Mon, June 20, 2005 - 7:35 AMIt's been a couple of decades. You might be able to find it on video at an off-beat movie rental/shop. The stories are like Twilight Zone was at its best. -

Mon, June 20, 2005 - 10:00 AM"Man From the South" and "The Way Up to Heaven" ---- oooh, shivers.
Both stories build, and build, and build, and then resolve in one or two sentences that just BURN.

Sun, June 19, 2005 - 11:17 AMDepending on my mood:
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More
or
James and the Giant Peach
I'd put Matilda in there but you know after I saw the movie I didn't like the story as much for some reason. -

Sun, June 19, 2005 - 2:50 PMHenry Sugar+6 is the most emotionally intense of all of them. I think both Henry Sugar and the included Swan story had me cheking up and crying afterwards, both powerful. I don't even remember why I was crying since it was probably 15 years ago I read them, just that they were super intense and stayed with me for a long time. -
