Shy People (1987)
New Yorker Diane takes her rebel teen daughter Grace to find their long lost relies in the swamps of Louisiana, which opens up a whole can of worms. A world of superstition and ignorance awaits them, but ultimately draws them closer. This is a real gem.
Kurt and Courtney (1997)
Broomfield at his best investigates Kurt's suicide and in the process reveals more about the unstable Courtney, after interviewing those closet to the couple. Nirvana fans will still say she had an indirect hand in his untimely death and I'm one of them
Drugstore Cowboy (1989)- Bob is one cool, hip, respected 70's drug dealer who, after the death of a close gang–member, decides to straighten out rather than stay on the run from the law forever. It's definitely not about glamourising junkies, though, there is a message in there
- Blu-Ray $34.95
Basquiat (1996)- From humble beginnings & living rough on the streets of New York City, to living it up with the rich and famous. Finding his sudden fame and new high society friends to be a world he doesn't belong in he pays the ultimate price of success, with his life.
I've Heard the Mermaids Singing (1987)- Polly is a nerdy but lovable secretary/photographer who becomes a bit obsessed with her glamorous, articulate and educated, new boss. It's whimsical, off–beat and endearing, and one of the best to come out of the 80's.
Paris, Texas (1984)
- Travis is missing, presumed dead by his family, & his wife has abandoned their young son. Not until Travis stumbles out of the Texan desert, & we delve into this estranged couple's past, does the mystery begin to unravel. One of the greatest films ever.
Leolo (1992)- Strangely–captivating, bleak and often shocking, tale of the strangest family you're ever likely to encounter. Through the eyes of young Leolo you'll enter into his bizarre world. You're probably not going to forget this one in a hurry.
Somersault (2004)- Beautifully shot coming–of–age film. An emotionally troubled Heidi leaves an unsuitable homelife to start anew in a new town. She meets and falls for Joe, a boy from a much wealthier family, who seems to bring out a self–destructive side in her.
Leaving Las Vegas (1995)- A gut–wrenching tale of unconditional love. Tender & torturous all at the same time. Ben & Sera are outcasts on the fringes of society who embark on an unconventional romance. It's dark, no happily ever after, but its rawness & poignancy is breathtaking.
