Not Badlands. Totally different genre. Here's another shot.

This so looks like a short story ‘Nuit of the Living Dead’ by David Sedaris.
If you have the time listen to it. It's GREAT. (click here)
So I'm pretty sure it's not the right answer.

No to both. But Puppy's short story title is so close in spirit. I have read Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim - the Sedaris book that includes Puppy's guess - and a few others by him. Some of his essays have brought me to laughter-induced tears.
So here's another shot, a close-up of the book that should pretty much send this one home, home, home.

Hmmm... looks very familiar. Spanish film?
Update: Is it "Fermat's Room"??

catherwood always comes up with these eclectic and very hard to find offerings. This looked like an interesting one. Outside of some TORtured process, is there a way to see this one via the rental or ppv avenues?

Cool film! In my other life I'm a mathematician - so this movie hits all the right marks for me.
Someone else go for me please. I'm in the middle of something.

My first thought on the second shot was Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But they rode in on coconuts instead of a horse - so no.

I'll cop to the eclectic, but i wouldn't have them if they were hard to find -- my public library lets me check these out for free (due in 1 week) and I haven't exhausted the shelves yet!
For the current challenge, I'm getting a fantasy vibe, but nothing comes to mind yet.
