What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

This is such a great movie all around. Great story, great cast, great setting...etc. Plus you can see a pre-Titanic Leo Dicaprio in the role that really should have won him the Oscar. It has the humor of small town apathy as well as the sadness of a lifetime of alienation. Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis are awkwardly perfect together and you'll die laughing when you see the Burger Hut come riding into town on wheels.
