I Doubt You've Heard of Gummo

I don't know about you but i love weird indie movies.  Gummo happens to be one of the best. The film takes place  small town in Oklahoma I believe that has been decimated by a tornado and never quite recovered.  The story, of lack of, centers mostly around a young boy as he sells cats to the local grocer, sniffs glue, and has relation with the mental challenged all with is crazy friend by his side.  To all of you out there who love strange movie i'd definitely suggest downloading it as soon as possible.  If you know any of your own left of center movies please post them in a comment.

  1. This movie is insane, it was on cable TV not too long ago. There's a scene in it where he's just arm curling a bunch of spoons. The description above is really adequate.

  2. The best part is with the kids in the junkyard picking on the rabbit. Not really worth watching the whole thing more than once though, imo.

  7. Actually the movie is placed in Xenia, Ohio... Where I grew up lol. The tornado was in 1974 and it destroyed half the town. We had another one in 2000 I think that again destroyed half the town. We just rebuild.

  9. ugh I've heard so much stuff about this and never bothered to check it out, thanks for the reminder.

    As for you, assuming you haven't seen too many older movies, definitely check out Midnight Cowboy. If you have seen that, let me know and I'll suggest something else.
