Name that movie

Fargo. One of my all-time favorites. Masterful on so many levels. Can't watch it too many times. And the accents: You betcha!

You betcha!

I love the weeping Chinese classmate. "You're a super lady!!!"

And then there's, "He's fleeing the interview! He's fleeing the interview!" And by the way, how about we add Steve Buscemi and the wood chipper to "great movie deaths."

And what a wonderful ending: "We're doing OK Norm." Or something close to that. Gotta love Margie.

Oh yeah, one more (hard to stop): "You find something Margie?" "Nope. Think I'm gonna puke."

I grew up with those accents... and the Coens went to my high school.

Roger Ebert once said that normally he doesn't like scenes that don't relate to the story or advance the story, but he made an exception for the "super-lady" scene.

Fargo may be the only movie where a woman is pregnant and doesn't give birth during the movie.
