I LOVE movies. Netflix probably loses money on me each month because rather than paying for cable, I watch movies through netflix.
This post is about two AMAZING movies I have seen recently:
1. "The Visitor" with Richard Jenkins. A man who lives in Connecticut suddenly returns to his apartment in New York City to find immigrants who have been subletting his home illegally. The unexpected result is the awakening of this widower's life and feelings, and a deep, lifelong friendship with the couple staying in his home.
2. "Adam" with Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy. A young man in New York City with Asberger's syndrome develops a friendship and subsequent romance with the neighbor girl.

Both of these movies are unbelievably sweet and tender, with amazingly strong performances by all characters, both starring and supporting. They aren't gripping, eyes-glued-to-the-TV action flicks, but they are compelling and beautiful.
