Of course I think these are all great movies; if only Bossy read me daily she surely would have guessed #4 and #6. If you haven't seen #9, #14, or #15, and you're looking to laugh your ass off, please Netflix these. My fave is #1--it has everything--humor, drama, and Kevin Costner kicking Joan Allen's bathroom door down and shouting, "I am sick and tired of being your bitch!" It is from that movie I learned that if your life is going to fall apart make sure you've got a closet full of silk peignoirs and a great haircut. Oh yeah, a boatload of money is good too.
I like your movie list. What I learned from upside of anger is have a cabinet full of Grey Goose and four daughters who cook.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of my all time favs. I love all the stereotyping in it. Cracks me up. I had Pushing Tin, too, but didn't comment that day.
KEEP BELIEVING

OMG! Mystery, Alaska. That's the one where Russell Crowe blacks out all the words in the newspaper except for those that describe his wife. God, that was romantic!
And I've wanted to see The Upside of Anger since it was in previews.
