Mal's Essential Video List
By an Amazon.com customer

	Ghost World (Dol) [VHS] Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.30 Based on a comic book, apparently. It has a good cast, and is mostly about nothing in particular, but kind of about hooking up with Steve Buschemi. Clever and obscure.
	Life Is Beautiful [VHS] Buy used from: $0.42 One of the most popular foreign films ever, I suppose. Drama/Comedy about a Jewish family in a concentration camp, and the father tries to tell his son that it's a sort of fun competition.
	Johnny Stecchino [VHS] Buy used from: $15.95 Roberto thinks people are shooting at him because he keeps stealing bananas. Everyone else thinks he's his mob boss look-a-like. Classic.
	Plague Dogs [VHS] Buy used from: $1.89 The most disturbing movie EVER. Two dogs escape from a research institute and are hunted when it is believed they are carrying Bubonic plague.
	Donnie Darko [VHS] Buy used from: $3.00 Astrophysics, evil rabbits, and plane crashes. 20 bucks says that you won't completely understand it either, but the directors cut clears up some confusion (and kills the film).
	A Mighty Wind [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 The latest of Christopher Guest's parody films. This one follows 3 folk groups from the 60's as they come together for a benefit concert. One of the greatest.
	The Believer Buy used from: $4.76 Before he was that guy in the cliche movie The Notebook, Gosling played a Jewish Nazi as he questions his beliefs and such.
	Reservoir Dogs: The Screenplay by Quentin Tarantino Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $8.00 Nasty and delicious film about a bunch of gangsters who know each other only by their color-code names. Their plans go awry when they discover that one of them is a mole.
	Rosemary's Baby - Commemorative Edition [VHS] Buy used from: $1.98 A young wife unknowingly gets raped by Satan and bears his demon child. Good story, but unfortunately it gets a little slow at times.
	Labyrinth [VHS] Buy used from: $0.73 David Bowie plays the Goblin King who steals a young girl's baby brother away when she says the magic words. She has to make her way through his labyrinth to get her brother back.
	Requiem for a Dream (Unrated Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $3.24 Hard to watch film about the terrible things people do because of drugs. Covers everything from heroin to diet pills.
	The NeverEnding Story Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $3.24 A bullied boy reads about the adventures of a young hero in the mythical land of Fantasia and discovers he is strangely connected to this other world.
	The Princess Bride (Special Edition) Buy used from: $3.96 Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl, boy gets attacked by a giant rat in a fire swamp.
	Jim Henson's The Storyteller ~ The Complete Collection Buy used from: $45.47 A Jim Henson television show that was unfortunately shortlived. Obscure European folktales are retold by "The Storyteller" and his cynical muppet-esque dog. Beautiful images and wonderful stories.
	Rubin & Ed [VHS] Buy used from: $26.99 Socially-challenged Rubin (Crispin Glover) keeps his dead cat in his freezer until Ed tries to recruit him for a self-help seminar. Rubin agrees to come if Ed will help him bury his cat.
