Have you hit the DVD doldrums? You've watched all the big movies like Transformers 2 and The Hangover. Now what?
Thankfully there's a veritable ocean of movies out there. Lots of great stuff to explore. USA Today has a list of some worthy films you may have missed upon initial passing. All are recent releases on DVD.
This news story was sent to me by my good friends at Heartland Truly Moving Pictures. This group promotes quality films with stick-with-you messages. It just so happens that several movies on USA Today's list are ones deemed "Truly Moving Pictures" (TMP) by this non-profit organization.
Here is the list as assembled by USA Today's Claudia Puig. See their site for a brief description of each.
- Amreeka (TMP)
- The Boys are Back (TMP)
- The Brothers Bloom
- The Cove (TMP)
- It Might Get Loud
- Phoebe in Wonderland (TMP)
- Rudo y Cursi
Be sure to check out the Truly Moving Pictures web site for their full list of recommended movies. There are films in every genre and in every rating that you can enjoy.
Of course, this isn't to be confused with our call for unappreciated films. Please continue to send in your list of choices -- try to limit it to your three best. We've already received an abundance of responses but would still like more. We'll post all the suggestions at the end of this week.
