"I came"

#20 HAPPINESS

Todd Solondz makes some of the most interesting films. This film follows a family who is entirely unhappy with their lives.

The best single moment is when the dog licks Trish's face.

Is it as incisive as 'Welcome...'? Probably not, as it runs a bit too long.. but it's definitely worthy of a Top Films of All-Time list. Let's see more good movies like this on here! I kid, I kid! Or do I?

I like all of the Todd Solondz films & even though I do agree that this film runs a bit long, I still like it better than the wonderful 'WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE'.

welcome to the dollhouse i love. i never made it to the end of happiness, although i'm thinking it suits my taste more now, than it did back then.

'welcome to the dollhouse' is no doubtedly great, definitely in my top 100, but maybe I hated middle school so much that it hurts me a bit to remember?!

You should try watching 'Happiness' again, if you of all people don't find the joy of this film, well then fuck, mankind is doomed.
