From Randy M.:
I love FLICKIPEDIA! And sure, my family is always looking for new movies to watch that go with the season, like a good wine. Your "Opening Day" section is terrific, but here's a few you missed, recently on TCM: the Ring Lardner baseball comedies starring Joe E. Brown, Alibi Ike and Elmer the Great. Both use the Chicago Cubs of the day!
Us: Good catch! The real players in those movies aren't just Cubs, but Browns, Dodgers, etc.; the cast list on IMDB includes Jim Thorpe, Bob Meusel and Cedric Durst! And they're funny.
From Gina Esposito:

Us: Certainly a good prime for dining out... But more "French" than French, right?
From Daniella:
Love the gray British movies from the 60s in the fall -- The Pumpkin Eater is a great one. And Room at the Top.
From F.P.A.:
A terrific baseball movie Flickipedia has overlooked: A League of Her Own! Or is it left out for reasons of your own?
Us: It's a salient point -- we did leave out A League of Her Own for our own, largely critical reasons. Our book could only touch on what we saw as the imperative choices for each occasion. But in the dialogue here, anything can happen, and any devotion can be exhalted. If only we could be sold on the notion that A League of Her Own deserves a reevaluation...
