Randy Quaid's Best Movie

One of the best movies ever made. Directed by Randy Quaid's wife and costarring Quaid and Michael Caine (of Austin Powers fame) this film can be described as nothing short of cinematic brilliance. Its few shortcomings are easily overshadowed by its intrigue, beauty, and pure enjoyability. Great Movie.
