Cabin Boy (1994)

It's one of the few movies that I actually own.

This movie is one of my favorites. It is funny and nice to look at. There is alot going in this movie that you might not catch if you get up to go to the bathroom or if you fall asleep for awhile. My ex-girlfriend and I used to watch it when we first started dating. She would always fall asleep after about ten minutes and I would watch it for about a half hour more and then I would go to sleep too. Later, my ex-girlfriend would watch it by herself in bed to help her get to sleep. She eventually came around to like the movie for it's rich entertainment value. The characters are excellent and the plot is pretty good. The message of the movie is it's most redeeming quality. Check it out if you liked Late Nite With David Lettermen when Chris Elliot used to "crash" the show.

Tarka the Otter (1979)

It makes you wish you were an otter.

What a treasure this movie is. The book is pretty good too. Sometimes the sequences between the pivotal events in Tarka's life can be little long winded, but overall the plot is interesting. It will make you cry if you are one of those tenderhearted saps. The anti-sport hunting message of the film makes it all the more meaningful. I was a vegetarian for a while until I found a copy of this on vhs and watched it. Now I supplement my diet with fish. I cook my fish though, unlike Tarka who eats 'em alive (eels too! yuk).
