The movie I saw in the last year or so that impressed me most was The Reader. A Serious Man is also excellent.
I liked The Wrestler, The Soloist and Brothers.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was too implausible to work for me.
A lot of humorous movies are disappointing. They're just not all that funny. Pirate Radio, for example. Bruno was much more amusing.
I haven't seen The Road. I am familiar with the book. The notion of it as a date movie is certainly interesting. Whether that works might depend on whom you're dating.
