Best in Show (2000)

On first glance "Best in Show" looks like one of those spoof documentary comedies which I don't get, I just usually find these sorts of movies unfunny. And to be honest I didn't have great hopes when I finally decided to watc...

When Marnie Was There (2014)

103 mins     Animation, Drama, Family

88 mins     Comedy
