The Hotel New Hampshire (1984)

Plot: Mr. Win Berry Berry tries to run rural small town Dairy's high-school and his sassy family. The troubles of his sons Frank, a gay bullied by team idolized football captain Chip Dove, horny athlete John and 'Egg', so called after his growth-stopping syndrome, and daughters, inspire him to try running a hotel instead. After more problems, they accept a shady offer to run a Viennese hotel, but that proves a run-down rat-hole and terrorist layer, where disaster lays in waiting. Offspring talents also open positive avenues, which also prove mixed blessing.

Alternative Plot: Based on the novel by John Irving, this unusual comedic drama follows the exploits of the eccentric hotel-operating Berry family. While there are many strange dynamics between the various members of the Berry clan, arguably the most unconventional is the almost incestuous relationship that young, handsome John (Rob Lowe) has with his pretty sister, Franny (Jodie Foster). As the patriarch, Win (Beau Bridges), tries to keep his family together, unexpected events occur, changing them all forever.
