A Few Words for Charade
Since I went and included the work in my recent Versus AFI Top 10 Romantic Comedies piece, I thought a few words for one film was warranted. Though I never saw it in a movie theater setting (something I regret to this very day), the film remains one of my all-time favorites, and an annual screening in our household. It is Stanley Donen’s still highly underrated Charade.

TMT: Graduating with Honors… and Attitude
This is the next entry in a Theatre… a Movie… and a Time, a series that was begun here. The primary reason for this one is I’ve yet to finish the significant movies from my youth. That and the fact that three articles, two from Dan’s blog, today’s Movies That Everyone Should See and a Tossin’ It Out There: What Movie Reminds YOU of Your “Younger Days”? from awhile back, where my particular comment coincided with the film highlighted days later by Trailers From Hell, brought it all back to the forefront.
