Shakespeare in Love is another one.
I really enjoyed The English Patient, but it is very long and does flutter a lot between the present and the past. I like those kinds of epic/tragic stories. I also thought The talented Mr Ripley was very good. Minghella went wrong on Cold Mountain though, I didn't get into that one at all.

As for films that I never bothered to finish. Well, generally speaking I try to avoid all Hollywood big budget/action/CGI fests. Transformers was utter shit. My wife convinced me to go along, I didn't walk out of the screening, but I stopped watching and basically ate popcorn and allowed my mind to wander for well over an hour. I can't watch shit like that. Who the fuck went out and watched the sequel? These people are sick in the head.
