Singles

This one is a throwback that stands the test of time. Anyone in their twenties (or anyone who has been in their twenties) will find joy in this film of short stories of young singles who live in the same building (off of 19th and Thomas on the backside of Capitol Hill) in Seattle, WA. An all star cast before they were stars, includes the members of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and others as themselves. Keep a keen eye out and you may spot Paul Giamatti and Eric Stoltz in cameos. This Cameron Crowe film perfectly captures not only the horrors and tribulations of dating, as well as the spirit of Seattle in its purest form, it also encapsulates what it means to be a young adult finding your foot in the world with humor and reverie. Yet, as always, I’ll have to concede that if you are either a child or have no soul, then this movie may be not for you. Harsh? Yes. Not harsh enough?
