Notes:

Eccentrically intriguing and darkly emotional to the point of being creepy, Jack and the Cuckoo-clock Heart (2013) is an oxymoron for boringly-interesting for the blockbuster-loving movie-goer. Not really for kids but for young adults and adults. However, it is among the quality movies around cinemas right now.
