I was randomly flipping channels last night and came across this movie called Deep End on Turner Classic Movies. I missed about the first 20 minutes or so of it, but I was still intrigued enough by what I saw to keep watching until the end. It was definitely an enjoyable film (definitely didn't see that ending coming), and I'd definitely consider picking it up on DVD so I can watch the whole thing (it's currently not officially available on DVD (though there are some bootlegs), but there is a company working to remaster it and they do have plans to release an official DVD sometime in the future).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane - This caught my eye on AMC a few weeks ago, and it was surprisingly enjoyable. Jodie Foster plays a 12-13 year old girl whose dying father trained to be able to live independently after his death so that she wouldn't have to live with her bitchy mother or go into the foster care system. She's also kind of a sociopath and has little problem with murdering the people who threaten her solitary life. Toss in a nerdy magician kid who's also cool with the murdering and Martin Sheen as a child molesting douche, and it's well worth watching.
I watched that when it was on TV a while back as well (I think I saw it on TCM, where I watched most of these movies). I definitely second the recommendation as it definitely turned out to be a way better movie than I thought it'd be.

A few (okay, maybe more than a few) other movies I've seen recently:

Spoiler:
The Last Detail:
70s movie starring Jack Nicholson about two sailors escorting another sailor to a naval prison. The sailor going to prison was a young kid who hadn't really done much in life, so the sailors escorting him decide to let him have a little fun (pretty much get him drunk and laid) before he has to spend the next eight years of his life in prison. I thought the movie was pretty enjoyable overall, though I have to admit the ending left a little more to be desired. The Jack was as awesome as he always is (how could he not be playing a character nicknamed Badass), and I really enjoyed Randy Quaid's performance as the awkward young sailor who's going to prison.


The Woman in the Dunes:
An old Japanese movie from the 1960s about a man who studies bugs ending up getting trapped in the desert by a woman who lives there. The man of course makes attempts to escape, but is always foiled by the desert in some way. I didn't think the movie sounded that interesting, but I ended up watching it anyway and was totally blown away by how awesome it was. Definitely worth watching if you're into psychological drama-type stuff.


Three Colors: Red:
I'm not even gonna begin to try and explain what this movie is about, because honestly, it's one of those movies you don't really get until the end (and even then you're not sure if you totally got it. I wasn't that into it at first, but as the movie progressed I was more and more enthralled by it. The only bad part was that I didn't know the movie was the final part of a trilogy (hence the Three Colors in the title), so even though they aren't closely connected, I still kinda wished I had seen the other two movies first (I do still plan on seeing them, though).


Ryan's Daughter:
I'm usually not a fan of these period piece-type films, but this one was okay. It's set in Ireland during World War I, and focuses on a woman who ends up having an affair with a British soldier. All fine and good until the town finds out and pegs her as the traitor who gave up the info about the Irish rebels' weapon shipment. A pretty good movie with some pretty good performances, though I was a bit disappointed to find out that my favorite character in the film was played by someone who had lots of problems on the set and eventually had his entire part dubbed over by someone else. And as a side note, I think this is the first movie I've ever watched that has an intermission in the middle of it (and I actually did have to take advantage of it, since TCM doesn't air commercials during movies and I had to pee like a motherfucker).


Last Summer:
Um, wow. This movie is about a group of teens who spend their summer living at their parents' beach houses. There's not really much else to say about this movie without giving away the ending. Yeah, that does kinda mean the majority of this movie is a bit unremarkable (though it's definitely necessary to justify the ending, but overall I wouldn't say it's bad. I did find out it was based on a novel though, so now I kinda want to read that and its sequel, which was never adapted into a film.


Bloody Birthday:
Terrible 80s horror movie about three kids born during a solar eclipse going crazy on their tenth birthday and trying to kill a bunch of people. It was good in a campy way, but not something I'd watch again anytime soon.


Mon oncle Antoine:
Possibly the best movie to ever come out of Canada. Seriously though, it's a really good coming of age film set in 1940s Quebec about a boy who who works at his family's general store. A lot of it is just experiencing everyday moments, but towards the end it takes kind of a dark turn when he accompanies his uncle, the local undertaker, to retrieve a body. It really is a damn good movie (I already wanted to see it again right after I finished watching it).


There's nowhere I can't reach.
