Saw The Green Mile. An enjoyable fairy tale, though I have a major quibble.

The scene where Tom Hanks, healed from his bladder infection, goes home to his wife contains a glaring mistake. In the background is playing Billie Holiday's recording of 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love', which was a fine and tasteful choice for the scene. However, given that the scene is set in 1935, and the song in question was not recorded by Lady until November 19, 1936, they couldn't possibly have been listening to it on the radio.

Other than that, it was fine. Nice soundtrack.
