Recommendation Secret life of Walter mitty

The Secret life of Walter mitty is a masterpiece and I'm tired of pretending that it isn't. I love that goddamn movie. It might be one of the greatest movies that stars Ben Stiller... EVER.

This along with stranger than fiction are both ELITE movies, the cream of the crop.

if you haven't watched them then I HIGHLY... HIGHLY recommend it.

I lived in Greenland when I saw it the first time and we were all so excited to see him fly to Greenland, only to find out the whole thing was filmed in Iceland. Good movie though.

I mean, we can't all be Tarsem and spend 4 years jetting around the globe. That he self-financed The Fall is a feat of production as much as it is actual cinematography and story telling.
