"A number of our blogging friends have picked up the Alphabetical Favorites meme. The idea is that you list 26 favorite movies, one for each letter of the alphabet. Some people are adding comments, but I think it’s more interesting to just toss the titles out there, to see how they fit together within a single list and how they match up to other lists. Also, it’s been a hell of a week and I’m exhausted. I will say this: after not being able to think of a single movie beginning with the letter “J” that I enjoy more than Joe Versus the Volcano, I noticed that several commenters at the House Next Door had slotted the same film in the same face. So much for Todd McCarthy’s contention in his Doubt review that John Patrick Shanley’s first directorial effort was “misguided.” So! My list is after the jump. < "

"Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant star in this absolutely fantastic thriller that'll keep you wondering until the very end. Extremely Hitchcock-ian in it's plot twists and thrills (and humorous interjections), I cannot recommend this one enough. One of the first films I bought on DVD years ago, I still watch it every few months to keep it fresh in my memory. Please, please avoid the flaccid remake The Truth About Charlie (with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton) as it is a veritable slap in the face to the original; Jonathan Demme should be ashamed...what were they thinking? A pleasant end to a rainy Sunday. "

"Charade (1963) is a Hollywood classic starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, with several other famous actors in supporting roles. In a nut shell, Audrey’s murdered husband turns out to have been part of a criminal group in 1944, the guys are coming after the money, and Audrey does not know what is truth and what is lies. Henri Mancini provides some excellent music, the photography often provides an atmospheric sense of Paris, and there are a couple of witty jokes. The movie is dated, and this is both good and bad. It is good because it evokes the early 1960s so well--the artistic swirls on the movie poster, the colourful credits, and so forth. It is bad because some of the acting by the gang members is so bad, so stereotypical, so over-the-top. This movie treads a fine line. The first time I saw it a couple of years ago, the stilted acting and phony romance put me off. But when I watched it in a more hopeful mood this week, I really enjoyed the goofiness and the lighthearte ... "

"Deceived is a dreary thriller in the day when washed out thrillers were a Hollywood standard- The 90's are all about the thriller. The movie never became popular. People argue that audiences did not want to see the gloriously mis-cast Hawn in something serious; it could be said that her character was too trusting too naive. Frankly I think she did a good job at suspending disbelief (acting dumb) until the plot demands, and no matter what anyone says, Hawn back in the day was exceedingly watchable. Leave it to Hollywood to let a variable like the lead actress take the blame for the entire picture tanking. What I find odd though now, looking back on the movie Deceived is my unrelenting sense of deja vu which had me thinking that I may have seen this movie's plot in play before. That's when it hit me. Deceived is basically a variation (and consequently un-funny version) of Outrageous Fortune. A loved one dies, pretending to be someone he is not, is involved in something that ... "
