The Spitfire Grill DVD
This well-acted drama won the Audience award at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, causing a festival ruckus when several distributors entered a bidding war in response to the movie's positive buzz. Packing a miniseries' worth of melodrama into 117 minutes, the story centers on a young woman named Percy (Alison Elliott) who served prison time for manslaughter and arrives in a small town in Maine with hopes of beginning a new life.
(1993). Filming locations: Peacham, St. Johnsbury

Me, Myself & Irene DVD
In Me, Myself & Irene , Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a cop for the best police force in the world (Rhode Island). In denial about his wife's affair, he's a nice guy who goes around trying to do the right thing but is taken advantage of every step of the way. Instead of confronting people, he takes the abuse, balls it up, and hides it in the pit of his stomach.
Note: this is probably one of Jim Carrey's worst movies. Only worth buying for viewing the Vermont scenery. Too bad. Could have been a lot better!
(1999). Filming locations: Burlington/Middlebury/Milton/Waterbury and surrounding towns.

Funny Farm DVD
George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ) directed this 1988 comedy that gives star Chevy Chase one of his better-quality vehicles. Chase plays a New York sportswriter who turns to the country for a simpler, happier way of living. He discovers, of course, that things don't work out that way. Hill's usual touch with comic timing, tone, and dialogue give Chase a rare career opportunity to be part of something a little classier than most of his other movies; but Funny Farm nevertheless has its share of so-what gags. Still, the film's overall tone is winning and laid-back, and it makes for nice escapist fare. --Tom Keogh
(1987) Filming locations: Grafton/Townshend/Windsor
