Hotaru no haka (Grave of the Fireflies) Unrated

This film is such an incredible gift to the world. I saw this on the recommendation of several friends, and it's probably the most emotional viewing experience of my life. A touching, haunting story about an orphaned boy and his baby sister trying to survive during the harsh existence of World War II Japan. Sheer visual poetry, a mesmerizing story, and the most lovable protagonists ever to grace my TV screen. Five stars isn't nearly enough.

Jaws PG

The first summer blockbuster, and still one of the best. I make it a point to rewatch this film every year on the first day of summer. We're gonna need a bigger boat, indeed. And I don't care if the shark looks fake. It could still kick your ass.
