Diner

Barry Levinson directed this 1982 comedy/drama about a group of friends coping with responsibilities and adulthood.

Great dialogue and good story...part of Levinson's group of films centered in Baltimore. Outstanding cast includes Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Paul Reiser, Ellen Barkin, Steve Guttenberg, and Tim Daly.

Has a lot of heart...and humor. Love the scenes in the diner (natch) and the sports test a fiance has to take before she is considered worthy of marriage.

I'll have some gravy on those fries.

Captain Newman, M.D.

1963 film directed by David Miller stars Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis, Angie Dickinson, and Bobby Darin.

Comedy/drama about a psychiatrist treating military personnel at an air base here in the U.S. during World War Two. Afflictions range from the silly to the intense. Eddie Albert shines as a mentally ill officer, Robert Duvall is notable, but the scene stealer is singer Bobby Darin as a corporal who relives his most traumatic combat experience.

It will make you laugh, it will make you cry (maybe) but certainly worth a peek.
