The Natural History of Parking Lots (1990)
He just wanted to be loved
The Natural History of Parking lots is a very good film I loved it. It is hard to find but it is entirely in black and white which I believes adds to the serious nature of the Film.
The film is about Chris (Don't know who plays him) a troubled 17 year old boy who gets his excitement through stealing cars in Los Angeles. One day he gets arrested and is left in the custody of his rich but neglectful father, who couldn't care less about him, and makes his older brother Lance (B.Wyatt) take care of Chris by paying him 2,000.
Chris an Lance at first don't get along that well but eventually do. The film more or less is about them bonding and getting to know each other. Anyways Lance invites his girlfriend Kelly over and Chris finds them in the bathtub together and gets angry at Lance and feels Lance is neglecting him. The ending is really sad and Chris has to now live with is awful father. At one point Chris asks if his father loves him and says yes in the most uncaring unenthusiastic way possible. I felt sorry for him.
Lance/B. Wyatt steals every scene he is in with Chis and I think is the heart and soul of the entire film. He has great chemistry with the guy who plays Chris. I recommend this film.
Eskimo Limon (1978)
The First Teen Sex Comedy
I recently found out that Lemon Popsicle is considered to be the world's first teen sex comedy. It helped start all those ones in the 1980s like Porky's. Anyways Lemon Popsicle if anything is more of a drama with a few comedic moments. If you know this you will enjoy the film more.
Lemon Popsicle stars Yifatch Kitzur as Benji the nice guy, Jonathan Sagall is the good looking one who plays Bobby, and Zachi Noy plays Hughie the Fat one who honestly is just there for comedic relief.
One day a beautiful new girl named Niki moves too town and Benji immediately falls in love with her. But she likes Bobby just because he is better looking. Eventually Bobby gets Niki pregnant and when he finds out he wants nothing to do with her. And Benji being the nice guy pays for Niki's abortion and takes care of her. She invites him to her 18th birthday party and she is in the arms of Bobby leading Benji to be very sad in the end.
I definitely recommend this film it is very relatable and realistic.
