MISSION TO MARS 1 hr.49 min
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKkqpkqPVJQ
Directed by Brian de Palma. Starring Tim Burton and Gary Sinese. This is not your action packed space cowboys movie. It is probably one of the most realistic sci-fi movies in detail and scientific extrapolation after 2001. Beautiful cinematography and special effects. Best for true sci fi afficionados.
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY 1995 , 2 hr 16 min
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHUxyZ6DST0
Starring Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and considered the best screen adaptation and film of Jane Austin´s novel, it garnered Oscars, Golden Globes, Baftas etc. It launched a 19 year old Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson received top awards including best adapted screenplay, the only person to have received both this Oscar and best actor Oscar. The making of the film is almost as intriguing as the movie itself.
