So descriptive, you can easily lose yourself in the smells, tastes, sights and dangers of the city. At once completely different and satirically similar to the cities of our own, you'll encounter characters so widely diverse that you never know what to expect!

Affronted by religious beliefs and culture quite different from his own, Sgt Howie is surrounded by what he considers obscene and immoral. But does that mean the unfamiliar is wrong? Haunting music and powerful images make this a memorable, provoking movie.

A musical in B&W [recently released in color!] by Richard and Danny Elfman of The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo. Wonderful animation sequences that further remove you from reality into The Forbidden Zone!!!!!!

It has a beauty and timelessness in the character's actions and relationships that are believable and unlike numerous cheesy romantic comedies made today. Of course a movie of this kind of plot is going to be predictable, but that doesn't mean it's portrayals of the ideas aren't freshly entertaining.

A personal look at the mentality behind bdsm. The movie is a literal depiction of what happens in the book's central ideas with the same erotic essence and lasting impression. A different and more optimistic ending than the book.

Here's another movie about life before the wall came down [quite different from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, haha! Still very sexually oriented though.] The oppressive East Berlin government's corruption, blacklisting, suicides, and forced love affairs are tightly knit in this intricate plot. You never know what the characters are going to do, which makes a stunning and beautiful ending.
