Running on Empty (1988)

The Popes are a family who haven't been able to use their real identity for years. In the late sixties, the parents set a weapons lab afire in an effort to hinder the government's Vietnam war campaign. Ever since then, the Popes have been on the run with the authorities never far behind. Their survival is threatened when their eldest son falls in love with a girl, and announces his wish to live his life on his own terms.

This is the one movie guaranteed to make me weep every time.

Even the happy moments in this film made me cry, even as I laughed. Warm and difficult and amazing. Christine Lahti was amazing, I would love Judd Hirsch for this and Ordinary People alone, Martha Plimpton is incredible, and as for River Phoenix, he died much too early and when he did we lost one of the best actors of our time. Sidney Lumet is a phenomenal director. This just became one of my favorite films.

Absolutely brilliant. It's moving without being sentimental, heartfelt without being melodramatic. Amazing performances from River Phoenix, Christine Lahti and Judd Hirsh - they SOLD the intricately complex family dynamics, and the blood ties that bind all of them together. I watched this five times in three days. And it made me cry.

"Running on Empty" introduced me to River Pheonix. I was young and I didn't know he had died several years before.
