Waterhorse: Surprise: it didn't suck. Great costumes and scenery: a castle by a Scottish loch. Classic tale about a boy and his secret pet that the grown-ups all consider to be a monster. Saw it on the big screen today with my fidgety boys.
Arsenic and Old Lace: clever script and great physical comedy. Franz Capra and Cary Grant, 1944. I think Michael Richards took some of Cary Grant's interpretation of Mortimer Brewster for his Kramer character. A scrumptious Halloween treat. A spooky, Karloff-esque character, some Irish cops, some sweet old Brooklyn sisters. Nothing like seeing a beautiful blond in a graveyard with the Brooklyn bridge in the background, streetcars rolling behind her and leaves falling all around. In classic black and white.
Long live the weeds...
