Worse than this, though, was the estrogen-laced ripoff known as Mona Lisa Smile. Horrible, horrible movie.
As for last year's most powerful... while I have not yet seen Munich, I would have to say Crash. Soul stirring. That's the best way to think of it.
Others from past years... not a film, but, Band of Brothers; Cool Hand Luke; Empire of the Sun; Far From Heaven; the original Manchurian Candidate; Passion of the Christ; The Red Violin; Requiem for a Dream; and To Kill a Mockingbird.
