Sam-Who-Likes-Some-Things - Dick
Okay, I see the jokes coming already, but really, there’s no crack you can make that isn’t already in the movie.
Does anyone remember this one? From 1999, Dick stars Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams as a pair of 15 year old girls who get to walk President Nixon’s dog. Basically, it’s Jan and Marcia Brady as Deep Throat. Really. A wonderful movie, I saw it in theaters when my two oldest daughters were 14 and 16. They loved it; I loved it; and I loved it tonight when I just watched it again for the first time. Dan Hedaya is the best Nixon - ever. I mean, this movie is so much better than Frost and Nixon on so many levels. Nixon was never tragedy - he was only farce.
Favorite line - Nixon, after the girls see a room full of staffers manning the shredders: “My hobby is papier mache.”
Why is this movie not a huge cult hit?
