Obviously it's because Greeks are the best at everything, and everyone else just copies them. So it's Greek, has sexual perversion, has reality distorting control freaks, therefore best RI movie ever. Although as I told Jack before I think to be the best RI movie ever it would have to have actual sex with children as part of the movie. I know the children in this one are kind of child-like, but I don't think that counts.
I can't really suggest a best movie for this place, but the movie that most reminds me of RI is Happiness.
Storyline
When a young woman rejects her current overweight suitor in a restaurant, he unexpectedly places a curse on her. The film then moves on to her sisters. One is a happily married woman with a psychiatrist husband and three kids. Unfortunately the husband develops an unnatural fascination for his 11 year old son's male classmates, fantasizes about mass killing in a park, and masturbates to teen magazines. One of his patients has an unrequited fascination for the third sister. Meanwhile the apparently stable 40 year marriage of the sister's parents suddenly unravels when he decides he has had enough and wants to live a hermit's life in Florida. Obviously, the whole movie is slightly warped in its viewpoint and certainly presents abnormal relationships among all of its parties.
