American History X is a great film.
Not seen the Ultimate Cut, but I loved the Watchmen Book, thought the film was a lot better than the panning it got from critics, fans of the book and just about everyone. Might set the 3.5 hours aside sometime.

Good story, well acted & filmed, only downside was having to explain who was who & what was going on for about the first 1/3 of the film as wife didn't quite get it up to that point.

MrsTT is a film fan - so I always get (in the left ear) oh - look its Jack McPartwidget, who was in "One flew under the lizards on planes" with Kim Largenipples. AND he's the son of Graham Boringeyebrowtwitcher who was married three times to a Cuban donkey etc.......
I get something similar without the information...."Oh it's erm erm, what she been in before? I know 'er from somewhere." I then spend the next ten minutes trying to remember her name and CV whilst following the film.
I don't think anyone has mentioned Submarine?Beautiful, funny coming of age film dir by Richard Ayoade. Had been on my sonar for a while, but only recently surfaced...A perfect antidote if you've recently overindulged on Hollywood.
Save yourself some time and have a laptop with IMDB open.
Blitz - Some great actors (and Jason Statham) failing to make any sense of a ludicrous nonsensical plot. Vaguely like a crap feature length episode of the Bill.
and Sigourney Weaver as a thin-lipped department head
