Highly Rated Films
When I rate a film highly, it usually fits into two categories: great films that I'm not necessarily eager to see soon again or good-but-not-great films that are just fun. In the former category: City of God, Requiem for a Dream. In the latter category: The Back to the Future series.

In the past week, I've seen two films. One fits into the great-film-but-unpleasant category and the other fits into the very-entertaining-but-not-great category. The very-entertaining-but-not-great film was The Simpsons Movie. It was not as fun as the premiere party but it was worth my time.

The great-film-but-unpleasant was No End in Sight, a documentary about the Bush adminstration's appalling handling of the Iraq War. What made the film so depressing is that it is so well made. The film documents the catastrophic ineptitude of the Bush administration and their enablers.
Here is the film web site and here is the trailer:
