Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
GRRReat Cinema!
This movie conjugates great acting, particularly in secondary roles (Geoffrey Rush, Jonathan Pryce), superb FX, larger-than-life sound, sexy actors (Keira Knightly, Orlando Bloom), and overall great production values. It has a plot that you can follow, rather than just a perfunctory story that is used to hang a bunch of CGI images on.
Four thumbs up form my kids, too!

Carmen (1984)
Wonderful DVD!
I just received the newly-released DVD of Rossi's film, and it is wonderful. The re-mastered sound track, although not 5.1 digital, is a great improvement over the VHS version.
Fresh from watching this movie, I feel that opera was meant to be produced on film. The scenery of Andalucia and the atmosphere of the bullring made the movie totally enjoyable.
