    I have nothing to offer, I don't watch many 'chic flics' as one would expect from Meryl.

    You certainly might like The Hours and Doubt....both won best film awards.  They are not chick flicks

    "The Hours" blew me away!

    I like Clint Eastwood, but not in a chic flic like 'Bridges'.'

    I read the book "One True Thing" and, at this point, I don't think I'd want to see it as a movie.

    PLOT SPOILER!! "One True Thing" - -

     I found the book excellent but also terribly emotionally draining experience for me.

    It was but it is a great novel and had a stellar cast.

    Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about the movie. 

    You're right, the novel was great. :)

    Let's just put it this way.
    If you would like a little drama and a lot of good acting, google Meryl Streep and you will find an afternoon of both!!

    Thriftymaid nailed them!!
    YeAAAA!!

    The first movie to come to my mind :

    directed by Robert Altman -- "A Prairie Home Companion"     SO excellent! A huge excellent cast. I think this might have been Altman's last film to direct


    A Prairie Home Companion (2006) - Movie Posters (1 of 4)

    And Thriftymaid named some of my others -- 

    "The Hours"
    "Silkwood"
    "Kramer vs. Kramer" -- Streep is who I remember the most from that movie 

    and I also add the made-for-TV miniseries  "Holocaust"

    Yeah, I watched 'A Prairie Home Companion" simply because Altman directed it and, at the time, I was watching a lot of movies he directed. I knew nothing about it other that is is based around the concept of the Garrison Keillor (spelling?) radio program. The movie is a highlight in my life of watching movies. :)
    I highly, highly recommend it - - it went to places I wasn't expecting. Understated, unassuming and moving to me. :)

    Great cast, too.
