Great movie list! I have to admit that I love watching any movie that Will Smith is in. I feel the older he gets the better his movies have become! I really want to watch Rabbit Hole because it looks really good. 🙂
Great list of movies. Thanks for sharing.

I can’t believe I haven’t seen any of these movies… I’m going to watch them asap!
I need to check these movies out. I actually haven’t seen any of them.
It sounds like the perfect drama for the holidays! This is the first time that I’ve heard of the movie.
It sounds like a lovely movie where you’ll learn a lot of lessons especially about life. I wouldn’t mind watching that and the other movies you featured!
I have not heard of any of these movies but I like the sound of Collateral Beauty as it has Will Smith.
I have not heard f these, but i will look into them. I am always on the look out for new movies.
This is the first time I have heard of these movies. I don’t get to watch movies very often and when I do it is these types of films I enjoy.
Awesome list. I have seen Rudderless, and I liked it. I have yet to find copies of the other 4 movies you mentioned in this post. These would be great for a weekend movie marathon. Thanks for sharing!
i haven’t seen any of these. i’m way behind on my movie watching.
As a former Blockbuster Employee I’m surprised I’ve never even heard of these titles. But the best movies are usually the ones kept secret 🙂 I will definitely get to watching these! Thank you for the suggestions!
I’m looking forward to sharing with my hubby! He is a big Will Smith fan! And what a great list of movies!
Ok I officially need to watch all of these! Thanks for putting this list together!
I haven’t seen them. Happy to have them on my radar now.
WHistle* i haven’t watched any of these movies but they sound like a worthwhile evening spent. Will definitely check them out this weekend thanks
Love, love, love Collateral Beauty! Caution: this movie will make you ugly cry. I did throughout the whole movie. Seven Pounds as well as The Pursuit of Happyness also tug at the heartstrings and Will Smith is super great in these types of movies (he takes you there). Will Smith is great at everything he touches.
