A film I recently saw that is really good, and I strongly recommend everyone should see is...
V for Vendetta
Starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea.
Plot: In the not too distant future, Britain is filled with torture cells, unfair punishments, prejudice against minorities. However in the mist of all this chaos, a masked vigilante, known only by the name V dares to stand up to the government and is labeled as a terrorist. One night V rescues a mild young woman named Evey Hammond and an unlikely bond between the two emerges, resulting in Evey becoming V's ally. Even though V may be charismatic and have a passion for justice, he also is bitter and has his own personal hatred towards the government for something they did to him long ago. And as November the 5th, the day V states he and those who will follow him will stand up to the government once and for all approaches, Detective Finch and Evey both become more and more determined to uncover the truth about V's mysterious background and Evey's own, however their separate discoveries leads only to more question, and doubts about which side the right side really is. - Half stolen from IMDb.com, yet slightly adjusted.
I love the very beginning of the film where Evey Hammond, portrayed ny Natalie Portman does a voice over, which sound like this;
"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget."
This is quite possibly my favorite part of the film, I mean the entire film is amazing, but there's something special about the beginning I can seem comprehend exactly why it's my favorite part, yet it most certainly is.
There is so much one could say about V for Vendetta, yet I will keep myself short and demand only; that you WATCH IT!!
