My 150 Favorite Movies - #50
Wonder Boys (2000)
With a supporting cast that includes Frances McDormand and Robert Downey Jr., and a soundtrack that prominently features Bob Dylan, is it any wonder that Wonder Boys tickles my fancy? Michael Douglas stars as an English Professor who's blocked on completing his second novel, years after making a major splash with his first, and Tobey Maguire costars as one of his students who may just best him in the novel writing department. One of the best movies ever made about campus politics, it was filmed in Pittsburgh, in and around the Carnegie Mellon campus. Written by Steve Kloves, directed by Curtis Hanson, and based on a novel by Michael Chabon, this is one movie with an impeccable pedigree. Not to be missed.
