CW: Tragic death.
We’ve watched a lot of movies this Oscar series, but none have the charm, wit and sheer good vibes of Moonstruck. Between Cher’s Oscar-winning, understated, and grounded performance and Nicolas Cage’s wild, untamed portrayal of a man perpetually on the edge, this movie is that rarest of media that just makes you feel good when you watch it. John Patrick Shanley writes a masterful screenplay, and Norman Jewison directs the film with equal treatment of the written word and the camera’s eye. It’s a killer combination, and it’s no wonder this movie garnered so many Oscar nominations in 1987.
