Weve all seen alot of great movies, but theres one film that made you appreciate movies more than the casual viewer. Most of the time it isnt something epic, but more forgettable. Except to you.
So this isnt another "Whats Your Favorite Movie?!" thread where you could list a bunch of films, but what can you remember was the film that made you seek film. Made you a movie buff. Theres only one.
My choice I never saw coming...
The World According To Garp
Why I have no idea. I was enthralled. I was like 12 or 13 and cried at the end. From his childhood on was just the quirkiest most bizarre story ever told, but with a fluidity and rhythm which never seems contrived. Not yet have I seen a director handle such eccentricities and bizarreness without overdoing it. Most of the time theyd just make it a stupid comedy rather than try and sell it like the book read. I read the book too and its actually weirder. George Roy Hill was a better storyteller than John Irving. Speilbergs JAWS was better than Benchleys for that matter but I digress.
Glenn Close, and John Lithgow made their break in this flick. Both were awesome. This is a must see!
