Just watch Shawshank Redemption fifty times and you'll have it covered. Okay and Donnie Darko too. And The Godfather and back to Shawshank. Oh yeah, and a dose of Mulholland Drive.

If you can find it you should watch Yolanda ad the thief, it's a classic but a pain to find a copy. In fact the search could probably keep you going till you die. Or maybe I just have bad luck.
