Part of why I love Moulin Rouge is my crush on Ewan McGregor. I can go either way on the heartstring tugging. I saw the Reader last night, and didn't care for it, but the couple behind me loved it.

I like big sweeping movies that tug at the heartstrings - I like sentimentality as long as it doesn't cross the line into cheese. :) I really liked Australia, even though I couldn’t stand Moulin Rouge.

I think it would have been something to witness on the big screen (I still rue the day - er, months - that I never saw Moulin Rouge in the theater, but with a nearly 3 hour running time? I'm not sure I could do it... I like to watch long films at home so I have the luxury of taking breaks (that may span several days, if required).
