I just finished the first movie on the list, Lost In America, and I've decided i really need to see more Albert Brooks movies. Very funny movie and a great way to kick things off.
Synopsis Stolen From Bing Movies: Bored with their cushy suburban existence, yuppie David (Albert Brooks) talks his wife Linda (Julie Hagerty) into selling everything they own and hitting the road to "see America." As a starting-over gesture, David and Linda are romantically remarried in Las Vegas -- which, ironically, proves to be the beginning of the end of their idyll. In short order, Linda loses their life's savings, the couple nearly self-destructs at Hoover Dam, they take blue-collar jobs in a go-nowhere Arizona town, and....Well, if you know your Albert Brooks, be prepared for a steady stream of manic social satire.
Favorite Quote: "I've seen the future and it's a bald headed man from New York"
Favorite Scene: David loses it at Hoover Dam
Awards: The film's script won the National Society of Film Critics award for Best Screenplay.
Would Jessica like this movie? I doubt it. She's more into the Breakfast Club type of 80's movie.
