As Americans reflect on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, it is a good time to look back on some of the films that tried to capture this moment in American history by giving an on-screen experience to the widespread, unfathomable devastation.
Here are five films we’re thinking about this week as we remember those lost on that tragic day.

Remember Me (2010)
“Remember Me” was not marketed as a film about Sept. 11 or terrorism, but the fall of the World Trade Center does factor into the plot of this love story starring Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin. The film, directed by Allen Coulter and written by Will Fetters, gives subtle hints to the Sept. 11 subplot throughout the film. In the beginning of the film, the audience is told the film is set in New York City in 2001, but it would take a keen viewer to connect the dots, as the year isn’t mentioned again until the very end of the film. “Remember Me” is not a happy romantic film. The story focuses on two lovers: Tyler (Pattinson) and Ally (de Ravin) who are beginning a relationship as they try to get over Ally’s mother’s murder and the divorce of Tyler’s parents in the wake of his brother’s suicide. “Remember Me” will air on TMC at 5:25 p.m. Saturday.
Robert Pattinson’s promotional music video for How to Be is on Next Movies ‘Twilight Stars in 7 Wildly Diverse Music Videos’ list
Robert Pattinson in ‘Choking On The Dust’
If you really want to see Robert Pattinson’s range, forget “Twilight” or “Water for Elephants” – check out “How to Be.” The indie dramedy is about a twenty-something struggling musician forced to move home with his parents. Pattinson is funny and proves to be a capable singer, as this promotional music video for the movie proves.
Variety reports Cosmopolis has just been picked up by RAI Cinema:
Italy’s RAI Cinema — which has a massive 22 pics unspooling in Venice — has announced several international acquisitions, including David Cronenberg’s Don DeLillo adaptation “Cosmopolis,” Rob Cohen’s revenge thriller “I, Alex Cross,” and Jan de Bont’s China-set “Mulan.”
Given that Italian movies are humming locally, RAI Cinema’s current policy is to buy less American product, picking mostly high-profile Hollywood titles that can generate big box office.
However “it’s not easy to find available American blockbusters, so we’ve also focused on smaller films,” said RAI Cinema managing director Paolo Del Brocco.
It acquired “Cosmopolis” starring Robert Pattinson from Gaul’s Kinology;…
‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1’
Opening: November 18thOK, anyone who reads my reviews knows that I don’t care much for the castrated film versions of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire bestsellers. But I have hopes for Breaking Dawn, Part 1 and even Part 2 because both are directed by Bill Condon, who’s the real deal (see Gods and Monsters, Kinsey and Dreamgirls). If anyone can put life into the marriage and long-awaited sex betweem the human Bella (Kristen Stewart) and the bloodsucking Edward (Rob Pattinson), it’s Condon. Twi-hards, I’m with you this time.
