OK, I've said that about a few movies, but Trainspotting is definitely one of my fave films of all time. It's got it all, and in the right amounts.

Who can say that Begbie, for example, isn't one of the most outlandish, hilarious characters ever to be put on screen? Ewan McGregor has never acted better. I am American but can appreciate anything Scottish, especially accents that sometimes go beyond my basic comprehending skills.

This film is witty in dialogue, very evenly-paced and very poignant in its themes. What more could you ask for? I can't wait to see it again.

I was very impressed with this impartial account of the Arab world and the Israelis, and the peace that always seems to be just beyond their grasp. I am surprised their are not more review comments or messages on this film, as it is jam-packed full of useful information. You learn about Jerusalem, and what parts of that holy city are important to Muslims and which are important to the Jews. I have to admit this is something I would have never bothered to read, but I'm glad it was neatly packaged into a easy-to-watch film as this.

I never knew that Bill Clinton and Colin Powell had done so much to aid in this effort of peace between the two; and I am proud of them both.

You must watch this docu when you have time-it is rather long, but extremely worth it.

...I haven't written a review on this site in years...and I'm still not going to. I just had to pay my respects to this film, which I thought was very touching. There were a lot of emotions coming through the characters on the film, and you can't help but feel for all of them, just a little.

I don't have much experience with Spike Lee films. In fact this may be the first one I've seen of his. From what I can see in 25th Hour, he seems to have a hunger for poignancy and human emotion.

I look forward to seeing more of his films.
