The Affair of the Necklace
All About the Benjamins
The Devil's Backbone
Set in a crumbling boys' school/orphanage/fallout shelter during the Spanish Civil War, the lost boys of this haunting film contend with a vengeful ghost as well as the more worldly traumas of war, greed, and abandonment.
Harrison's Flowers
Ice Age
Prehistoric buddy cartoon.
Little Otik
Brazenly bizarre animated feature by Czech filmmaker Svankmajer.
Monsoon Wedding
The father of the bride is broke; the bride is having an affair with a married man; the caretaker uncle is just a little too familiar with the bride's pre-adolescent sister; and the bride and the groom have never met each other. Despite what these foreboding elements might portend, Monsoon Wedding is a joyous celebration of family.
