Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal"
---my brothers are quite a bit older than me and grew up watching this movie, I loved it every time and just fell into the story of the evil Skekses and the gentle Urru and the poor Gelflings... everyone else was watching 90's cartoons and I was either watching that or "The Neverending Story." Lots of good monsters and crazy characters with good intentions but bad results...

"Strictly Ballroom" is for the older more sarcastic me :). Funny with an odd flair to it. "Moulin Rouge" (
"Lili," very old movie with a big heart and a lot of innocence.

And for a complete opposite side "Hellboy," "The Leage of Extradonary Gentlemen," "Catch Me if you Can," "Some Like it Hot," "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar"

"Pump Up The Volume" is a fav I discovered while in high school... I had never seen anything that focused on the act and promotion of rebellion. It was strong, not like people talk about on 'some other level', but still strong.

"Joe's Apartment"--a stupid, messed up, piece of trash movie... and I die laughing every time...
