Shoot the Moon

(1981)
I gather the consensus is that this is an underrated gem; herewith my contribution to the underrating. Not Finney's or Keaton's fault: they act their asses off trying to save a story mired in long-term-marriage-gone-stale cliché. Also notable for an astonishing annoying and oft-repeated bit of not-quite-melodic piano noodling.
