Welcome to my half month! I was kidding about the chick flicks (although I was tempted lol), I'm really more into dramas/thrillers and there isn't anything currently out there with Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks that I haven't seen. Anyway, I tried to come up with five movies which seem interesting and hopefully have not been seen by a majority of people. (Honestly, this was tough - too many to choose from!) Also, May 16th is just around the corner... literally. So, please vote!

A Ghost Story	+
Director: David Lowery Writer: David Lowery Stars: Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, McColm Cephas Jr. In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife.

The Insider	+
Director: Michael Mann Writers: Marie Brenner (article), Eric Roth Stars: Russell Crowe, Al Pacino, Christopher Plummer A research chemist comes under personal and professional attack when he decides to appear in a "60 Minutes" expose on Big Tobacco.

Melancholia	+
Director: Lars von Trier Writer: Lars von Trier Stars: Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland Two sisters find their already strained relationship challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide with Earth.

Moneyball	+
Director: Bennett Miller Writers: Steven Zaillian (screenplay), Aaron Sorkin (screenplay) Stars: Brad Pitt, Robin Wright, Jonah Hill Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to assemble a baseball team on a lean budget by employing computer-generated analysis to acquire new players.

Frequencies	+
Director: Darren Paul Fisher Writer: Darren Paul Fisher Stars: Daniel Fraser, Eleanor Wyld, Owen Pugh In an alternate reality, children learn how lucky they will be (their "frequency"), knowledge which shapes their destiny. The unluckiest boy must parse the mysteries of free will in order to pursue his forbidden love of the luckiest girl.

ooo good picks

A Ghost Story is odd but it’s one of my favorite movies from last year. Frequencies was a childhood favorite with my dad

The Insider is something that I heard of really recently and heard it was great so I put it way up my watchlist cause it sounded good. Melancholia and Moneyball are two I’ve been wanting to see. I voted for those three

These a really great picks! Excited to see which one wins.

Voted for all of them except for Moneyball.

Are you thinking of "Frequency" or "Frequencies?" The latter came out in 2013. I do love the first one, though (from 2000).

Op you’re right, I read it as Frequency

I’ve seen Frequencies too!

My gf said you let her down by not going chick flick lol

Anyway haven't seen any of them, voted all but moneyball.

voted for all but Moneyball, cause I've seen that one, which is really good.

Why not moneyball TIB?

Also tell your GF sorry.

I'm secretly hoping a certain one wins but, if it doesn't, I'm going to watch it soon anyway.

She hasn't watched any of these movies with me so far, she'll be ok. No apology for her.

Moneyball was the only one i really had even heard of, i think i still liked baseball when the book came out, but now it's something i'm just not interested in anymore. I guess it's more the subject matter than the movie itself, if that makes sense.

JW because when I skimmed some reviews a lot of them started with

Spoiler	+
"I don't like baseball, but I liked the movie."

ahh i gotcha. Yes i've heard nothing but good things about the movie, i have to admit.

Moneyball is very good, I'd definitely watch it again.
