P.S. my husband didn't watch the movie with me.

I had the same reaction to The Big Red One. I watched it because Mark Hamill was in it, and I haven't seen it since it opened in the theatre. Realism is not in my comfort zone.

I've got my hand up. Saw it, loved it. Quirky and poignant. Gotta see it again, soon.

I have to add:

The Wrestler
Green Mile, one of my all-time favorites
and........

Going Places (French, 1974) I will not ever forget this film. Funny, erotic, irreverant and classic all rolled into one. Gerard Depardieu and Jeanne Moreau. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
