The Gray Zone (I don't like the tag because all it really means is "a bunch of people like this movie more than I do", but for The Pianist I'll indulge myself "Over-rated, clap-clap-clap-clap-clap")
Solaris (if this had Demi Moore instead of Natasha McElhone, you could have said that George Clooney was Demi-haunted)
I demand to have some booze!!

Abstain - Haven't seen The Grey Zone (really want to though). The Pianist was my number 2 in the Top 10 last year, thought it was fantastic.
Solaris - Much better Sci-Fi than Minority Report which I still think is an excellent film.

Jim: you can change my previous abstain to a vote for The Grey Zone - I just got done watching it. It has its problems (too stagy, Keitel is miscast, takes a while to get going), but it doesn't come off as Holocaust-lite (as The Pianist does). I can't say that I'm really impressed with either film.
