The Hudsucker Proxy(1994) is a wonderful old style screwball comedy that makes a serious point about the nature of big business. Tim Robbins stars and Jennifer Jason Leigh in full on Katherine Hepburn mode shows real star quality.

Jeff Bridges and John Goodman star in an unlikely tale of mistaken identity and so much more. All four films are beautifully made examples of American independent cinema at its very best.
