Edson won a Pulitzer for the play, the only one she’s written. Emma Thompson is very impressive in the film version.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Twice. First film I can remember seeing in theaters, at the age of seven.

The Matrix
Two days in a row. Was exhausted the first time I saw it and fell asleep. Went back the next day because everything I was awake for was amazing.

X-Men
The most recent film I’ve seen at a drive-in. That drive-in, The Big Mo in Monetta, SC, is still there 23 years later.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The Matrix
X-Men
Alien
I saw it in it’s first run, when Sigourney Weaver was a complete unknown. So I was absolutely on the edge of my seat, heart in my mouth, etc., when she’s walking around the ship, getting ready to launch the pod. There was just no way she was going to live when all those famous people had died.
But she was so tough, and determined-- My Gawd-- how I wanted her to make it!

American Graffiti
Went to see it with a girl on a date back in the day … forty-odd years later and I can’t even remember her name – which is odd, since I went on so few dates they should stick out in my mind like sore thumbs…
