96. Paper Moon (#229)

Summary: Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode thrown in. This time, Peter Bogdonavich’s Paper Moon. Mose is a two-bit hustle who is passing through town in time to visit a funeral for an old flame. While there, the woman's young daughter is thrown into his care. Mose immediately denies paternity of the precocious and intelligent young Adie, but the pair quick gel as they embark upon a string of hustles across Depression-era America. At time of recording, it was ranked the 229th best movie of all-time on the Internet Movie Database.
