(ORIGINAL) The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • September 18 - 24, 2022 BEST NEIL SIMON MOVIES "After the Fox" (1966) This Simon-written vehicle for Peter Sellers casts the actor as a master-of- disguise crook who escapes from prison and poses as a movie director to steal a shipment of gold; co-stars included Britt Ekland, then Sellers' wife. "Barefoot in the Park" (1967) Jane Fonda and Robert Redford had their second of several screen teamings in Simon's tale of newlyweds whose first apartment together challenges their temperamental differences. "The Odd Couple" (1968) Not only did Simon score an out-of-the-park movie hit with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau's pairing as mismatched roommates Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison, it has fueled several television versions, including the 1970s Tony Randall-Jack Klugman classic. "The Out-of-Towners" (1970) In a story Simon wrote directly for the screen (remade in 1999), Lemmon and Sandy Dennis play an Ohio couple experiencing just about every mishap a traveler can encounter in New York. "Plaza Suite" (1971) Simon's frequent movie muse, Matthau has the central male role in each of the three stories set at different times in the same suite at New York's Plaza Hotel; Maureen Stapleton, Barbara Harris and Lee Grant are his leading ladies. "The Heartbreak Kid" (1972) The tale was adapted for a 2007 remake, but Simon's imprint is much more on the original version, casting Charles Grodin as a newlywed who falls for another woman (Cybill Shepherd) while he's on his honeymoon. "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" (1975) Jack Lemmon and Anne Bancroft are terrific as a couple thrust into the writer's "Out-of-Towners" syndrome as New Yorkers plagued by nearly every problem the city can throw at them. "The Sunshine Boys" (1975) George Burns became a late-in-life Oscar winner for teaming memorably with Walter Matthau as embittered ex- vaudeville partners maneuvered into a reunion. Turner Classic Movies shows the film Saturday, Sept. 24. "The Goodbye Girl" (1977) Marsha Mason received a strong screen role from her then-husband Simon, but it was Richard Dreyfuss who won an Oscar for the film, portraying a struggling actor thrown by circumstance into sharing a New York apartment with a single mom (Mason) and her wise- beyond-her-years daughter (Quinn Cummings). "Chapter Two" (1979) Veteran playwright Simon's own life was very much a part of this comedy-drama, a thinly disguised account of his own second marriage ... with Marsha Mason essentially playing herself as the story's female lead. "Seems Like Old Times" (1980) Reunited after their success in "Foul Play," Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase star as ex-spouses, a public defender and the alleged criminal she tries to help while he's on the run. "Biloxi Blues" (1988) Under Mike Nichols' direction, this middle chapter in Simon's trilogy about the character Eugene Jerome features excellent performances by Matthew Broderick as then-soldier Eugene and Christopher Walken as his colorful sergeant.
