The Bear (1988)

Every time I travel through California, I pay special attention when I see Bear Crossing signs in the hopes of seeing a bear. I have yet to see a single wild bear this way. While maybe not as narratively satisfying, I could have done with 100% less humans in this story. There was a lot more dialogue in the film than I was lead to believe because of all the people. I welcome a sweet found family story. I felt guilty having to root against the puppies in one scene, but bears are cute.

Oscar Nomination: Best Film Editing
