I always loved The Guys, starring Anthony LaPaglia and Sigourney Weaver, adapted from a Broadway play. It was the first film (that I know of) to deal with the aftermath of September 11th. Although it is slow-moving at times, you are more than compensated by LaPaglia's superb performance as the fire chief at a loss as to how to deal with the deaths of so many of his "guys". Often touching, without being melodramatic, it perfectly captures how overwhelmed we ALL were in the aftermath of the attacks.

I never understood how LaPaglia was ignored come Oscar time.
