For you my friend, I think you should watch the movie "Once". Actually very emotionally cleansing IMO. And chill out a bit - stress is a killer! Take a nap, watch a movie, and get some work done!

I had to imdb that one. A musical? Well, imdb calls it a musical, but the trailer makes it look like more of a romantic drama. Ok, I'm game. To be honest, I think my gf will thank you. We both enjoy foreign films, and I seldom suggest anything romantic (keep in mind, I thought True Romance was romantic) so this should be interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think that you and your gf will both probably enjoy it.

You may thank me later. Or not.




Speaking of which, feedback after (if) you watch the movies I recommend is, of course, always welcome.

I didn't mean I'm looking for a movie from when I was younger. What I was looking for was a movie that explores the effects of the passage of time on the characters themselves. In other words a movie that would evoke feelings of nostalgia in a vicarious way.

Oh... I get it. Hold out for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button... I honestly can't wait for it. I might think of something else offhand here momentarily. Ooh... not the best movies ever... but maybe what you are sort of looking for. The Story Of Us and Two For The Road.
