...Nexus.

When I first saw this film I thought, "Fred Ward as Henry Miller? Huh?" But then, I saw the film and changed my mind. Now, I can't imagine anyone else playing that role. I realize the movie was based on the diaries of Anais, but I would have loved to see a lot more of the relationship between Henry and June. That was one fucked up marriage, but it resulted in some of the most raw literature of the 20th century.
