2. "Junebug"
Amy Adams is a great actress and her role in "Junebug" was meant for her to play. This is the type of film that makes me happy Netflix exists.
"Junebug" is the story of urban vs rural. A newlywed takes his wife back to North Carolina to see his parents for the first time. She's an art gallery owner. His family is not made up of art connoisseurs. The family is made up of mom, dad, brother and brother's girlfriend, ready to give birth. When Adams is introduced as the woman about to give birth it's officially her film. For the next hour and change you want to see things work out. The successes and failures of this family are easily predictable, but it doesn't matter. It's damn near impossible not to root for everyone.
If you aren't able to relate/cringe to moments in this film, we'll probably never agree on the art form.
