Meatballs
Not that the 1979 Bill Murray vehicle Meatballs benefits much from being in hi-def, but I DVR'd it and watched it this afternoon, and damn if it isn't still a charming little slobs vs. snobs/coming of age comedy. There's a gentleness there that's absent from most teen comedies, and Murray is very funny in his post-SNL grubby lounge lizard glory. The clothes are an added bonus--the short shorts on girls AND guys, the too-tight shirts, the lack of bras, and Jesus, women really wore thigh high, striped socks back then, huh? I wish American Apparel was successful in their attempts to bring that back, because it’s pretty hot.
