How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967) - The lead has a look about him whenever he's scheming that looks more like he's about to touch somebody inappropriately, so the scene where he sings to himself in the mirror is confusing.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) - Once again, primitive man has shown me up in a skill--in this case, art. Well, at least I'm taller and have a longer life expectancy. Suck on that, primitive man.

Yellow Submarine (1968) - This is the part of Lent where I plug the show the chorus is working on. Come Together: The Music of the Beatles. See it. As for this, I was not nearly high enough to really get it, but I had fun (i.e. vodka) anyway.

Time Bandits (1981) - No, I never saw Time Bandits until just now, shut up. I've been busy.

Not Terry Gilliam's best work (I'm looking at you, Brazil), but even his worst is visually striking and whimsically unsettling.

The Mikado (1939) - If you can get past the casual, old-timey racism, it's really quite an enjoyable film.

TrollHunter (Trolljegeren, 2010) - It's like if Norway made The Blair Witch Project, but without the immediately detestable characters whose deaths you root for from start to finish.
