Fried Green Tomatoes

This is a well-acted tear-jerker and tale of women handling the challenges of life with a bit of southern spice. The cast is stellar and the script is first-rate. Watch it as a couple.

If you havent seen Fried Green Tomatoes, dont wait, here it is. One of the best films of the 90s, its one of those films where everything seems to come together seamlessly. Featuring wonderful, underrated performances, particularily by Mary-Louise Parker (Grand Canyon), Mary Stuart Masterson (Some Kind of Wonderful), Jessica Tandy (nominated for an Oscar for this performance) and also noteworthy supporting performances by Gailard Sartain as Ed Couch, Stan Shaw as Big George, Richard Riehle as Reverend Scroggins, Nancy Moore Atchison as the youngest Idgie, Raynor Scheine as Curtis Smoote and Chris ODonnell, in one of his first film performances, shines as Buddy Threadgoode. The film, based on the novel by Fanny Flagg (aka the actress Patricia Neal-remember her in Hud?) interweaves tales which illuminate the hopes, dreams, struggles, heartbreak and loves of several women; the stages of understanding women go through in consciousness raising; and four stages of a womans life: childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. Although its definitely a chick flick, men are, or should be, interested in what makes women tick and heres a good start. Directed by Jon Avnet (Up Close & Personal), music by Thomas Newman, cinema photography by Geoffrey Simpson (Little Women) and co-written by Fanny Flagg and Carol Sobieski (Oscar nomination for best adaped screenplay).

Lovely dvd

It was a great movie.

As far as I can tell the dvd is fine but the case came to me busted up. It was wrapped like it was brand new but it was broken in multiple areas up at the top. That is my only complaint. Otherwise I’m super glad to have the dvd here.

Here we go into the lives of people who could be our next door neighbors as they confront and conquer lifes little issues. Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange together make the movie. BUY IT!

This movie is SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! It’s a classic!!

I love this movie
