I recently watched a couple of movies that I liked. Neither are new. One was called "Simple Men"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105411/ Kind of a quirky little movie, but good.
The other was called "Once". It's about a street performer musician who meets up with a girl who gets him to write and record his own songs. It's a good film. My only complaint is that the music itself didn't appeal to me very much, but the interaction between the actors was very good.
