I laugh my butt off every time the mother dresses the younger one up so much that he's so bloated he can barely walk. He falls down on the snow when the bullies attack. "He laid there like a slug - it was his only defense."
Uh, Scott... check your birth certificate. It's "Scut Farkus". ;)
Do yourselves a favour next time you break out the DVD, check out Melinda Dillon's performance. Make her your focal point in every scene she's in - you won't be disappointed. She puts in an incredibly subtle wee performance, filled with little glances and motions. I don't think she gets enough credit.

Oh my gosh! That is probably my favorite part of the whole movie!

Great movie. Seems to never get old.
Can we all just move on please. This stirs up alot of memories I don't want to relive.

I was just telling Spike the other day that I almost cried the day Darrin McGavin died. It was almost like losing a member of the family.
And I second Spike's kudos for Dillon's performance in the movie. She's always on, even when she isn't the focus of the shot.
