Best in Show (3/11) Movie CLIP - We Met at Starbucks (2000) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Meg Swan (Parker Posey) and Hamilton Swan (Michael Hitchcock) recall the moment they met, at two different Starbucks locations across the street from each other.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
After parodying the idiosyncrasies of community theater devotees in the mock documentary Waiting for Guffman, actor/director Christopher Guest returns with another semi-improvised comedy that casts a satirical gaze on the world of championship dog breeding and training. A television crew is on hand to document the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show, and competition is fierce among the canine devotees vying for top honors. Salesman Gerry Fleck (Eugene Levy), who is cursed with two left feet (literally), and his wife Cookie (Catherine O'Hara) have entered their Norwich terrier "Winky" in competition. Wealthy and neurotic Meg Swan (Parker Posey) and her husband Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock) are on hand with their Weimaraner "Beatrice," who they fear may have been traumatized by watching them have sex. Scott Donlan (John Michael Higgins) and his life partner Stefan Vanderhoof (Michael McKean) have brought their beloved Shih Tzu, "Miss Agnes." Trophy wife Sherri Ann Cabot (Jennifer Coolidge) and her close friend and trainer Christy Cummings (Jane Lynch) are hoping for a repeat victory for Sheri's poodle, "Rhapsody In White." And Harlan Pepper (Guest), who operates a store specializing in fly-fishing gear, has decided to stack his bloodhound "Hubert" up against the competition. In addition to Guest, Levy, O'Hara, and Posey, several other veterans of the Waiting for Guffman cast also appear in Best in Show, including Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, and Lewis Arquette.

We are so lucky to have been raised amongst catalogues.

That line kills me every time. 🤣

[heathersue]

The adult braces...it's the perfect finishing touch.

[ostrovisky]

we are so lucky to have been raised amongst catalogues.

[jakelane]

This scene is everything. I have neighbors (both are attorneys) that don't have kids and just one dog. They act just like this, so great!

[raspa]

If my anti-depressant isn't working, "Best In Show" does the trick.

[patrickwayne]

I love seeing Parker -almost- break character by laughing, but then she incorporates it into the performance and follows it up with something completely hysterical. I was crying laughing at this scene when I first saw the movie

[i.l.l.l.l.]

They're simultaneously adorable and insufferable as a couple

[jasonseepie]

Nothing makes me laugh more than watching people's manic idiosyncrasies. Christopher Guest knows how to make the audience laugh!!!! The small touches as well, consider the close-up and head tilt from Parkey Posey, with her mouth full of metal. Makes me laugh out loud. BRILLIANT!!!! 

[gabrielalopetegui]

Michael Hitchcock was one of my teachers at The Groundlings. Great teacher and beautiful person.

[luisalvarez]

This movie was 20 years ahead of its time. People are still working on their Macs in Starbucks.

[saltyninja]

"We are so lucky to have been raised amongst catalogues....Oh it's so much easier, especially since you don't have to deal with people as much."

...These two were the original Amazon customers and now we're all like them.

[softshoes]

She says lactose intolerant like he has cancer. Fantastic.

[JohnHoulgate]

One of my favorite of their bits in this movie was when they would argue with each other like they were dogs barking.

[lflagr]

The sign of a well done scene—you completely forget these two are actors, you just accept them as real people

[timchildress]

They totally nailed the way some married people act around strangers: like they have to impress when in reality they have a lot of trouble, but are afraid to leave.

[tw]

One of the BEST comedies of ALL time! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Parker Posey is awesome!!!, but not just Parker ~ the ENTIRE cast!

[dixieflatline]

"Or not..." The two words that are the key to happiness in our times... such as it is.

[lflagr]

Her facial expressions at 1:46 get me every time lol

[dfa]

There is a corner in SF near Moscone Center that has a Starbucks and another one across the street. When I saw that, this scene came to mind. They were probably less than 100 feet from each other.

[calbassas]

Honestly I think these are my favorite characters in the movie. They’re in it less than the others but every time Hamilton and Meg are on screen it’s pure hilarity.
