The Border -- A short animated film based on my personal childhood experience during the Gulf War and the Second Intifada, Israel dated 1991-2000. A wall was build to seperate two cultures in constant conflict.

Stripes -- Bill Murray and Harold Ramis as bootcamp flatfoots who join the Army to meet girls and actually succeed. Mud wrestling will never be the same.

Bickford Warner, a.k.a. Kid Blue, is a bumbling outlaw who wants to move to the "big city" to retire from his life of crime. Arriving in the tiny town of Dime Box, Texas, he begins a series of routine jobs; cleaning spittoons, sweeping out a barbershop, slaughtering chickens, and shoveling coal into the huge kiln at the town's only factory, the Great American Ceramic Novelty Company, which manufactures the sort of cheesy ashtray sold at tourist traps in places like Atlantic City. It's not easy to blend in. The Sheriff is on his case, berating him and calling him white trash. But then again, maybe "blending in" isn't possible in this town of eccentrics, including a married man who rhapsodizes about male companionship and the Greeks, and a fire-and-brimstone preacher who is building an "aero-cycle" (a bicycle with wings) and praises the Lord for his gifts of peyote, hemp and alcohol. Eventually, though, Bickford is drawn back to a life of crime...

An offbeat western adventure film about a Union officer in charge of a jail in the Southwest. Renegade Apaches attack an Army outpost, killing everyone and the officer leads an expedition against them. The prisoners become part of the Union troops.
