Also, The Labyrinth. Never mind the cover; it's misleading.

If you like Notebook you will love mean girls and devil wears prada, both worth watching.

What is your idea of action/crime/war? Good guys vs Bad guys with a damsel in distress, where most of the storyline the bad guys are 'winning' only to have their super awesome incoherent plan thwarted by the good guys right at the end, resulting in the hero and damsel living happily ever after knowing they saved the world?

RL politics is so much more entertaining than anything Hollywood brought out
It's easier to recommend movies if you post examples of ones you enjoyed (genres aren't enough). That said, here's a few that I enjoyed:

Bandits (Romatic comedy about bankrobbers)
Cyrano De Bergerac (A recording of a very well done play. Black comedy romantic drama. There are many recorded versions, but I recommend the 2008 version starring Kevin Kline. [netflix link])

Runaway Jury (Law thriller, about someone inside the jury trying to sell the vote of the jury to either side of a major lawsuit against firearms)

The Hunted (Now retired civilian trainer for the military has to hunt down one of the military students he trained who went rogue after going crazy working as a CIA assassin)
Spy Game (Less action, more spy and espionage stuff, told after the fact by a CIA handler's less-than-honest report to a CIA comittee trying to look for an excuse to let the CIA handler's rogue agent be executed by the Chinese)
Heist (Gene Hackman, wanting to retire (because he got his face caught on camera), runs 'one last job' for his fence/recruiter, using his skilled group of criminals to try and rob an airplane carrying French gold... Unfortunately, the fence, knowing it's his last job, plans to keep all the gold for himself)
The Score (A team of skilled thieves are forced to take on a younger stranger, because the stranger already has set up the heist and is the one who approached the team's handler with the job)

I just watched Michael Clayton two days ago, that was interesting too, but not fantasticly so.

The complete Bourne trilogy is definitely a favorite of mine; I haven't seen the fourth one yet ([size=2]which is not starring the same character, and not made by the same director).
Sort by year and watch all of them.
A couple of Clive Owen thrillers
Inside Man
Derailed

Some Leonardo DiCaprio flicks
The Departed
Shutter Island

A few random selections
EuroTrip
V for Vendetta
Man on Fire

NOT a feel good movie
Contagion

I watched the notebook now and I think it was a waste of time.
The trailer really fooled me showed a sec that theres some war in the movie... but its just like 3mins war in total in the movie.
its really just 2 hours of romance and drama...
blehhh
If you want to see romantic comedy redeem itself as a genre, watch the Serbian film black cat, white cat.
Whats a good movie for you?
Lesser known, but good movies:
Das Boot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082096
Pan's Labyrinth http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430
Spirited Away http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245429

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.
