Guest alex Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Is basing your annual top 10 on films you've already seen some sort of break with tradition btw? Anyway, off the top of my head: Little Miss Sunshine, The Squid and the Whale and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada were all pretty good. Enjoyed A Scanner Darkly too.

Gemmill 47675 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the Little Miss Sunshine contest. Her family wants her dream to come true, but they are so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Olive's father Richard is a flop as a motivational speaker, and is barely on speaking terms with her mother. Her uncle Frank, a renowned Proust scholar, has attempted suicide following an unsuccessful romance with a male graduate student. Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, has taken a vow of silence, which allows him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him. And Olive's grandfather is a ne'er-do-well with a drug habit, but at least he enthusiastically coaches Olive in her contest talent routine. Circumstances conspire to put the entire family on the road together with the goal of getting Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine contest in far off California. Written by Jim Beaver The Hoover family is the dictionary definition for the word "dysfunctional". The dad Richard is a man who gives lectures on winners and losers, the wife is Sheryl, a chain-smoking housewife. The uncle is Frank, who is not only gay, but recently attempted suicide. The grandpa is Edwin, a drug addict. The son is Dwayne a rebel who has vowed not to talk until he gets into the Air Force. And then there is Olive, a seven-year old girl who dreams of going to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. So what happens when they do? There you go, Parkinson.

Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, takes a gun to the fucking lot of them one night. He kills without emotion (although he does burp after the second culling) as he has taken a vow of silence. Which had allowed him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him.
