Are there actually 2 movies (The Bicycle Thief, Bicycle Thieves) that came out a year apart, or are these the same flick?

Bicycle Theives. Filmed in post WWII Ialy. What is fool about it is the extras weren't acting while filming the city scenes because what tee movie makers were looking for from time period Elise was actually happening.

Step Brothers... When Brennan killed it at the Catalina Wine Mixer... JK. I'd seriously have to vote for Departed.

Citizen Kane... I mean, Rosebud was just a sled and not some side piece that the old dude had been smashing. Didn't see that coming at all.

I'm really surprised that there are so many mentions of the departed(Not that there is anything wrong with that) and no mentions of The Usual Suspects and LA Confidential

The Departed really stood out for me the way he was executed in the elevator. It caught me way off guard.

The Natural. When Hobbs hits the game winning home run, I was in tears knowing The Judge was gonna have to go back to working the circuit courts. He worked so hard to get where he had gotten in life, worked the system to its finest, only to have the 1 guy in baseball not morally corrupt take it all from him because he wants to play hard for a old manager who'd rather be farming and was ready to send him back to the Great Lakes Association just a couple of months earlier.

edit: and as a side note, Hobbs chose Glenn Close over Kim Basinger, further showing Hobbs wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas--unforgettable ending. Gallipoli will leave you weeping, too--and I don't care how macho you might think you are. On the brighter side--King of Hearts.

The ending of Whiplash totally fascinates me. Wonder what that kid was thinking about his "teacher" at the end?

LA Confidential is a great movie (one of my favorites) but it wasn't that big of a surprise that the person that ended up being a 'bad' cop was indeed a bad cop.
