This is one of the few films on the list I had not seen before, though I am familiar with the play--it being one of my favorites.
The 1966 Mike Nichols' film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards, won 5 (including Elizabeth Taylor's win for Best Actress) was based on the Tony Award-winning 1962 Edward Albee play of the same name.

Sydney Pollack's "Tootsie" stars Dustin Hoffman as the consummate out-of-work actor: He's constantly complaining about the lack of jobs and yet every time he lands a part, he loses it, burns a bridge or somehow alienates the director/cast/crew by being ridiculously difficult (in service of the part of course!).
Tootsie is both a send-up of the reputation of the "difficult" actor as well as a telling portrayal of gender stereotypes.

"This is Ours," is a beautiful film by my friends Kris and Lindy Boustedt and it's our first departure from the AFI list here at 100 of Some(Movie)Thing.
And I'm glad it is.
Alright, now that you've watched, click below and listen up!

Stanley Kubrick, you magnificent bastard!
Here it is, the 1971 masterpiece of ultraviolence and swanky fuckin' lapels.
