You Can Count On Me 2000, R)
If Lifetime made an honest movie about orphaned sibling relationships that had some actual heart to it. I gave it an extra half star for Truthful storytelling. |

Ladri di Biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) (Bicycle Thieves) 1948, Unrated)
Post WWII parable and a fine work of Neo Realist cinema. |

Classic naturalist cinema with jaw dropping detail captured through some modern, some McGyver ish camera work. |

In the Realms of the Unreal - The Mystery of Henry Darger 2003, Unrated)
Imaginative documentary filmmaking that gets you interested in even off putting or droll subject matters like the life of a famed Artist. |
