Sling Blade
(1996)
Golly! Saw this when it was new; didn't remember how syrupy-sentimental and painfully predictable it was. Distinguished by a few performances: especially Thornton's unique take in pursuit of the Afflicted Guy Oscar®, but also John Ritter as a gay man in small-town Arkansas and J. T. Walsh as the creepy crazy guy to balance Thornton's calm Karl.Notable cameos by indy deity Jim Jarmusch as the Frostee Cream boy and, as Karl's father, the guy who as a rookie actor played his cinematic forebear Boo Radley, Robert Duvall.
