With thanks to uintatom. 
Iâm going to break the movie rule and post a British TV series.
If youâve never seen this itâs only 6 episodes with an hour long special to finish the series. Itâs far superior to most movies churned out by Hollywood and well worth the time.

Hereâs a belated Halloween film. Itâs a comic drama about a gravedigger who just canât seem to keep all the corpses underground. (This is Not suitable for children and some of the corpses are nude). Itâs Italian title is Dellamorte Dellamore:
From âReefer Madness: The Movie Musicalâ -
Mary Lane:
âNext week, president Roosevelt
is coming to town.â
Jimmy:
âWow! You know, my pop says
Heâs a Labor-appeasing,
Supreme-Court-packing bolshevik.â
If you havenât already seen the 1936 original âReefer Madnessâ (original title âTell Your Childrenâ), you will laugh much harder if you do. Both are available to watch for free.

As a sucker for Samurai culture and movies i really enjoyed this semi fantasy tale.
Watched the anime as a teenager but the new movies were also very good imo.
Covers the western influence on Japan and the birth of the opium gangs etc.
Not close to a historic correct story.
But has some very good spirutual messages etc.
In 1868, after the end of the Bakumatsu war, the former assassin Kenshin Himura promises to defend those in need without killing. Kenshin wanders through Japan with a reverse-edged sword during the transition of the samurai age to the New Age. When Kenshin helps the idealistic Kaoru Kamiya from the gangsters of the powerful opium drug lord Kanryuu Takeda that wants her school for his production of opium, Kaoru invites Kenshin to stay in the school. But the drug chemist Megumi Takani escapes from Kanryuu and seeks shelter in the school. Meanwhile the killer Battosai is murdering police officers and leaving messages attached to their bodies. When Kanryuu poisons the population to get the school, Kenshin and the street fighter Sanosuke Sagara join forces to attack their common enemy.

So the nude thing is bad, but the corpses are all fine? 
Most in The US have seen this film but others might not have. Jeff Bridges won his first, very well deserved Oscar for this film with a wonderful performance as an âoddâ Texas Ranger, modeled after TR Joaquin Jackson. The theme song in the 2nd link briefly renewed the short career of Townes Van Zandt (Van Zandt County, TX) in modern times, although heâs been gone for decades. Fantastic cast, lots of action, humor and you might wish youâd thought of their scheme first! Rent it when youâre able.
⌠Ok, here are a few âŚ
The November Man - based on a Bill (William) Granger novel. His other works are interesting reading as well. His novel âHemingwayâs Notebookâ is also part of the November Man series.
The Presidentâs Analyst - 1967. - What if JFK had a shrink? One of the best lines in the movie âŚ
James Coburnâs (the presidentâs analyst) girlfriend Joan Delaney (Avengers wannabe) asks him
âAnxieties, are they catching?â . Great movie. Pay special attention to the scenes with Pat Harrington (Arlington Hewes) ⌠they are 50 years ahead of their time.
The Magus - Ok, I guess. A bad adaptation of the novel. In this case read the book and make the film in your head as you read.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 2004 - when watching this think in terms of what it might mean if one had a non-material âmethod(s)â of reorganizing (re-bonding or non-temporal re-logicizing) of the bundle of relations that we refer to as âthe selfâ.
Enjoy!
