Multiple Maniacs (1970)
So bad it's good, but only if you're already a Waters/Divine Fan
Even as someone who enjoys films that are a little odd, I found this movie strange. My major complaint is that there are several moments when the film just goes way too slow. However, it is worth the time it takes to finish it.
John Waters first tried to get New Line to distribute this film, but was turned down. He followed this with Pink Flamingos, which almost would seem like a sequel to this film(without ruining the end of this film, it's not possible unless the entire end of this is all in Divine's mind).
Scenes that make this film worth it are the beginning, the Rosary scene between Mink Stole and Lady Divine, and of course the Lobster scene. It's also interesting the way that Waters tried to have this movie really about murder of Sharon Tate before it was discovered who did it. You can see an interesting scene film after the fact where Divine reads about Manson "taking credit" for her work.
And remember "Think of the stations of the cross... think of the stations of the cross"
The Care Bears Movie (1985)
First movie to scare me as a kid
This is a film that even now I have fond memories of, and can apreciate as a classic. The animation is not superb, and neigther is the story. However, it is strangely aplicable as a social commentary about American society. The story, although almsot laughable, is quite fun to enjoy. The cast of characters seems almost a marketing sceme of the mid-80's, but what children's TV program can claim not to be such? If for no other reason sit back enjoy the silliness, and just care.
