Little Miss Sunshine-This movie made me laugh...and cry.
The Royal Tenenbaums-Wes Anderson's classic tale of family dysfunction!
Parenthood-This movie should be mandatory viewing for all parents. The kid that bangs his head on the wall? Classic.
Garden State-This movie offers the best of human nature and the worst.
Home for the Holidays-This mid 90's flick with Holly Hunter is not to be missed!
I know I've missed some good movies! Tell me some of your faves for dysfunctional family movies!

I loved all of those movies - another great dysfuntional family movie is, What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis and Leonardo Dicaprio!
Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story are classics! I can't believe I didn't put these on the list. My brain is full. After Turkey Day I will have the DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY HOLIDAY MOVIE List! Clearly there are lots of us!
The Ref - with Denis Leary.
Quoting:" The one with Denis Leary playing a chased-by-the-cops crook of some sort who ends up in the home of THE most dysfunctional family ever, whom he takes hostage but is driven to extreme frustration by the family's constant bickering. It has Judy Davis and Kevin Spacey among many others. Drives me crazy I can't remember the name...
