I absolutely love the 1975 movie Grey Gardens. It's about two very eccentric relatives of Jackie Onassis. They lived in a run down house with a bunch of cats and sometimes some raccoons.
Here is the Netflix synopsis:
"Documentary pioneers the Maysles brothers (Gimme Shelter) capture poignant moments in the lives of Edith Bouvier Beale (Big Edie) and her middle-aged daughter, Little Edie -- relatives of Jackie O -- at their decaying estate, Grey Gardens. The ladies shut out their bleak present by recalling richer times and lost loves, and while Little Edie confides that she'd like to leave, the camera captures a co-dependency destined to continue."
There is also a second movie, The Beales of Grey Gardens, that consists of extra footage filmed in the making of Grey Gardens.
Yesterday I came across this YouTube video of Little Edie dancing to the beat of a Madonna song. If you saw the movie(s), you'll really appreciate it. If not, you still might find it amusing.
