even though its not on your list I would strong recommend you seeing No Country for Old Men, a spectacular film worth seeing, and a full of suspense

I know, I know, but some of my friends have already seen it and I don't want to force them to sit through the same film twice.

I really would like to see it though.

Charlie Wilson's War seems interesting, a small piece of American history.

I would probably hesitate between The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le scaphandre et le papillon) and Michael Clayton, but watch the former before the latter????
