No pressure but would you like to read about my never-forgotten memory of actress Diane Keaton?

That's one of the few that I chose to never see.  I'm not a Woody Allen fan.

LOL ... one more thing on which we don't agree. This post was edited by Spunky at October 15, 2025 10:55 AM MDT

Thanks for finding my sharing interesting.  :)

I recommend "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," too.

Sometimes details of comedy movies escape me but I know I've seen at least some of those you mentioned. I recommend "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," too. Definitely not a comedy. :)

After reading your cool-to-me answer, I wondered if you stayed awake through "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" in the theater. :)

Like I said up in my question, I find Rossner's book very good, too. :)     

I have to assume not; I have little memory of it but saw enough to close my eyes and go to sleep.  ;)

Thanks, Danilo_G.  :)

I was about 16 or 17 years old at the time when I was "Looking for Mr. Goodbar."

And the movie image you posted? Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. I recognized immediately my very favorite movie. :)

Director George Romero's original 1968 black-and-white "Night of the Living Dead."

I literally could go on for days on how that movie changed my life, and continues to do so to this very day - -  in all ways for the better.

To answer your question - - hey, allow me to go on forever, ha! -- - - When I was 12-years old, Mom, Dad and I were in a mall and I saw the novelization book of the movie in a book store. "Mom Dad! Can I please get this book?!"  (I based my strong interest solely on the book image/cover! I still adore the image! :




They allowed me t oget the book.
I read it and loved it. (By this time in life, Mom and Dad knew I loved horror and scary movies and books and I dealt with it all well. If I had fears about any of them, they knew I always came to them (or to my older brother and older sister) and talked about my fears. And the conversations ended up being wonderful-to-me, healthy conversation that helped me grow.

I even ended up reading aloud the book to some of my school classmates/friends in the backyard - - all of us sitting on the grass in a circle as I read. "Hey, we have to get home fast after school today - - 'WelbyQuentin' is reading the next chapter of "Night of the Living Dead"!

My older brother and older sister then read the book themselves, too.

A year later (I was 13) the movie came to our city at a drive-in theater -- possibly THE best movie to see at a drive-in! Late at night, outside, in a car, in the dark! Funny, too - - "Night of the Living Dead" was the THIRD movie of a TRIPLE feature that night at the theater. After two full-length films before it, It was probably after midnight before "Night of the Living Dead" even started.

Again, Dad took me to the movie - - along with my brother and sister -- and one of my friends and one of my sister's friends.

At one particularly terrifying moment in the film, I heard my brother swear for the first time in my life. He swore quietly. And repeatedly. Dad later said he was glad my brother swore because if my brother hadn't. my dad said he himself probably would at that point in the movie.

I STILL  have the "Good -n Plenty" candy box I bought at the drive in theater and I ate the candy while watching. In fact, I dated the candy box and wrote the date we saw the movie on the box. Along with the names of all of us who went.  The empty box is in my living room at this very moment. :)

During the movie, I very much remember Dad going to the concession stand fro treats for all of us. And, then, while walking back to our car, he continually and  purposely wobbled, shuffled like one of the living dead in the movie. We saw many people in their cars jump in fear when he passed their cars! So funny and memorable to me!


Anyway, over the years, as an adult, I've been several times to where they filmed much of the movie (Evans City, Pennsylvania, USA). I've met in-person four of the cast members. (Interestingly, one of the four I met is in your posted image - -  Charles Craig as the television news reporter. He was very nice and he signed one of my books I had with me that was related to the movie. And he talked with me a long time. He was very nice. I had reached out to him when I found out he worked just 30 minutes from my town. He invited me to come to his workplace and he talked with me in his workoffice after his work day.

This is just part of many memorable and wondrous-to-me  "night of the Living Dead"events over my life since I was 12 years old.

I recommend the movie to the entire world. :)
