What's that? Were we not discussing illicit family relations? My mistake. Now we are.
It has come to my attention that two of my new favorite films prompted me to gasp, boggle-eyed and strangely intrigued, "He's putting what, where? That's his sister!"; "She's kissing whom on the what? That's her son!"
Oscar nom Jacki Weaver really, really enjoys the company of her son in Australian crime thriller "Animal Kingdom."
The Greeks prove once again (though sorry Yorgos; Sophocles got there just a titch before you) that they are the masters of things-that-make-us-go-"ick" in this Best Foreign Film nominee. It's like an episode of "Leave it to Beaver." But then pretend David Lynch got his hands on it and made it really, really disgusting.
In the spirit of all that makes us cringe....but keep watching....I've provided you, dear readers, with a list of the best "This Fam's a Little Too Close for Comfort" films. Add more. I won't judge. I swear.
1. The Dreamers: People, let's not even pretend we weren't rooting just a little for Eva Green and Louis Garrel to get it on. They're French. It's fiiiiiine.
2. Close My Eyes: It's okay to watch and like it if it's Clive Owen perpetrating the incest, right? Right?!
3. Chinatown: Let it out, Ms. Dunaway. She's your sister! She's your daughter! This one's just really gross.
4. The Manchurian Candidate: But Angela Lansbury makes it so positively endearing!
5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Because ultimately, it's a cautionary tale about liking your family a little too much, innit?
Psycho? That's icky romance at its incestuous best.
