Oh good god.
I read "The Philadelphia Story", but my brane translated it as "Philadelphia".

Which I guess, same goes.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I think the movies should be fairly newish and not too obscure. but I'm going to throw in a few classics where they really fit the theme.
Thanks again everyone, this is very helpful.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I threw in Monsieur Verdoux because I just saw it and really liked it. Charlie Chaplin in a comedy about a Bluebeard. Truly weird and truly wonderful.

Gender and Sexuality: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Crime and Deviance: Dressed to Kill (De Palma) [this could fit under gender and sexuality as well]
Technology and Society: Sliver, Cloverfield
Religion: Wide Awake
Social Stratification: Gattaca, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Also, Strega mentioned Cronenberg's Crash, which could fit under Technology and Society in addition to Gender and Sexuality.

The Ruling Class - Peter O'Toole: Social Strata and possibly gender - a quirky choice for one of your classics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone said Heathers, right?
Yeah, I skimmed. Possibly skipped. Wanna make something out of nothing? I means--it's patently impossible with the differing number of letters.
And also, the drugs talking. Way too much effort to search.

I think I saw Heathers on the list.

Rory O'Shea Was Here (aka Inside I'm Dancing)Loved this. Definitely James MacAvoy's My Left Foot but/and the performances were great.
I'm impressed by y'all's suggestions and have been updating my netflix queue all day.

And also Crime and Deviance!
I was just thinking, Robocop has a fair amount of Media stuff, too. Ideally you can come up with a dozen movies that you just repeat in different combinations to fill all of the categories.
...or is annoying people not the goal?
