Is American Politics still the same as All The King's Men?

On the Waterfront has Class

On this beautiful May evening, the gang welcomes special guests Tom and Kate Archdeacon to discuss 1954 best picture On the Waterfront. There wasn't much disagreement this week on how great this movie performed. Brando's performance was spectacular as were many other actor's efforts in this worthy film. A summer meal of hot dogs and cheeseburgers was yummy but the company made the evening delightful. Grab a seat and join for a listen. #DinnerwithDan

From Here to Wroe Avenue

Tonight on Dinner with Dan, the gang has a Hawaiian Feast made by Kate to celebrate From Here to Eternity. From roasted pork to pineapple upside down cake to spam as an appetizer--we never seem to let a theme go to waste on Sunday evening.   Poor Dan has to defend the movie again under some scrutiny from his dinner guests. But all enjoyed discussing 1953's Best Picture From Here to Eternity. We hope you will join us. #DinnerwithDan

Under the Big Top

The Gang celebrated Mother's Day together by eating circus food and discussing 1952 Best Picture winner the Greatest Show on Earth.  While Dan loved the movie the rest of the table had some choice words about this three ring circus! So grab some popcorn, sit back and listen to your friends enjoy each other's company talk about clowns, elephants and if there is anything redeemable about Charlton Heston! #DinnerwithDan

An American in Paris is S'Wonderful

We come in all color with the 1951 Best Picture An American In Paris.  The gang enjoys a yummy French meal while discussing Gershwin's musical.  Dan regales us with some great movie history and everyone seems to agree this movie did new things we had yet to see in film.  Before the show, Sam and Diya even get to take a ride up Dan's new elevator--something we hope makes Dan's life on Wroe much easier. So, pull up a glass of nice French wine and join in on the discussion, because Paris is always a good idea. #DinnerwithDan

Fasten your seatbelts...I am ready for my close up!?

As spring settles into Wroe Avenue, the gang really enjoyed talking about the 1950 best picture All About Eve.  There was great acting with a terrific story--and most of the table had not seen this Academy Award winning picture. Many at the table were ready to fight for Sunset Boulevard's honor--but that was before they watched Bette Davis as Margo Channing.  A great movie and excellent conversation tonight on Dinner with Dan.  Pull up a chair and join us! #DinnerwithDan
