 | Let The Right One In
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.17 Yes, it is a vampire movie, and there is a bit of blood, but it is also very well shot and just beautiful to look at. A very interesting coming of age tale. Unlike anything I have ever seen, in the best way possible.

 | Billy the Kid (Documentary)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $12.95 In the insert, Miranda July writes a short page about what makes the film so affecting. She writes that it is Billy's "himselfness" that makes us endeared to him. Very spot-on.

And cats. And mothers and daughters.
