host, I had a very similar reaction to "The Departed". I haven't had a chance to see "American Gangster" yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
I remember walking out of "Magnolia" and thinking "so that's what an Amiee Mann song looks like as a movie."
"Moulan Rouge" changed my mind about all modern musicals being wastes of time, at least until I saw "Chicago".
Finally, "SOB" opened my eyes for the first time about how manipulative Hollywood actually is. That point's been made numerous times since then and often better (most notably in "Entourage"), but that was the one that made me realize how the system actually works.
