#6 – “Juno” (2007)
Directed by Jason Reitman
Since appearing as “Boy Kissing Girl” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Kindergarten Cop” aged just 13 Jason Reitman has come on in considerable leaps and bounds, quick to step out from the shadow of his father (“Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman) and forge himself an impressive directorial career of his own with the likes of the 2005 political satire “Thank You For Smoking” and the 2009 Academy Award nominated “Up in the Air”.

By the time the songs of Adam Green’s filthy-minded, sweet-natured band Moldy Peaches appeared in Juno, he had long since struck out on his own, recording several albums that beefed up his lo-fi sound with gospel choirs, pan flutes, and swooning strings. Minor Love takes a step back toward Green’s folky roots, ventilating the instrumentation and smearing the vocals with a thick layer of reverb.
