Isn't it such a glorious experience when a movie that's garnered all kinds of hype manages to still take you by surprise with just how good it is?
Terms of Endearment, the directorial debut of James L. Brooks, has generated no shortage of praise since its initial theatrical release in 1983, including winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, it's clear a beloved feature even if it isn't quite as widely talked about in modern cinematic conversations as other classic Best Picture winners. Maybe the fact that it isn't so rampantly discussed in the present day world is why
Terms of Endearment took me by surprise or perhaps the fact that I was more restrained in my praise of fellow beloved James L. Brooks movie from 1980's
Broadcast News is why I was so surprised that I fell head over heels for
Terms of Endearment.
