The retinue of great artists and writers in early twentieth century Paris got a bit tiresome after a while; and only Hemingway had the right mix of caricature and believability. I'd place Vicky Cristina Barcelona a bit above Midnight; and Match Point as well. None of these approach his best stuff from Annie Hall through Manhattan to Husbands and Wives, though.Girish Shahanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877402074547726173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-13572293476957343092011-10-14T14:19:52.074+05:302011-10-14T14:19:52.074+05:30Girish

And about everyone I know wanted to become an astronaut at some point or the other. <br /><br />Do kids still feel like that or was it something special to the 60s, 70s and 80s.
