Best Of Dreyfuss QOTD
    Question Of The Day

    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Best Of Dreyfuss Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 3 Comments1 Min Read

    For some reason, my September has been chockfull of Richard Dreyfuss.  From ‘Stand By Me’ the other night to ‘Jaws’ at work this week to my current watching of ‘Close Encounters Of The Third Kind’ (a sentimental favorite), I’m pretty much drowning in Dreyfuss.  It’s not like I’m complaining, the man has a presence, but it’s hard to decide which Dreyfuss is the BEST Dreyfuss, given his presence in tons of amazing movies and also ‘What About Bob?’, leading us to today’s American graffittied query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) can’t beat Roy Neary, if only for the intense gaze he gives his plateful of mashed potatoes, asking: Which movie outing constitutes the absolute Best of Dreyfuss?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      The Goodbye Girl. Really glad they did not go with DeNiro. Waiting for the humor of Brazil and Midnight Run was a better choice for him, I think.

      Dreyfuss got his Best Actor Oscar for this role. Well deserved. Loved the scene where the kid had a stomach ache. And his Richard III was hilarious!

      He is a terrific actor. Most every role he has been in has been great. I agree Goodbye Girl is one of the best.
