If you are tired of the holiday genre, and want something different, please consider the 1997 thriller "Conspiracy Theory" starring Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, and Patrick Stewart. Directed by Richard Donner (Superman and Lethal Weapon sequels), this story is worthy of the most paranoid Oliver Stone followers.
Complete with twists and a surprise ending, this is not a lazy person's movie. It makes you think. You have to think about the subplots, but you also need to understand a little about how government works. It helps if you've visited or spent any time in DC and New York.
Even if you have never been to the locations, the movie is worth the watch just to see Gibson's neurotic performance.

Never thought I'd say this, but "Dad, you don't talk enough." I KNOW you've got more to say about these movies. I'd get a kick hearing what you have to say about the ones NOT worth the rental too. Like the Breakup. Forget not being worth the theater ticket, that one's not even worth the tingly nalgas and crick in the neck you get sitting on the couch just trying to enjoy it.
