If you haven't seen it, check out The Milagro Bean Field War-- first film Redford directed. Nice outdoors scenery, horses, good looking Latina women, good story and theme.
Milagro is good, but not his first. That would be Ordinary People eight years earlier.

Excellent choice, and I would add another Kevin Kline film, Life as a House.
One other that I can't believe I forgot about in my first post in this thread - Across the Universe.

I won't repeat the ones I like that were already mentioned but I'm just a little suprised no one mentioned the following movies yet:
> "While You Were Sleeping" (Sandra Bullock ... no matter how many bad movies she makes, this one will forever endear her to me)
> "Harvey" (original with Jimmy Stewart - fave quote: "In this life ... you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years, I was smart. I recommend pleasant.")
And I'll add one of my personal favorites, although I've never met anyone else who liked it:
> "Serendipity" - John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale
