My 150 Favorite Movies - #42

The Ice Storm (1997)

This wonderfully dramatic film feels like a really good novel, in fact, it is based on the novel of the same name, by Rick Moody. Based in the 1970's, it tells the story of suburban Connecticut families dealing with angst-ridden teens, and dysfunctional adults. Directed by Ang Lee, the stars are A++ caliber: Joan Allen, Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver as the adults, Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, Tobey Maguire and Adam Hann-Byrd as the kids in the story. Hands down, one of the best films about the seventies, as well as one of the best films of the nineties, period.
