"Just one of the guys" (1985)

If you're my age, you're still stunned Joyce Hyser didn't win the Oscar for her role in this movie.

The coming of age movie has been done and overdone throughout the years, but I thought The Way Way Back did it very well with Sam Rockwell playing a particularly memorable role very well and Steve Carrell playing against type as a dickhead:
This is one of my all-time favorite movies.

That's such a great movie.

Terry: "I'm sorry..."

Rick: "Where do you get off having tits?"

Joyce Hyser dated Bruce Springsteen for several years, and later dated/lived with Warren Beatty.

on overlooked movies - I don't know if this qualifies - but one of the funniest movies I've even seen was "Don's Party," a 1976 Australian movie directed by Bruce Beresford.

basic premise - a group of friends have a party to watch the Australian election returns. as people start getting drunk, all sorts of hijinks ensue, with lots of profanity, nudity and insults. it was apparently based on a play.

I saw this on (I think) HBO sometime in the late 70's or early 80's. just something about that Australian sense of humor, but I thought it was hilarious.

(I got to know a number of Australians when I was living in Knoxville, Iowa. There are a lot of Aussies involved in sprint-car racing, so many of them drove at Knoxville during the summer.)
