Re: Recommend some Movies

I just watched the movie "Sweet Land". It was a beautifully filmed movie about a German mail order bride in rural Minnesota circa 1920, just after WWI when anti German sentiment was very high here. It is a very sweet love story and I have to admit I cried at the end :tears: I highly recommend it :lol:
