Nice to hear! I also loved Gere's village... the dead girl + singing part especially.
I think one of my favorite scenes in the movie is the first introduction of the Robbie/Claire thing... not the montage (which would also rank among my favorites), but the part with her in the house before it. It mostly spends 3 minutes or so with her walking around the house, doing chores, etc., without any actual dialogue (except for Ledger's narration at the end) but the combination of the expression of her face in the
perfect shots and the music backdropping it tell you everything about the character and that relationship that you need to know. And then throw in the montage after it, and then the first Jude segment right after that, and that's usually the part where I start muttering to myself how awesome this movie is.
