Girl, I could be here all day
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Because books.
Wasn't there a later version of Goodby Mr. Chips? After the 1939 one?

I announced the Affleck news to Hec and Emmett, and then all three of us stomped around imitating the angry old woman from The Princess Bride: BOOOOO! BOOOO! BATMAN OF GARBAGE!
Two thumbs down to Affleck, two thumbs up to Chez Zmayhem.
Y'all I really liked "The World's End."
Excellent! I'm really looking forward to this one.
Anyone want to chime in with beloved movies for back-to-school?
Movies about school? Man, there have got to be thousands. Pretty much the entire John Hughes oeuvre, for one.

I think I have a good combination of funny and inspiring. Thanks, all!

Always Anti-fascist!
"A lot could happen over a year...you might come back next fall a completely normal person." Can't really see Affleck as Batman, but I haven't liked comic movies for a long time, either.(Hands over Buffista card) I didn't even share in the collective Avengers Geek-gasm...it was all right.

they're doing The Dark Knight Returns.
No, they're not. They may quote a line or two from it.
But more importantly, it's a Zach Snyder-directed sequel to Man of Steel in which Batman and Superman are going to fight Avengefully in the hopes of setting up an even less-inspired Justice League movie. I cannot imagine how Affleck could have the slightest effect on the quality of this project.
beloved movies for back-to-school?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Back to school movies: Up the Down Staircase, although the book is better.
Does it have to be good? Because The Affairs of Dobie Gillis is pretty silly, but it starts at the beginning of his freshman year. Maybe Harold Lloyd's The Freshman would be better, because Harold Lloyd.
And Good News is entertaining, plus you get to look at the young Peter Lawford.
And nobody has mentioned Grease?
