Little Miss Sunshine (2006 Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris)

Written by Michael Arndt, who worked on Toy Story 3, A Walk in the Woods (Redford & Nolte) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He won the Oscar. This features a fabulous cast of Abigail Breslin, Alan Arkin (also won his Oscar), Toni Collette, Steve Carrell (OK, he had just been in 40 Year Old Virgin), Paul Dano and Greg Kinnear. With Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris.

This is terrifically well directed too and it's a great shame they have done nothing but Ruby Sparks and the new Battle of the Sexes. Tim Suhrstedt's compositions are great and use the widescreen terrifically well. Even the editing is funny - Pamela Martin (Hitchcock, Ruby Sparks, Youth in Revolt).
