I went as Sara Goldfarb, the mother in Requiem for a Dream (2000) (here's the imdb page), a role for which Ellen Burstyn was nominated for an Oscar. At the end, her hair was red with white roots, so I wore a white wig with red sprayed on the ends, a house dress, black tights, and oxfords. Darren Aronofsky, director of Pi (1998) and The Fountain (2007), directed this bleak, depressing, and brilliant picture that also starred Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans. I recommend watching it with a friend. The end will stay with you for a LONG time.
Jack, who often is told he looks like Richard Dreyfuss, dressed as his character Dr. Leo Marvin from What About Bob? (1991) (imdb), wearing a blue blazer and a tie, among other things. In his pocket he carried a book, Baby Steps, by Dr. Leo Marvin. The movie is hilarious, directed by the great Frank Oz (voice of Muppet Miss Piggy), with Bill Murray as Bob. Highly recommended, whether you're alone or not. Other Oz pix I recommend: In & Out (1997) with Kevin Kline trying to figure out his sexual orientation, and Bowfinger (1999) with Steve Martin (who wrote it) as an unknown movie producer trying to make it in Hollywood.
