71. Kramer vs. Kramer



Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Directed by Robert Benton


I don't have a lot of life experience when it comes to divorce and family issues, but this film has always been my favorite on the subject. Kramer vs. Kramer is part dissection of divorce and part father-son bonding film, but it's altogether a great film. Despite my lack of familiarity with the subject, the relationship between Hoffman and Streep rings true to me and is higlighted by several standout scenes (Streep won the first of her two Oscars with this role) I don't know much else to say except that if you haven't seen it, I think its a definate must watch. Below is the trailer as well as one of my favorite scenes from the film. Enjoy!
