I really liked the dishwasher scene, too. I generally liked the movie, although the emotional blowout with her mother seemed a little too contrived. The mostly uncontrived remainder of the movie made up for that, though. It seemed rather Altman-esque, although I've never seen Altman's A Wedding, which I suspect was a major influence. Another thing I really liked: everybody's tense, oh-shit-here-comes-the-trainwreck look when what's-her-name, Anne Hathaway's character, stood to toast her sister/steal the limelight.

That scene was fantastic. I really loved a lot of the movie, which is why I just wanted to edit out the really overly long parts to make it tighter. Much of the film felt like a documentary it was so real.

I believe she was "Kym,", and whose birthday did I forget to find room for that?(and doesn't that kreatif "Y" say a lot about her, too) Basically, what Corwood said. (I mean, I'd have put in a mom-blowout too, I think, but since when do people with Big Issues actually fight about that.specific. thing. My dad and I had one about a keychain once, that if you look closer, could have stood in for our whole relationship, but neither of us noticed till later. Or, actually, I didn't; I still have no idea what he thinks.)

Big blow out scenes are so difficult to get exactly right, aren't they? I just watched I've Loved You So Long a couple of weeks ago, and there was one at the end of that movie. I think it worked, but when I know it's coming in a film, I feel anxious. They're so hard to pull off while remaining true to the story and not seeming melodramatic.

One of my alltime favorite blow-up scenes is also one of the most realistic I've ever seen: the scene with Albert Finney and Diane Keaton in the kitchen (hey, another dishwashing scene!) in Shoot the Moon. It was note perfect and utterly hard to watch because it was so real.

From EW.com: 20 Top Horror Films of the Past 20 Years

I haven't seen all of them, but wow do I not agree with their choices of Event Horizon, Scream, or 28 Weeks Later.

Event Horizon pretty much Invalidated the list for me. I like Scream, but top 20? I don't think so. And I don't at all get 28 Weeks Later over 28 Days Later.

The list seemed utterly random, like someone threw a bunch of titles in a hat and pulled out 20 of them.

I enjoyed the comments, which are increasingly bewildered by the list. Because starting with Darkman I, too, was going, "But... that's not a horror movie."

I would put scream in a top 20 though I am not a huge horror movie watcher. I love any movie with a healthy quotient of respectful mockery for the slasher genre.

Event Horizon, not so much.

Because starting with Darkman I, too, was going, "But... that's not a horror movie."

Exactly.

And look, if you're going to include Shaun of the Dead (which I love) on that list, then you also should list Fido.

Hey ... Let The Right One In wasn't on there, was it?

Event Horizon freaked my shit out.

I like Scream, but top 20?

In the last 20 years, though? I can't even think of that many great horror movies released in the last 20 years.
