Good movies are hard to come by...

Seems to me that movies nowadays are not as nice as last time. The only thing that is evident is that the special effects are better. The plot cannot be compared. If a movie attracts me now, it is probably due to the graphics and futuristic outlook. Even the love stories sux now. So typical, so meaningless, so boring. When was the last time I feel touched? Seems like a long way back in 1998 when I watched City of Angels. For those who haven't watched it, it is abt an angel, Nicholas Cage, falling in love with a mortal, Meg Ryan. He gave up immortality to be with her, but she died in an accident the next day while buying breakfast for him. Damn sad. I remember I cried. A movie doesn't need to be a blockbuster to be remember in ppl's heart. As long as it touches u or make u think hard, that's enough. It doesn't even need to have a happy ending. Life is cruel. A few other gd movies worth mentioning: Jerry Maguire, The Truman Show, An Interview with Vampire, Sixth Sense, Gattaca, AI, Edward Scissorhands and of cause, Forrest Gump (life is like a box of chocolate).
