Toronto Your favorite movie... explained in 25 words or less...

Noted, I'm stealing this idea from the Edmonton boards, hopfully they wont mind.
So, Trying to keep to the plot, story, and characters explain in 25 words, or less.

Here's mine:

Velvet Goldmine:

Young Reporter, Glam Rock, Curt Wild, played by Ewan McGregor. Scenes not ment for the weak minded. Good Music and Costumes.
