I have 4 1/8 more papers to write, but I decided I can't wait anymore to update some stuff. And since I am in class right now, it's not like I could be writing or reading any of my assignments. For example, we just watched the 15 minute historically ridiculous chariot race from Ben-Hur just for the "excitement" (it apparently conveys that

Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm gonna come up with a list for you. And I'll warn you if they're musicals and why you should watch them anyway. :P

Except I need to write a paper. So I'll reply to this comment with more later.

`Dead Poets Society - I recommended this when you recommended The History Boys. They're very similar, but about poetry, not history. And there's Robert Sean Leonard! And Robin Williams! The ending is extremely depressing, and I would say to end right after they perform the play but.... the very last scene of the movie is fantastic.

`The Full Monty - Have you seen this? It's hilarious. They all get naked but it's hilarious. And has an awesome soundtrack. And a great message about body image, etc. And it's hilarious.

`The Road to El Dorado - Please tell me you've seen this. It's amazing. And the two main characters are secretly Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Seriously.

`Santa with Muscles - Doubt you'll be able to find this over the summer, but it's amazing. I saw it over winter break. Hulk Hogan gets amnesia and thinks he's Santa Claus. Yeah.

`Incubus - The first (?) movie filmed entirely in the conlang Esperanto. With a young William Shatner. It's extremely WTF. Watch it with friends to make fun of it.

`Who Wants to Kill Jesse? - This really awesome Czech film that I saw with DJ once, this guy invents a machine that makes dreams a physical reality, and this guy dreams of a cartoon character, Jesse, who comes to life.... it's really funny.

`The Truman Show - Jim Carrey + The Matrix. I love this movie so much.

`Yes Man - I recommended this to you when I saw it on Friday. :P It's AMAZING.

`Dr. Strangelove - Are you a Kubrick fan? This is a great movie, I think you'd appreciate it. "You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!!"

`Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete - THIS MOVIE IS REALLY GAY. Which means that it's fabulous. Another movie to watch with friends to laugh at. Especially the very last scene, when La Belle finally gets with the prince dude. It's cracked out.

`The Legend of Mulan - No, not the Disney film, though it was made the same year. Another really cracked out film. It's Mulan, and she has her panda friend, and they do 'shrooms, and then they go in the hole and there are green monkeys.....

`Les Visiteurs - Watched this in French class, it's really funny, and if anything you can laugh at it for (probably) being historically inaccurate. :P A knight and his servant dude accidentally kill the knight's bride's father, so they try to go back in time to prevent it, but this witch screws with them and they get sent to modern time.... self explanatory from there.

Ok, that's all I have for now. :)

`Hedwig and the Angry Inch - a rock musical, almost. About this transwoman in a band, following around this guy who stole her music. Interjected with stories of how she grew up in East Berlin. Just... really fantastic. Though I watched it the night after the party where that girl made that comment about my chest, and there's this one song where Hedwig sings about how her SRS got botched, and, oy, that was fun. Also, my favourite song in that is based heavily on Plato's Symposium. :) It's just a very nice movie.

`Ma Vie en Rose - WHY THE FUCK HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE YET. SRSLY.
