The Terminal
 

Synopsis: In this film by director Steven Spielberg, an Eastern European war refugee (Hanks) lands at a New York City airport at the very moment his beleaguered homeland ceases to exist, invalidating his immigration papers. Homeless and countryless, he makes the airport his home, eventually falling in love with a flight attendant (Zeta-Jones).

The funny thing is that this movie is loosely based on the story of a man who's been stranded in Charles De Gaulle Airport since 1988. I do not know if he is still in the airport, but he was as of 2003. I remember encountering this story a few years ago, and the trailer during HP made me remember.

Thoughts?

TTT
I think I'll catch it on DVD.

ditto

I went to a screening last night. It was really good. People are calling it a sleeper hit already. Most people may be unwilling to see it, but it's really good.

I think I'm going to see it this weekend. The trailers reeled me in.

I saw this movie last night. It was actually pretty good.

I heard that this movie was good also. I am going to see it sometime this week/weekend.
