We enjoyed the movie: "Babel:" www.rottentomatoes.com/m/babel/IMO it's an outstanding example of the interrelationship of tragedies caused by irresponsibility and poor communication of adults toward their children in three different cultures globally. It demonstrates that presently the world is a "tower of Babel." BTW I'm sure you're aware that Babel is the Biblical term for Babylonia which is Iraq today and from which the word: "babble" is derived.

We also enjoyed BABEL. We DID NOT enjoy THE QUEEN which should be renamed "Why Tony Blair should get a knighthood".
BLOOD DIAMOND was very watchable but not as good as Babel.
The best film we've seen for ages was PRESTIGE. I very much encourage you to go out and see it.
