The Fellowship of the Rings is excellent but you have to like fantasy and having read the Tolkin trilogy, as I did, helps a lot. Not for everyone but well done.
Part II is out 12/2002.
A Beautiful Mind is supposed to be an Oscar contender. The (true) story of John F. Nash, a mathematical genius who discovered a breakthrough math theory early in his career but went off the deep end for about twenty years, only to come back to sanity and win the Nobel Prize.
Not for everyone, but what movie is?
I recently rented Rush Hour 2 (Jackie Chan) and enjoyed it. Pretty much a remake of the first film of the same name but a different setting.
Memento is also on DVD/VHS and a challenging mystery story, played backwards. Takes concentration to 'get it' but I found it worth the effort.
Lots more but that my contribution to the movie suggestion box for now.
