Grand Canyon (1991)

My favorite movies tend to carry some higher sense of destiny, providence or purpose. Danny Glover is a towtruck driver who saves Kevin Kline's lost and broken-down bacon in the wrong side of L.A., telling the gang leader, "It's not supposed to be this way..." Mary McDonnell speaks the best lines to Kevin Kline in Grand Canyon when she says, "How do you know he won't be your best friend until the day you die? These are miracles, Max." Steve Martin does a haunting bit as a boorish splatterfilm director who says, after he's made his wife cry, "While we have a moment..." Five stars.
