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.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

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.

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?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Gender and Sexuality: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
How did I not think of this immediately?

I just saw my first Watchmen promo that I had not gone looking for. The bloody smiley popped up in an ad window while I was watching a youtube clip and I got all tingly. It's a contest!
