8/4- THE HEARTBREAK KID by Elaine May (1972)
Elaine May's second film, THE HEARTBREAK KID was also her most successful
comedy. Reminiscent of her old partner Mike Nichols's THE GRADUATE, THE
HEARTBREAK KID deals with themes of misguided choices, the idea of true
love, and how lust colors both−all with the unique comic spin
created by May and screenwriter and playwright Neil Simon. Charles Grodin
is his fumbling, bumbling best as Lenny. When he meets pretty Lila (Jeannie
Berlin, May's real-life daughter) in a bar, their quick courtship leads
to marriage. However, on their drive south to their Miami honeymoon, Lenny's
having second thoughts by the time they get to Virginia. When they get
to Florida, Lila's quirks are driving him crazy. Lila is trapped in their
room after she gets a fierce sunburn their first day; newly liberated,
Lenny meets beautiful coed Kelly (Cybill Shepherd). The glamorous, blonde
Kelly is everything Lila isn't and everything Lenny has decided he wants.
When Lenny's surreptitious meetings with Kelly blossom into more than
he planned for, he is forced to choose whether he wants to have his cake,
eat it...or maybe try the pecan pie. May's legendary vision and her perfectionism
create a funny, touching, and fast-paced film classic.
8/11- American Graffiti
AMERICAN GRAFFITI by George Lucas (1973)
AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of
maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K... Based on George Lucas's
own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet
comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running
TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138),
AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford,
who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic
STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently
graduated high school students. The genial Steve (Ron Howard)prepares
to leave for college the next day, and Laurie (Cindy Williams), his girlfriend,
is upset by his impending departure. Laurie's brother, Curt (Richard Dreyfuss),
the class intellectual, is also slated for college, but he has serious
doubts about his future. Also included here are the hopeless nerd (Charles
Martin Smith) and the eternally cool drag racer, John (Paul LeMat), who
feels pressure to live up to his reputation. A nostalgic feeling is evoked
in seeing the teenagers cruising in their hot rods, eating at Mel's Diner,
and listening to Wolfman Jack spin the latest hits, with the camera jumping
from character to character as they each enjoy or fret over their last
moments of summer freedom.

Bus Stop ::
In the midst of a blizzard,
a busload of fascinating characters is stranded at a roadside diner. Cherie,
a nightclub singer has been kidnapped by a cowboy with a ranch of his
own and questionable romantic methods. While this relationship plays itself
out, the owner of the café and the bus driver develop a friendship,
a middle-aged scholar discovers himself and the young waitress has a taste
of romance. A heart-warming comedy set in America's heartland.

Resident Alien ::
A sweet and quirky comedy filled
with snappy dialogue about a family and their encounter with an alien.
Aliens have abducted Billy, Michael and Priscilla's twelve-year-old son,
so that they might do some tests. Priscilla and her new husband Ray don't
believe a word of what Michael tells them, thinking he is pulling a custody-battle-type
stunt. Little do they know that an alien from the mother ship has decided
to spend some vacation time on this planet, staying at Michael's farmhouse.
Throughout the surprising and funny scenes, The Alien reveals a number
of insights about the culture, intelligence and diversity of the inhabitants
of Earth.
