I know I give a lot of recommendations here, but I think you all should see "Gates of Heaven." It is a documentary made in 1980 about pet cemetaries. It is hard to explain; maybe bizarre is a good word. But bizarre in an awesome way.
It's a really moving film. It was sad to hear stories about people and their pets and how much they miss them, but it was also sweet to see them honor them.
It's also really funny...unintentionally funny. But it never mocked these people. It's just funny, what some people say. Like to guy who names "the pill" as the main contribution to the rise in pet ownership. Apparently, even though women work and don't have children, they still need to come home and fondle something.
It sounds like a weird movie, and it is. But it is SO worth it.

Yeah I think I've heard of this...it sounds really interesting. I am definitely going to rent it!
I love all of your recommendations...keep 'em coming!
I just watched Akeelah and the Bee and Superman 3 and Snakes on a PLane. Snakes made me LAUGH hard. I recommend it with a margarita before and during.
