You haven't seen "It's a Wonderful Life?" Give it a whirl sometime - it's not half a schlocky as its reputation makes it to be. And Toy Story 2 is a snort - one of the few sequels that lives up to the first movie.

This is my directive unto you, and I'm bringing on the weight of years of acquaintance here: you would adore "The Usual Suspects." Don't let anyone tell you anything about it. Just go rent it and be amazed.

Really. Trust me.

I have, actually, seen bits and pieces of The Usual Suspects I should go back and ital all the movies I've seen part(s) of. So seeing it now would be useless, just as I was spoiled early on re: The Matrix. Although now that my job doesn't require me to occasioanlly read genre movie scripts before they're made, maybe I'll go see a few more...

Oh, and it's a religious thing, not watching It's A Wonderful Life. Really.
