I can't remember the last commercial film I've seen. I know I haven't seen any in the past couple of weeks; and I'm not even sure if I've seen any in the last few months. Heck, I don't even know what movies I've missed anymore.

I'm not saying I haven't seen the inside of a theater recently. I can name the last five films I've seen, but I don't think any of them would be considered mainstream. They are, from the most recent:
1. Historias Minimas (Simple Stories)
2. 800 Balas (800 Bullets)
3. Tasogare seibei (Twilight Samurai)
4. Ana y los Otros (Ana and the Others)
5. El Viaje de Carol (Carol's Journey)

Notice the absence of commercial hits like Sky Captain and Shark Tale. In less recent times, I've also missed Catwoman and Spiderman 2. I'm not totally sure, but I think the last hit I caught in the theater was The Terminal. Believe me - for every hit I see, I've probably missed a handful of others.

I'll say it again - I've missed so many movies, I don't know what I've missed anymore.

So help me out here. Just answer one question: what are the last five (5) movies you've seen. If you can name more, that would be great, but five is fine. Name your movies, and if you'd like, I can tell you whether or not I've seen them. Just drop me a note and help me figure out what I've managed to miss.
