That's THREE recommendations for Stardust in as many hours. Definitely on my must see immediately list.

I was a huge Lord of the Rings nut in my teens. Totally devoured the books time and time again. The depth of "sub-creation" sucked me right in. Hard to imagine that a movie version of this massive epic could be anywhere near faithful to the books, but it was. The cast was perfect, and the choice of New Zealand nearly faultless. (The utter lack of anything resembling the mighty river Anduin the only drawback. New Zealand has rivers a kilometre wide, to be sure, but that's twenty shallow metres of meandering trout stream and the rest gravel!)

The Princess Bride. Wow. What a movie, full of sparkling wordplay. And the book, a surprisingly different production. I love them both.

Brokeback Mountain. While I can appreciate the sentiments and the scenery, it was still a tale of betrayal.
