I finally just borrowed this sequel from a friend, and was dissapointed within the first few minutes. I can think of no positive comments for this "film" and may god have mercy on your soul.

My Brilliant Career
(1979)

If not to see a young Sam Niel or for the gorgeous landscapes of Australia that set the film, see this movie for an interesting viewpoint on feminism and the outback all in one. The main character, Sybylla, is constantly insulted by her alleged friends and family, though they don't intend it directly. Her character's flaky-ness doesn't help her plight as a female in a society hell-bent on marrying her off, but the character's story is worth renting this for.
Kids
(1995)

This movie was a complete eye opener. The fact that there are kids out there
living this life was disturbing as well as fascinating. This is one of those movies that stays with you and makes you mull over the world you live in and what is happening to our youth. This movie may happen in a city, but looking back a few years to my high school days I see that it was there, in my small rural town
where the naive don't see it and most people ignore it. Wow. I would
recommend this movie to anyone who wants a peak into this culture. One step
further would be to watch "Bully" afterwards (by the same director). Although based on a true story, this is the next step up from Kids, all the characters being a few years older. Again: Powerful. (Plus if you watch "Bully", note that the "Hitman" is Leo Fitzpatrick who played "Telly" in Kids) Both great movies, both worth renting if not buying.
