My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)

This '80s romantic comedy from Susan Seidelman breaks all the rules in a fun and charming way.  Mostly known for co-staring Madonna as the free-spirited but tough title character, it's Rosanna Arquette as the curious house wife who forgets her identity that's the real soul of the film.  Amnesia is kind of a silly premise but here it's set up just right.  As a classic of the '80s this one still holds up and is worth checking out.  Grade: B+
