If I were going to package the box set of The Happy Movie Trilogy, it would be as follows:
- Field of Dreams, to make me remember there is adventure and things happening outside myself and outside my understanding of the world.
- City Slickers, to make me remember that life is only boring if you make it boring.
- Groundhog's Day, to make me remember that really living through a day is important whether it's your last or one of many thousand and that the best way to get through the day is being generous with your time.
And since I'm the Hollywood producer-type, and always looking for a buck, I would probably market the Happy Movie Trilogy 2, which would be slightly subpar to the original but still not bad:
- Moonstruck, to make me remember true romance.
- The Royal Tenenbaums, to make me remember that there is always hope and joy in creativity, no matter how hard the subject.
- Wonder Boys, to make me remember that ... well, that people can still make damn good movies.
I think that's a pretty good list. Though the first one is my clear favorite.
