Watership Down: Good then, great now

I recently acquired a copy of the 1978 animated movie "Watership Down," based on the famous novel by Richard Adams. I watched this movie over and over again as a child. It's a memorable tale about a psychic rabbit who foresees the violent demise of his entire warren, so he and a few other rabbits escape to form a new rabbit society based on their shared values. Along the way they befriend a bird, knock boots with some domesticated rabbits, and inspire a revolution against a tyrannical mafia-style super rabbit. I recommend the film wholeheartedly, and wanted to highlight some of its most entertaining lessons to help convince you of its merit:

1. Rabbits are bloodthirsty monsters

2. Rabbits have terrible dental care



3. The rabbit grim reaper is a black, floating rabbit head with red glowing eyes who appears when you're on the brink of death.



4. No seventies movie is complete without a psychedelic montage with an Art Garfunkel song playing in the background. (I especially like the part when the sun bleeds.)
