(more) »rank: 24891starring: Allen Ginsberg, Joan Baez, Timothy Leary, William S. Burroughs, Abbie Hoffman
directed by: Jerry Aronson
: :The re-release of Jerry Aronson's biopic, The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg, timed to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of 'Howl,' suits this wonderful documentary and proves Ginsberg central to all radical artistic and political movements of the past 60 years.

directed by: Gregg Araki
: :Though the subject matter of Mysterious Skin is as sensational as that of Gregg Araki's other films (such as Totally F***ked Up, The Doom Generation, or The Living End), his direction is richer and more multilayered than ever before.
