Shawshank is underrated? That's like the best movie ever! It was #1 or #2 out of all movies on imdb.com last time I checked.

Beautiful Girls was an indie movie in 97 or 96. Absolutely loved it.
Indie movies are so cool. They are rarely hits though, but I prefer them.
Oh, guys don't laugh, but the Jane Austen Book Club is a great movie. It would technically qualify as a "chick flick" but it isn't "weepy".
Girls, I put those words in quotes so you won't burn me in effigy....
