Some of my most cherished childhood memories revolve around this movie. The Neverending Story catapulted my imagination and creativity. Its also one of those movies you can still enjoy as an adult.

This is another 4 star movie you need to rush to see. Its a disturbing thriller about a couple (Sam Neil and Nicole Kidman) on the open seas in their boat.

See a baby faced Thandie Newton and Nicole Kidman in this film about teen girls and boys in boarding school. Newton's character is a Ugandan student who doesn't fit in and begins dating a British boy from the near by boys academy. The couple's relationship is of course forbidden and they must hide their affections.
This is a good teen drama. Perfect for a quiet Sunday afternoon. (via Amazon)

Heavenly Creatures (1994)

3 people recommended this item

Description

This is an amazing Peter Jackson film (pre Lord of the RIngs) Jackson's career trajectory really leaves me confused. He went from gory low brow B movies like Bad Taste to mainstream fair like Heavenly Creatures to Lord of the Rings. Consistency, please.
Heavenly Creatures is at first a sweet movie about the friendship between two teen girls that moves to being a little odd, to awkward, to disturbing. One of these girls is crazy and takes the other one to crazytown with her. (via Amazon)
