Suggest a good movie for me to watch

I'm going there. It's a wonderful drama. Edward Scissorhands.

Not sure why this popped in my head. Maybe because it does not get the respect it deserves?

Snippet from wikipedia that has no spoilers:

An elderly woman tells a story to her granddaughter of a man with scissors for hands named Edward, the creation of an inventor. The inventor was inspired to make an artificial man due to the anthropomorphic appearance of his other inventions. He raised Edward as his son and tutored him in various subjects, but died while in the act of offering a pair of hands to Edward. Many years later, local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs, after failing to make profits in her suburban neighborhood, visits a Gothic mansion on a hill. There, she finds Edward, and convinces him to have her take him in. Edward befriends Peg's young son, Kevin and, after an initial misstep, her teenage daughter Kim.

I really didn't like it. I guessed the plot & conclusion about 5 minutes in (and I had specifically avoided reading *anything* about it). The acting was bad, aside from Michael Caine of course. It seemed like a B movie. I watched it with a friend who liked it less than me.

Yeah. I think people have a soft spot for near-future dystopias.

B movie? wtf. Production values were way high on this. It also won and/or was nominated for a dozen or so cinematography awards. There's nothing more "official" than that to show that the look and feel of CoM is anything but cheap. Acting Bad? Julienne Moore sucked? Clive Owen? really?

You more of a Barney type of guy?
