Children of the Corn, with Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton. No idea who they are. But what's important is that the movie's based on a story by Stephen King. While it wasn't really scary at all, it was very interesting in several conceptual ways. Like, if nature/religion's usual path and purpose is self-propagation, what does it imply about the children's cult that they do the opposite and basically winnow themselves down over time, in isolation? I think it's a remarkable, subtle characterizing detail about the cult, personally, making it a kind of antimatter of the "natural order," as it were. And there's a whole wealth of things like that, from the uncanny nature of children to the driving force behind the cult, to questions about the expanded setting (especially with King's penchant for such).

Best in Show, with Parker Posey, Will Hamilton, Eugene Levy, and a bunch of other vaguely familiar people (and apparently some famous real-life handlers). Kind of like a really long, deadpan-humor montage-sequence, or a pretty damn funny collection of character studies. It wasn't exactly like the dog show I've been to (inside vs out) but I could see how there could be real-life analogues of those characters. It made me curious to go to more dog shows and start looking for them, actually. And Fred Willard at the announcer was the best. In show.
