I did this even though Id been up til 4 a.m. the night before writing about theTop Modelseason finale.
Even though I knew my DVR wasnt gonna be recordingThe OfficeandUgly Bettybecause its out of space.
Even though Slezak was totally serious about us going out to find a mojito to drown hisWomens-Murder-Club-got-canceled blues in.

And Im so glad I did.
It renewed my faith in the movie-going experience.
There was just the shared giggles overDavid Carusos uncharacteristically enthusiastic presence.
(I knew there was something about that guy!)
The universal round of applause when the late, great Richard Crenna madehis entrance as Col. Samuel Trautman.
(God didnt make Rambo…
I made im.)
And the mass marvel atthe ballad Its a Long Road playing over the end credits.
Which movie would you love to see back in theaters, for one night only?
I still dream of watching the 1948 Montgomery Clift-John Wayne westernRed Riverat a drive-in.
Also, if youve got a theater in your town that plays older films, give it a plug.
