He's an advertising man now...very wealthy
- DirectorAlexander PayneStarsMatthew BroderickReese WitherspoonLoren NelsonA high school teacher meets his match in an over-achieving student politician.Reese Witherspoon's Tracy is someone I've met personally. Really terrifying.
- DirectorMartin DonovanStarsHart BochnerColin FirthDora BryanIn early 1980s Buenos Aires, a struggling movie theater owner takes in a roommate but suspects he is responsible for a series of political assassinations.Colin Firth's character seems to be extreme and yet I know at least 2 people who are exactly like trhat. One of them a childhood friend of mine. Very chilling really.
- DirectorLewis John CarlinoStarsRobert DuvallBlythe DannerMichael O'KeefeAs he approaches manhood, Ben Meechum struggles to win the approval of his demanding alpha male father, an aggressively competitive, but frustrated Marine pilot.Roberrt Duvall's character is just like the father of a close chilhood friend of mine. I spent a summer with them when I was 9 and it made me think I was really lucky with my laid back dad.
- DirectorCharles WaltersStarsDoris DayDavid NivenJanis PaigeDrama professor turned theater critic balances his home life and career when he moves to the country with his wife and their four sons.Doris Day's character is my mother's younger sister. Spot on. Always getting dressed surrounded by her 4 boys. Every time I see the film on TCM I laugh out loud. It's perfection.
