Scott Miller Wrote:...speaking of Giammati, has anyone seen Sideways? Not the type of movie I generally rush to see on the bigscreen, but I am a fan of Alexander Payne.
I just saw "Sideways," and I enjoyed it very much. Paul Giammati is terrific. I know at least 3 guys who are just like him.
"Sideways" also has the single funniest scene I've seen in a very long time. That particular scene is so hysterical I couldn't stop laughing. Since arriving home, I keep having flash backs and laughing all the more.
I'd like to see "Sideways" get the Oscar for best adapted screenplay. I don't think it's going to get anything else - not best supporting actor, not best director, not best movie. It's a funny and moving script that Giammati brought to life beautifully.

Maggers Wrote:Thanks for the suggestions, Scott. They are all films I've wanted to see. and I want to check out "Sideways," too.
I'll add Dummy to my recommendations. Another bizarre love story starring Adrien Brody as a guy who is debilitatingly shy unless communicating through his puppet.

But I don't think it was deserving of Best Picture, so I'm glad it didn't win. I do think the performances were excellent. If you are a wine-lover, you might get a lot more out of this movie than I did, though.

What was the funny scene you are referring to? PM me if you don't want to spoil it.
