The nest egg

Lost in America

(1985)
I should make a list of films that didn't really do it for me first time, then later joined the pantheon of my favorites: this, Bull Durham, The Gay Divorcee . . . those are the ones that come to mind immediately, but there must be others.

I was considering Broadcast News tonight but went with this because I didn't really have time for the other's 2-hour-plus running time . . . and didn't even think of the Albert Brooks connection until the film was almost over . . . and then flashed back to having made the same choice, also without considering the cast coincidence, the previous time I screened this.
