Why watch this film?

"As Good As It Gets" is a romantic comedy that breaks away from the standard formula. Additionally, the story deals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in an unexpected way. Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt both won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively for their work in the movie -- making it even more memorable. This is a great representative of mid-90s cinema.
