113
You know what I loved about 'Sideways'? Well, the wine, of course. But it was one of the few movies in which being a writer was realistically depicted. I loved how the Paul Giamatti character tries so ineptly to talk about his book.
114
One thing about 'Thelma & Louise' we can't forget: Brad Pitt. Oh, yes.
115
There's something so satisfying about road trip movies - and books!
