Movies in which i figure are worth watching either once and louving or continously watching and louving it are:

(no particular order)

.*.Hard Core Logo.*. by Bruce McDonald (the book is almost the same with more added details). The movie is pretty much about a Vancouver punk band caleed "hard Core Logo" that had broken up but were now getting back to do a reunion tour which takes them on multiple adventure and confrontations. Bruce McDonald also has Dance Me Outside, Highway 61, Roadkill and i think but i cant remember for absolutly sure Clerks.

.*.Margret's Museum.*. I've no idea who directed or produced whatever this movie but nonetheless its AMAZING! It could be a true incident because what happens in this movie durning that time period seemed to happen quite often. From what I can recall the movie is either Based in Halifax or New Bruinswick, Canada..which for one appealed to me cause that's gettin a little closer to NF. not alot tho'..anyway..
Marget being the main character goes through and ordeal where her father dies while out mining..she goes on with her life with her oh so discontented mother, young hormone pushed brother, and slow dying grandfather whom she lovingly whacks when he begins to cough.
Margret meets a tall skinny beared man who plays the bagpipes with so much emotion that it makes her cry. She was in *love* and her mother couldn't stop telling her that he was going to do something to crush Margret's heart. Margret didn't believe it. So they married..with the strict order he would never become involved with mining..EVER.
Foreshadowing...anyhow he wants kids and she says they don't have enough money for the two of them let alone children so he goes down to the pits to start mning to make some money. Margret move out with her mother who spends her time attending other peoples and strangers funerals because it settles her mind keeps tell her "i told you so".
Of course margret and her bow get back together but only fo a short time..her husband, brother both die in the mines...then her grandfather whom she lovingly tapp'd when he coughed had died while she was out to get the other bodies which she would let the workers take to the hospital. She would clean them...
She then would also take out/cut off: Her grandfathers lungs which were black and shriveled from the dust in the mines.
Her brothers penis cause that was the only thing of worth to him.
Her husbands tongue, because she loved to hear him speak, his lungs to compare to her grandfathers to prove that he wasn't well enough to work and should have gotten workers comp., and his fingers because she loved to hear him play his bagpipes.

As you can guess margret got sent to MuddyBanks where all the "insane and crazies" go to. She was rehabilitated then released at a later date where she returned to her home where she and her husband lived to face with her mother who quickly left in disgust and a tint of love. Now this is where the title "Margret's Museum" comes in...all the body parts that she had cut off or out she pickled and placed into jars..made a sign "Margrets Museum. Mine Workers" which attracked one person that you can see who screams running from the disgusting display. Leaving Margret rocking in her cahir thinking...remembering.
.*.i've probably ruined the movie by sayiang all that but this is supposedly a *hard* movie to come by..or thats what i was told when i went looking for it. my description or whatever is not all completly accurate..so if you can actually watch margrets Museum I really suggested..I thought it was Amazing.*.

.*.The Breakfast Club.*. just because i' infactuated with that kinda stuff.

.*.Trainspotting.*. was actually decent..the book is decent too.

.*.The Last Dance.*. which im ashamed to say i've only seen parts of but loved either or.

.*.A Bastard Out Of South Carolina.*. or that could just be "Carolina" i can't rally remember This movies about the attitudes toward child abuse in the 1950's. Quite good.

.*.When Women Had Wings.*.

.*.Citizen Ruth.*. a big struggle over a girl her baby and pro choice v.s. pro life

.*.Drugstore Cowboys.*.

.*.To Kill a MockingBird.*.

.*.7 year Itch.*.

.*. Joe's So Mean to Joesphine.*.

.*.The ballad Of Josie.*.

.*.Cinderella Liberty.*.

.*.The Truth About Cats & Dogs.*.

.*.Rosewood.*.

.*.Jane Eyre.*. the books great too!

.*.Cry Of Angels.*.

.*. The Terror of Mechagodzillia
Godzillia:King Of monsters
Godzillia Vs. Monster Zero
Godzillia Vs. Mothra
Godzillias Revenge.*.

.*. A Walk With Love And Death.*.

.*. Fluffy.*.

ooh, go see Harold & Maude. It's a movie about a 20 year old guy obsessed about death. He likes to fake his death to get his mom's attention, but she's really pre-occupied with trying to marry him off. He hangs out at funerals, and meets a 79 year old woman (maude)who is just a crazy lady. She's got a great past & lots of cool junk. Just a captivating character. Harold falls in love with her, but she won't marry him. I'm not gonna tell you more though. it has great quotes too.
