  Did you also notice that I already put “The Grapes of Wrath” in the original question? Grrrrrrrr.

I very clearly remember being in early high school or so, and when "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" movie first came out in the theaters, the critical reviews for Diane Keaton were SO superlative, as the reviews for the movie itself.
I remember asking my dad to take me (it was rated 'R') so I could see the movie because I had never seen such glowing reviews. My parents knew I was very much into movies and he took me.

And Keaton, and the movie, held up to the accolades to me.

And then I wanted to read Judith Rossner's book after seeing the movie. And, wow -- that book is great to me. Both movie and book greatly affected me, too.
