This is home,
always open, always there
waiting for me past any curfew. – Karen Head
Whenever I go out to Sunset, we try to spend at least one evening watching a movie stoned. And we’ve found the best movies to watch stoned are those with a lot of music and simple plots. Well, when I went out a couple of weeks ago this was our flick; it’s one of Grace’s favorites and if you have a good ear for musical style you may recognize the composer of the song in this trailer (who happens to be my favorite songwriter). The links above it were provided by Clarissa, Kevin Wilson, Walter Olson, Jesse Walker, Popehat, and Radley Balko, in that order.
