Desperately Seeking Susan
A great story helps carry this career-launching slice of 80s New York cool briskly along.
Halliwell says: Mildly diverting romantic mystery which could have been both funnier and more thrilling.*

The Princess Bride
Witty, totally enjoyable fairy tale romp, with Homeland's Saul sans beard. Modern classic.
Halliwell says: Rather strained fantasy with occasional bright moments.*

Foul Play
Chevy almost plays it straight in this late 70s comedy-thriller, while Goldie Hawn does the screwball.
Halliwell says: Sometimes sprightly, sometimes tired rehash of Hitchcock elements, rather on the level of the similar Silver Streak.*
