Sideways (2004 Alexander Payne)

Payne and Jim Taylor have adapted Rex Pickett's novel. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church on a sort of California stag wine-tasting holiday before the latter's marriage hook up with Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen.

"If anyone mentions Merlot I'm leaving!" Giamatti running down hill, slugging bottle of wine. The sadness of the alcoholic (moment where he steals from mother). A light at the end of the tunnel.

The usual team: Kent, Papamichael, Tent.


Excellent.
