I went to "Rear Window" at the Grand on Friday. It was GREAT!!! Not only a phenomenal movie (that this classics lover had never seen), but a small, intimate setting that was pretty much sold out (I think there was one empty seat). It was a great mix of folks...including about 10 teens who seemed to be enjoying the film not just putting up with it for homework.

I'd love to see more of the classics play in town...maybe once a week or something...6 a year is just too few!
