I couldn't get through "Welcome to the Dollhouse".
I accept that it is a deadly accurate depiction of Junior High. But, frankly, I don't want to WATCH a deadly-accurate depiction of Junior High. I barely made it through Junior High the first time around. :)

So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
To find dignity
