My 150 Favorite Movies - #99
The Big Picture (1989)
I happen to love movies about the motion picture industry, and The Big Picture is no exception. Christopher Guest's first directorial effort, it stars the always reliable Kevin Bacon as an aspiring screenwriter whose first "big picture" is mangled by the studios. Also featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Teri Hatcher, in her screen debut, but the real piece-de-resistance is Martin Short in a small but showy role as Neil Sussman, a pushy agent, from whom we hear the following, "I don't know you. I don't know your work. But I think you are a genius. And I am never wrong about that."
