It's one of Robin Williams' darker/serious films and he plays this guy who works the one hour photo at a Walmart-like store. He ends up stalking this family who takes their photos there all the time. It's downright creepy -- but the film is great. The way color is used in the film and Williams' acting is superb. I do recommend it but thank god for digital cameras!! I saw that movie. I forget how it all ends, but I remember he stalked the family and was fascinated by the little boy, not in a pedophile way, if I recall correctly

Holds a gun to their head and has them pose for photos. SO messed up!!

I'd like to see Robin Williams do more of that type of stuff.   I think it was a big ass knife he had with him in the room though...not a gun.

OK, I know its not a film but I've got to give a mention to the episode 'The Body' from Season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - the one where her mother dies. I don't think I've seen so much emnotion packed into 45 minutes, nor such intense performances.
