Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
One of His Best in Years!
After the less-than-great pictures of "Scoop" and "Cassandra's Dream," which focused around murder and morality, this film appears to be Woody's return to his strengths: Emotions in relationships.
In this film, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) travels to Barcelona for a summer getaway with close friend Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) before her marriage to her fiancée. While in Barcelona, taking in the beauty of the art and architecture, they meet Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) and the film takes off from there.
If you've never seen a Woody Allen film before, watch this one before you judge him on his ability to still make pertinent films. It's one of his best in years.

This is a fantastic movie and I loved it! Basically, Monty is a Harvard student who thinks he knows it all and is writing his senior thesis but while running to make a copy of it (cliche, his computer crashed and he only has one copy) he slips and his work falls into the hands of Harvard bum Simon. What ensues can only be described as "masterful" as Monty and Simon develop as the story continues with different little twists and an ending that leaves you in tears. You can really FEEL the portrayal of the characters from Pesci and Fraser, but adding Patrick Dempsey, Moira Kelly, and Josh Hamilton completes the group. It is truly a beautiful film.
