Atonement

This movie is heavy-duty, but I will very surprised if it doesn't win all kinds of awards this year. Now be warned...you may not walk out of this movie jolly. The story is amazing. I don't know who comes up with stuff like this. It's based on a novel and the movie plays out very much like a book. Be prepared for some funky flashbacks that keep you guessing. It all ties together so well...the director (Joe Wright) did a heck of a job on the editing. This is only his second major movie...keep your eyes on him. Pay attention to the scene on the beach...it's all done in one continuous shot. I love stuff like that! Fantastic acting from both Kiera Knightly (so hot!) and James McAvoy (don't let the fact that he is Mr. Tummus the Faun from Chronicles of Narnia bug you). Great love story...dudes and chicks both will dig it.
