'Paris, Texas'


I had read before watching this film that it was a favorite of rock musicians Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith.

Not only did they have similar movie tastes, but both struggled mightily with substance abuse, grew up and became famous in the same time period and eventually killed themselves.

They also had famalial issues. "Paris, Texas" is wrought with mommy issues. It's perfect for Smith and Cobain.

More interestingly, I wonder what their favorite comedies were?
