Stardust
I didn't have a chance to see this in the theater, but knew I would want to own this because I love Neil Gaiman.
Boy, was I right.
This is one of the best films I've ever seen. We've owned it a week and I've already watched it twice.
A lovesick boy goes on a quest to fetch a fallen star and thus win a girl's heart. But he stumbles into a fairy kingdom, and the star turns out to be a beautiful girl. Add in three witches who want to eat the star's heart and seven brothers vying to become king and you've got a fairy tale that could have been written 300 years ago. It is magical, lyrical and beautiful.
Buy it. You won't regret it.

Ah, Yes!
We just watched this on Christmas. I really enjoyed it, although I'm not a movie buyer because I don't like to watch things more than once (there's so much good out there...I don't have time for repeats...usually with a book either, but I digress), so we checked it out from our library. Either way, I've been recommending it left and right, surprised at how many people haven't seen this one.
