My Cousin Vinny (1992)






Two yutes find themselves in deep trouble while traveling through sweet home Alabama.  Enter Vinny, an inexperienced lawyer and cousin to one of the yutes.  He arrives to save the day, along with a little help from his tough-as-nails girlfriend, in this delightful fish-out-of-water comedy.  The film appealed ;-) to both audiences and critics. Marisa Tomei gives the performance of her career and her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is evidence ;-) of that, making that long-standing rumor simply heresay ;-). And as an added bonus, many people added positraction to their vocabulary thanks to the film.

  2. Thanks for the shots; I was doing some exploring today in Georgia, and on the way home I saw the Putnam motel. Looks like it suffered a fire, but it's mostly intact.
    When I got home, I googled the location (to see what caused the fire), and was shocked that I'd been 'splorin a site that was used in one of my favorite movies...AND I'D HAD NO IDEA!! Funny how things like that just happen sometimes.

    1. You're welcome! That is funny! When I had stopped there it was definitely run down. There were some construction people there so I figured it was going to get a facelift.
