What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Gilbert Grape is a small-town young man with a lot of responsibility. Chief among his concerns are his mother, who is so overweight that she can't leave the house, and his mentally impaired younger brother, Arnie, who has a knack for finding trouble. Settled into a job at a grocery store and an ongoing affair with local woman Betty Carver, Gilbert finally has his life shaken up by the free-spirited Becky. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →"What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" wasn't a great date movie. Would it have been both the first and last date with a different movie? Probably not, but who's to say what would have happened if the feeling walking out of the theater was more "that was great" and less "that was weird."

unlabelledView post →I agree that DiCaprio was fantastic in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. It was a pretty stacked category in '93. 2 years later was when I gave up on the Academy, when they awarded Forrest Gump Best Picture over Pulp Fiction AND The Shawshank Redemption. Forrest Gump is a good movie, but come on.
