My all-time favorite film! I first saw it in my teens and immediately fell in love with the story and, of course, the soundtrack. Since then, I have probably seen the movie 100+ times (honestly!) on both the big screen (it gets an annual screening at any of the numerous indie cinemas in Portland, OR) and on video/DVD. I have also hosted film clubs, and H&M has been featured regularly. More often than not, I have people leave saying they were deeply affected by it and how much they loved it. The symbolism throughout, the quirkiness, the subtle humor, and the songs make it damn near perfect.
