Sex and books and rock & roll

Pleasantville

(1998)
Another in the category of I-didn't-appreciate-it-fully-when-it-was-new-but-now-it's-a-favorite.

One of the most conceptually brilliant films of the late 20th c., but an excellent film beyond concept. But good god, when is Gary Ross, who directed Seabiscuit five years later and nothing in the 7 years since (though IMDb shows a couple of things upcoming) going to prove this wasn't a fluke?
