I quite enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine. It just won best original screenplay.

Art Carney in 'Harry and Tonto'.:smile:
Changing the topic a little bit, last night during the awards they kept referring to 'Little Miss Sunshine' as a story about a dysfunctional family. I thought they functioned great. I'm being serious. I mean the one dude did attempt suicide but it wasn't because of the family. Hell, the family rescued him. And Grandpa? He was pure love.
What the fuck is a functional family supposed to look like anyway? Stepford people?

Awesome observation, Shelby. Misfits might better describe them. The three generations of men (gramps, dad and son) had a certain gusto for perservering, no matter how bad the cards were that fate (or their choices) dealt them. It was my favourite movie of the past year.

The first one that comes to mind is 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'.A great cast with brilliant performances all round.A faultless movie.
I do not enjoy Gone With The Wind. My family lived to suffer through Sherman's march to the sea. My great-grandparents endured it all and hated yankees until the day they died.
There are many movies that I truly enjoyed but one in particular was Frank Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life." Most of us, no matter how messed up and pain filled our lives are now, have made a difference in somebody elses life along the way. The world has been a better place because we've been here.
Oooo I loved Eight ON The Lam with Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, and Jonathon Winters. It was totally insane. hahaha

That is hard to believe! Jack Nicholson at his finest,you have a treat in store when you get round to it.
It was good to see Martin Scorsese triumph this time.I haven't seen the movie yet but it's top of my "must see" list.
Your mention of Meryl got me thinking of when a woman last won the oscar for a comedy.I think Diane Keaton for 'Annie Hall' was the most recent,before that it was probably Judy Holliday for 'Born Yesterday'!
