The Mating Season (1951)

by Mitchell Leisen

This was an enjoyable, cute movie featuring a good performance by one of my favorite actresses, Thelma Ritter (probably best known to modern audiences as Jimmy Stewart’s nurse in “Rear Window”).

United 93 (Full Screen Edition)

I thought this movie was riveting and heart-breaking.

Watching this film was like having someone poke a knife into an open wound.
