I LOVED that film.  I have seen it 10 times.  I own it.  Adam Sandler is fantastic, he is a fantastic dramatic actor when given the opportunity.  Luis Guzman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Emily Watson &#8230;  I thought it was terrific.<\/p>\n<p><i>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/i>.  I thought it was the best movie I&#8217;d seen in years.  I&#8217;ll never forget the first time I saw it.  Now of course I&#8217;ve seen it a gazillion times, but that first time?  It was a completely three-dimensional emotional experience.  I laughed, I cried, I thought really hard about stuff, I reflected, I marveled at the acting &#8230; I think it&#8217;s a brilliant film.<\/p>\n<p><i>Living Out Loud<\/i> Another genius film.  Danny Devito&#8217;s best work.  Some of Holly Hunter&#8217;s best work.  I took this film personally.  It&#8217;s a painful movie &#8211; but beautiful as well.<\/p>\n<p><i>Husbands and Wives<\/i> This Woody Allen film got tepid and uncomfortable reviews when it came out &#8211; but not only did I love this film but it&#8217;s one of my favorites of Woody Allen&#8217;s.   It can&#8217;t hold a candle to <i>Manhattan Murder Mystery<\/i>, but then again, what can?  Everyone is at the top of their game here.  Liam Neeson, Mia Farrow, Sidney Pollack, Juliet Lewis &#8211; Blythe Danner, Judy Davis.  All of them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punch Drunk Love. I LOVED that film.
