I thought that was one of the best movies I've ever seen. They exaggerated all of the racial issues to get the point across! I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain or Capote either. I saw Munich and had a hard time following the movie. I wish I knew more about the subject before seeing the movie. Are you kidding about Crash?

But then again I saw it long ago, and it didn't make a big impact on me so I can't really remember.

Welcome to the best movie of the year for people who like to say, 'A lot of my best friends are black.'" Like I said a lot of people enjoyed the movie but a lot of people didn't!

Maybe it was just a bad year for the box office in general or maybe faggot horse riders should have stopped at Midnight Cowboy. I agree brother,
