Favorite Movies Lately, I've seen every movie starring a cartoon character, and not much else. So other than The Namesake, I have to reach back some years. I love movies by Almodovar and Merchant Ivory films. The Hornsby adaptations were fun, About a Boy and High Fidelity. I liked My Life in Pink and Lost in Translation.
