Being There

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/

In the right mood a truly funny movie. Ironic, metaphoric, sweet and silly.

Being There is a 1979 film directed by Hal Ashby, adapted from the 1971 novel written by Jerzy Kosiński. The film stars Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, Melvyn Douglas, Jack Warden, Richard A. Dysart and Richard Basehart. Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and Sellers was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. This was the last Peter Sellers film to be released while he was alive.

The screenplay was coauthored by Kosinski and the award winning screenwriter Robert C. Jones, winning the 1981 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Film) Best Screenplay Award and the 1980 Writers Guild of America Award (Screen) for Best Comedy Adapted from Another Medium. It was also nominated for the 1980 Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay.

A great Warren Zevon song and n excellent movie. Great acting by Chris Walken, Andy Garcia, and Steve Bucemi. Strange plot, strange ending. Everything I love in a movie.

I have two:

Windy City Heat

A slow show business want-a-be is given the lead role in a Bruce Willis type action movie. Very funny, but kind of sad, however the subject Perry, was well paid to be in this film.

Idiocracy
