Sketches (aka Breaking the Rules), 1992

Revisited this with Trish. We used to watch this A LOT when we were 16. I've seen it over and over throughout the years, so it's all firmly planted in my head. Trish, however, hadn't seen it for years, and it was great hearing her say lines along with the film, and laugh BEFORE funny things happened because she remembered it so well. It's the kind of movie that sticks with you.

A great reminisce. And I still cry. We both cried. It's just a gorgeous film. Holds up, too, after all these years, The leads are so good here. Makes my heart break to see C. Thomas Howell acting his way through the worst shit these days when this movie so clearly lets us know how good (and deserving) an actor he is.

On the upside, the world has finally given Jason Bateman his dues. And, I remember reading an interview with his a few years ago wherein he mentioned this movie, and how much it means to him. It means a fuckload to us, too. In one of those unexplainable ways. It's just perfect.
