The Stranger Suggests
film
'Man on Wire'
This magnificent documentary is about Philippe Petit, the charming, crazy French person who, in August of 1974, strung a cable between the two towers of the World Trade Center and walked and knelt and lay supine on his tightrope for 45 breathtaking minutes. Told through new interviews (Petit: "These twin towers are trotting in my head!"), archival footage, and elegant black-and-white reenactments, Man on Wire is 80 minutes of white-knuckled suspense followed by a surprisingly emotional climax. (See movie times, www.thestranger.com, for details.)

That movie is great! Go see it! Also great, and pretty much ignored by SLOG, was "A Man Named Pearl".
This was a great movie.
Probably not as great as The Muppet Movie, but maybe I'll go see it.
After I see Nashville and Band of Outsiders one more time...
