Any o' you varmints gonna fess up to likin' this here hankey-fest, girlie flick like me?

HE MAN Chrisisall

Not just a girlie film it's a guy film too! True story: I started dating a guy in college who loved the movie and said I had to see it. I liked it. Spring break we spend in NYC and what show is playing Off-Broadway? One staring Christopher Reaves....best thing I have ever seen him do. Then guess who we pass on the street after the show, Christopher Reaves....then we go to Sardees (sp?) for supper, who's picture do we sit under? Christopher Reaves.

I'm beginning to freak-out feeling like this must be some sign.......

Fortunately, I came to my senses and didn't marry the guy. But it sure made for one really special weekend in NYC!

If that play you saw was The Fifth Of July, I saw it too, that same year! How much of a coincidence is that? Saw Mr. Reeve after the play, too. Backstage- told him he was great in it.
Small 'Verse, ain't it?

I'm trying to remember but I believe it was: "The Marriage of Figaro (sp?)" It was a period farce. He really showed off his Julliard training!

By the way, I love Forth of July! Great show!

I missed that one. It's nice that so many will remember him. His last movie was Village Of The Damned. He was pretty good in it, but Bostonians was a jewel in his crown of acting.

Good night Chrisisall

I might get booed right out of the thread, but I thought that I would mention three Christopher Reeve performances that I really, really liked.

1. Deathtrap - Yeah, I know, I know, and I'm not going to say too much here. But, I really enjoyed this movie as well as how Michael Caine and Reeve played off each other. (Oh come on! Get your head out of the gutter!)

2. Noises Off - What a cast, and what a movie. I know it gets overlooked a lot, and John Ritter was doing everything but actually eating the set to get attention, but I thought Reeve's performance was low key, given the type of movie it was, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. There's one scene when he's walked out on stage, obviously in the wrong place, and John Ritter and Nicollette Sheridan are playing their scene, and Reeve's FROZEN to the spot. Then he mumbles :"Sorry", and wanders off. That cracks me up everytime!

3. The Remains of the Day - Yes, I, like most other people who watched the movie, came to the end of it, and said "Why doesn't he just tell HER!" But, we're talking about Christopher Reeve, who, in this film, plays a patriotic american, and does it quite well. He's barely in the film, but he's magnetic in the small part he plays! Oh, and the rest of the film ain't bad either. Just don't look for too much resolution.

There's three...Highly recommend Deathtrap, because you can find it at Wal-Mart on DVD in the 5$ bin. I'm sure the other two are available on DVD somewhere, but I haven't seen them about. I know HBO shows the HELL out of Noises Off, and its worth watching, if for nothing else Michael Caine's line "It's like the band playing on as the Titanic sank!" Actually, its strange to see a film where everyone's overacting on purpose, and Michael Caine comes in, and basically takes the movie from them.
