#93 The Apartment

M: Fun, entertaining movie with a good mixture of comedy and light-hearted drama. Jack Lemon was great.

M's rating:

J: Honestly, as soon as I saw the name Fred MacMurray, I was in.  I'll watch pretty much anything with Fred MacMurry in it.  But Fred MacMurray or no, this movie was a lot of fun.  I loved Mr. Sheldrake's Christmas gift to Miss Kubelik.  This movie is a definite recommend.  Classic comedy, great cast.  And did I mention Fred MacMurray?

#99 (1998): Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

M: Edgy, I'm sure, for it's time. I was enthralled to see how, back then, interracial coupling was such a sensitive topic--in the days when one was either "colored" or a "negro" rather than "black" or "African-American". It was great to see such powerhouses of acting together in a film, that being Hepburn, Tracy, and of course Poitier. A must-see movie.

M's rating:






J: I don't know much about older actors, but I know enough to understand that Spencer Tracy + Katharine Hepburn + Sidney Poitier is going to equal gold on film. I loved this movie, enough that I would watch it again and highly recommend it. It was interesting that these parents raised their daughter to be colorblind. That's not a side of things you often see in movies from the 60s and before.
