Thumbs Down
In this cinema-verite documentary, a teenage youth group called Thumbs Down decides "to bring Christ to their neighborhood" by holding an anti-war Mass at their conservative Chicago parish. Neither militants nor hippies, they simply believe that Christianity means social action and concern with issues. They present this belief to the community and the confrontation reveals the deepening crisis of communication between the young Christians and their parents, priest, and neighbors.

Absolutely brilliant
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
