Christopher Guest: movie clips

OK, so maybe I have too much time on my hands today. But sitting here and watching the Iraq War Report is giving me heartache. Browsing and sharing a few movie clips provide welcome distraction.

I love Jennifer Coolidge in Best In Show, and was hoping to find her popcorn scene, but the soup scene is hysterical as well.


Catherine O'Hara having a meltdown in For Your Consideration.


Fred Willard as a manager in A Mighty Wind. Wha'Happened?


Jane Lynch, the butch lesbian, and Jennifer Coolidge, the lipstick lesbian, commune in Best In Show.


Finally, the incomparable Parker Posey steals the Starbucks scene in Best In Show.


Christopher Guest is one of those people who make the world a better place with his work. His casting is flawless, and his loyalty to the chosen actors builds a unique depth and connectivity throughout his films. Watch one. Laugh long time.
