For some reason, I just love Sideways. I thought it was a movie centered exclusively around wine tasting, and therefore boring. The details in the set and character actions really make the movie hilarious-if they had been taken out the dialogue would've fallen flat.

Some favorite quotes:
Miles:"I'm so insignifigant I can't even kill myself....You know, Hemingway, Sexton, Plath, Woolfe. You can't kill yourself before you've been published"

Jack:"What about the guy who wrote "Confederacy of Dunces"?
**********************************************
After Jack follows a waitress back to her apartment, Miles goes back to the Hotel an fall asleep, around 5am he wakes up to loud knocking on the door. Jack Rushes into room naked
Jack:"Fuckin' chicks married man"

Miles: "What?!"

Jack:"Yeah, her husband works the night shift or somethin'. The thing is he comes home and catches me with my cock in his wife's ass"

Miles: "You walked all the way from Solvang? That's five clicks!"

Jack:"Fuckin' A it's five clicks. At one point I had to cut through an ostrich farm. Those fuckers were mean."

From the commentary
Paul Giamatti (Miles)
This took me a good 15 takes to get right. Nothing makes me more nervous that having to lick an envelope on film.
