Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Immersion Edition) (2011)
Wish You Were Here is a song cycle dedicated to Pink Floyd's original frontman, Syd Barrett, who'd flamed out years before: two grimly funny songs about the evils of the music business ("By the way, which one's Pink?"), and two long, touching ones about the band's vanished friend. The real star of the show, though, is the production: sparkling, convoluted, designed to sound deeply oh-wow under the influence--and pretty great sober too, with David Gilmour getting lots of space for his most lyrical guitar playing ever. And, though the album is big and ambitious, even bombastic, it somehow dodges being pretentious--the Barrett tributes are honest and heartfelt, beneath all the grand gestures and stereophonic trickery. --Douglas Wolk

As Good As It Gets
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
