maybe you've already seen them: Secret Life of Bees Dan in Real Life

I too really like Defiance. It was well made, the acting was awesome and it was just all around good.
I just watched Revolutionary Road last night and I HATED it!!!!!!! We also have The International and I heard it was good, so I am crossing my fingers! Taken was an easy watch and really fast paced and action packed. Yes Man was funny....hmm.....I don't know, lol! We watch a lot and I forget!

I second The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. Another WWII story, lol...but not violent...it's based on a children's book.
The Changeling was really good too, if you haven't seen it.

He's interested in some military type shows but not violent ones...like on the history channel...he loves M*A*S*H and Hogan's Heroes...but obviously those aren't "real" to him. A few years ago they had an exhibit on the Titanic...they gave each of us walking into the exhibit a card with a name on it...at the end you looked at the passenger list to see if you died or lived...my son's card was a person that died. He cried...he was pretty upset about it for quite awhile. Obviously I am NOT going to let him see that movie. Ok I think I am answering my own question... ???

Ohhh also "Flash Of Genius" I absolutely LOVED!!! Story of the underdog who doesnt give up and wins in the end. (and wins BIG!!!)
This guy invents something for cars and has his invention stolen by Ford and eventually chevy and chrysler. He goes after them though. It has the mom from Gilmore Girls in it. Truly an awesome movie. Well in my opionion it was!!

Great! This has added lots to our list...I only watch movies with DH lol..while he was deployed i mostly rented series from netflix...i caught up on the tudors, all the CSIs etc..but now that he's home he likes to sit and watch a movie just about every night after the kids are in bed.
I can't watch Marley and Me...I know what happens and I just can't handle movies like that.

I thought so too, but saw it with friends- the "tip" is that you MUST sing along WITH the movie, then you are having enough fun that you don't notice the cheesiness.

Well, having never seen the musical I wasn't quite prepared for the cheesiness. But really that was not as odd? as my friend's dh singing along with us... that was hilarious!
BTW I wasted way too much time on Netflix and adding new movies and watching on demand stuff tonight because of this thread.
