4) We Are Little Zombies
The most anti-cynicism movie ever made, We Are Little Zombies takes the incredibly dark setup of kids who become friends in a funeral home after all their parents die at the same time and injects fun, life, and humor with such boisterous enthusiasm. The debut feature of Makoto Nagahisa, the film utilizes pop-punk and 8-bit video game aesthetics to create a unique animal that spits in the face of selfishness, corruption, and isolation. What do they do when they lose their parents? They start a rock band! That is awesome! Coupled with fantastic acting from all the kids and Nagahisa’s unique direction, this film is the epitome of fun in the face of tragedy.
