Some recommended films ( some I’ve seen and some I want to see )

Carts of Darkness: A documentary about the Grocery Cart racing subculture in North Vancouver.

The Cat Came Back: animated short about a cat that came back… the very next day.  Based on a folk song I think.

Blackfly:  I saw this on PBS when I was little and absolutely fell in love with it.  Once the NFB website is working for me, I hope to fall in love with it again.

The Great Toy Robbery: Santa meets the old West
