Holiday (1938)
A brilliant film, unfortunately overlooked.
Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant give inspired performances in this witty romantic comedy with a touch of pathos. The script just bristles with wit from beginning to end. They don't write pictures like this anymore. While not generally regarded as one of Hepburn's best films by critics, I strongly disagree with this assessment. She's as witty and intense as ever in the role of Linda. A part she seemed made to play. All around excellent supporting cast, and direction. A must-see!
Light of Day (1987)
Excellent Emotional Drama
This film is notable for two reasons: The excellent writing, and the amazing acting performances of Joan Jett (surprise - this woman can ACT!), and Michael J. Fox.
Mature, heart-wrentching emotional drama centered on the trials of a dysfunctional family headed by matriarch Gena Rowlands - who also gives a stellar performance. Jett should have been nominated for an Oscar for her performance - particularly the scenes with her dying mother. An insightful, brutally honest script coupled with exceptional acting produces a film of unusual emotional power. Very moving and thought-provoking. A must-see, and definitely one of the best films of the 1980s.
