The Best of Youth

I saw the movie The Best of Youth over a year ago and I still think about it a lot.
I know a movie is good if I am thinking about it the next day. But a movie is great if you are thinking about it over a year later.
The Best of Youth is a six hour movie and it is in Italian which might make some people think "hell I am not going to watch a six hour movie in Italian." But I have major movie ADD, I normally spend part of the time in the movie theater trying to figure out how much more of the movie is left, and I did not do this in The Best of Youth. We did watch it over two nights but still three hours each night is a lot. Also I would watch all six hours again.
The movie itself is about two brother in Italy in the late 60s. It follows them through the 70s and 80s. I won't tell you more about it just that you should watch it.
It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and it is so worth six hours of your time.
I have a good song from the movie that I will upload to my next muxtape.
What movies do you still think about?

Muxtape #2

I just updated my muxtape. This is actually a mix CD I made for my friend Amy sometime last year. The CD had 19 songs on it but you can only have 12 songs on a muxtape so I cut some of the songs. Also, the song "I found a love" is supposed to be by Wilson Pickett but I did not have that song in MP3 form so I used the Ryan Shaw version of the song. If you get a chance check out the Wilson Pickett version of the song since it is really great.
Here is the track list:
1. I Found a Love - Ryan Shaw
2. Johnny Appleseed - Joe Strummer & The...
3. Our Hell - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton
4. Going Missing - Maximo Park
5. If Looks Could Kill - Camera Obscura
6. Think Long - Mates of States
7. The Underdog - Spoon
8. Australia - The Shins
15. Anthems for A 17 Year Old Girl-BSS
16. Song for Myla Goldberg - The Decemberists
17. Plasticities - Andrew Bird
18. A Bottle of Buckie - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
19. Back in Your Head - Tegan and Sara
