The Seven Best Comedies: #4

4. Tootsie (1981)
Directed by Syndey Pollack
Starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange
Winner of the Best Supporting Actress (Lange) Oscar. Nominated for 10, Including Best Picture.

Ahh, yes. Tootsie. The comedy of a thousand rip-offs. This is one of the few drag movies that is actually smart, story-oriented and, above all, funny. Dustin Hoffman, Teri Garr and Jessica Lange are all so lovable in this film. In fact, the movie itself is lovable. And the songs...classic.
