The Philadelphia Story (Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, wonderful snappy dialogue, and a teenage socialite singing “Lydia The Tattooed Lady”)

Face/Off (John Woo action thriller with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage switching faces so each gets to play the good guy and the bad guy for half the movie. A big hoot, and a good action movie.)

Winter’s Bone (A movie people are going to remember a lot longer than The King’s Speech. Serious, harrowing even, but mesmerizing)

The Player (Altman send-up of Hollywood, with about 100 big-name cameos)

State and Main (Mamet send-up of Hollywood vs. Small Town America)
