twenty-five movie gems


Today I am having a pain in the butt. Aargh. It's that darn occasional chinky back thing. Oh well, into each life, some rain must fall, right? While I am waiting for the chinky to pass, it's a good time to enjoy pictures of vibrant flowers. Beauty is good medicine. It's also an ideal time to hunker down and watch movies.

Last night, QG and I found a good one on Netflix called Comes a Bright Day. We like quirky, offbeat movies featuring people with bad teeth. If not bad teeth, then at least poor fashion sense. Barring that, we'll take anything based on a true story, especially if it features a few pot bellies and lovely wrinkled faces. Perfection is boring, ya know. Here's a list of my favorite movie gems, in no particular order. If you watch all of these, your life will definitely improve. Really. You can count on at least one epiphany. Enjoy!
