Hey Pastor Worley...
Thought I'd say a few words. I know you have your thing in Leviticus you have to resort to regarding gay men because there's nothing in Jesus' words about gays. By the way, I assume you're keeping kosher too, for consistency? I mean, you're a fundamentalist. This a la carte stuff

Dark Star (John Carpenter/Dan O'Bannon, 1974)
One of Carpenter's first films. This is about as no-budget indie as it gets, but that plays to the film's favor. The film takes up 2001's motif of space being big, cold, empty and quiet and expands upon that to point out that the boredom of space, if it doesn't drive

Edipo Re (Pasolini, 1967)
Following up my last post with Pasolini's Canterbury Tales, here is his magnificent version of Oedipus Rex, in which he does Oedipus' story from the beginning, merging the myths with the play and framing it all with Freud.

"Foxes" (Adrian Lyne, 1980) + RIP Donna Summer
A great lost film from 1980, its look embodying 1980's not-quite-this-not-quite-that quality. Starring Jodie Foster and the Runaways' Cherie Currie(playing the girl-in-trouble you'd expect, and quite well), as well as Sally Kellerman. It's the kind of realistic film about teenagers you wouldn't see a
