Maggie Smith, Truman Capote, James Coco, Peter Falk, Alec Guinness, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Nancy Walker and Eileen Brennan among others. WHY YOU RECOMMEND IT: Funny as hell. Lots of GREAT actors.
MOVIE: Jesus Camp GENRE: Documentary QUICK SUMMARY: This documentary tells the story of several families in the Christian Fundamentalist subculture as told by them, how they would want it told. WHY YOU RECOMMEND IT: When I watched this it struck several nerves from my own childhood, having grown up in a very similar area to yours. While I doubt that most Christians are anything like this, it is a very enlightening view on this corner of the religious Right. Not suggested if you're looking for anything resembling lighthearted.
