Aside: "edge of my cliff"?? Well, Anna, I haven't seen any recent movies, but Duel was on late one night a while back--really late, around 3 a.m., and I watched it again. I remember watching it on TV when it first came out, and it kept me literally on the edge of my chair in my mother's kitchen. It wasn't until years later that I realized why: it was directed by Steven Spielberg. It was interesting, this time, in that some things, for ex. a silhouette against the sky, now seem clichéed--then I realized that he was setting a standard then that has been so copied since that I was reminded of the joke about the name-your-picked-on-person-type who saw a Shakespeare play and commented that it would have been better if the actors hadn't used so many clichés.

Also, some time back, I rented A Beautiful Mind; that performance has stayed with me like few others have.
