Fatso | Year: 1980 Actors/Actresses: - Anne Bancroft - Dom DeLuise One of My Favorite Movies Ever!!!! I first saw Fatso when I was working in Yonkers, NY in the early 80's. I loved it then and have since seen it about 15 times. I too use lines from the movie in my everyday life, i.e. "how would you like to stuff that in a jelly donut?" or "He (Sal) was my favorite cousin, he always had something on him to eat - always" or one of the best lines was when Anne Bancroft was talking to Dommie about his missed appointment with Dr. Schwartzman (the diet doctor) and she said "Sal had an appointment with Schwartzman and he went and got a pizza instead". Dommie replied "Probably sausage". I think this is pure genius, but I know that this film isn't for everyone (skinny people). I guess it helps that I love to eat and am from NY, but I have recommended this movie to several of my friends out here in SF, CA and most of them have started quoting lines from the film as well. This film is a classic - Go buy it or rent it if you can find it. After the movie order up a nice pizza or plan to go down to Chinatown for a meal or two....... Warning: This movie will make you hungry Dominick (Dom DeLuise) has been eating everything in sight ever since he was a young kid. As you might guess, because of that, Dominick is overweight and he's still VERY crazy about food. But everybody tries to urge him to go on a diet when his cousin, Sal, dies prematurely of being too overweight. Eating tons of food isn't just tasteful, it's a way of life for Dominick, so it won't be easy to break the habit. I had been wanting to see "Fatso" for a long time and I finally got to see it. It's a great movie in many ways. Parts of it are hilarious, such as when Dominick keeps seeing tons of appetizing food on television no matter what channel he turns it to, and other parts are even a little bit sad. But the whole movie is entertaining, and it's hard for me to believe that "Fatso" isn't more popular than it is. If you like great movies, buy "Fatso" as soon as possible! It will make you hungry for food while you're watching it and after the movie is over, it'll probably leave you hungry for a sequel. Warm, Funny and Real You don't have to be an Italian from NY to love this movie but it sure helps! I felt like I was watching my own family during some of the scenes. Of course it helps that my name is Anthony, I have an Uncle Junior and Anne Bancroft looks just like my mother when she was younger. The underlying theme is acceptance and who can't identify with that. People need to be themselves even though everyone tries to change them. I've seen this movie about 10 times and my friends and family love it too. We have a complete repertoire of lines. Some of our favorites: "You eat $40 worth of Chinese food and you're sorry?", "Anthony! Put the guns down and eat!", "Madone, everyone's so dramatic this morning", and my personal favorite "Get the honey Junior". It's terrific.
