	Donnie Darko (2001)
Synthetic realism and a nod to the Mexican Wizards.
	Magnolia (1999)
Is this the story of one human in many different bodies and different ages at the same time?
	Lolita (1997)
From the novel of the darkest humor ever. This rendering blows away Kubrick's. Beautiful and complicated. Just like it should be.
	The Fog of War (2003)
Every American should see this film. No non-American should ever see it.
	Being John Malkovich (1999)
Portal me into Cameron Diaz's hair.
	American Beauty (1999)
Kevin Spacey plays everyone to their best here.
	The Work of Director Chris Cunningham (2003)
Amazing, brilliant and more. What he was able to put inside the Bjork video is incredible.
	Happiness (1998)			Not Rated
I don't know what to say about this. Black, black, black humor. Very black. Dark and black. Very dark. Not even a little grey, just black. And funny.
