I don't want to turn this into an Akira-bashing thread, but I have to say that I too found said movie rather dull, I doubt if I'll ever have the urge to watch it again. And yes, I DID understand the story.

I'll join those who are praising this movie and add a virtual pat on the back. I found it a superb film, very engrossing, not dull for an instant. Oh, and I never felt sleepy once. :) I'll definitely be watching it again, no worries there.

How about 'The Shawshank Redemption'? Okay, so it's not particularly patriotic but it is a wonderfully moving story about hope against all the odds and that most important of things, friendship.
Curiously enough I was watching this film (for about the 12th time!) when my father phoned me to ask...
I'll second that, I too am surprised that no-one has mentioned the excellent British TV movie 'The Woman in Black'. Very few ghost stories have the ability to scare me, the only two are 'The Woman in Black' and 'The Changeling'. The whole of 'The Woman in Black' has a really creepy atmosphere to...
