Thank You for Smoking: 2005, 93min, Rotten Tomatoes 86%, On Amazon & others streaming services
Continuing with director Jason Reitman (JunoUp in the Air), here’s a satirical, cynical comedy about tobacco companies’ leading lobbyist (Aaron Eckhart), who can spin the worst scenario into an advantageous argument. Twenty years ago, the film was a hilarious satire. Is it still funny? Or uncomfortably real? Either way, it’s a smart, quick, well acted film. Also with  JK Simmons, William Macy, Katie Holmes, Sam Elliot, Rob Lowe.
