The devil wears Brooks Brothers

Broadcast News

(1987)
A project to be completed by the end of the year: to compile a list of my top ten favorite cinematic portrayals of drunkenness. While watching the one from this that will be high on the list (maybe as high as #2), I immediately thought of three others, including the almost certain #1, but I didn't want to take the time to do full research tonight.

Meanwhile, here's how I feel about this film: if James L. Brooks had been a creative force behind only one piece of dramatic art in his life, this is the one I'd need the most. And I think you know how I feel about that cartoon show he put together with Matt Groening.
