'Benny & Joon': Tribute to June & The Power of Love [View all]



Highlights & the Best of Johnny Depp as 'Sam' including the humorous scene, 'Dance of the Rolls' made famous by Charlie Chaplin in 'The Gold Rush' (1925). 'Benny & June's' tender love story, comedy and performances made it a 'sleeper hit' when released in 1993.

- Benny & Joon is a romantic comedy film about how two eccentric individuals, Sam (Johnny Depp) and Juniper "Joon" (Mary Stuart Masterson), find each other and fall in love. Aidan Quinn also stars as Benny, Joon's brother. The film was directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik.
The film is perhaps best known for Depp's talented physical comedy routines (which are based on memorable silent film comics Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin & Harold Lloyd)..
