Jonathan Rosenbaum, one of America's most gifted film critics, began his moviegoing in the 1950s in small-town Alabama, where his family owned and managed a chain of theaters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting in the Deep South of his boyhood, Rosenbaum leads us through a series of \"screen memories,\" making us aware of movies as markers of the past-when and where we saw them, with whom, and what we did afterward. The mood swings easily from sensual and poignant regret to screwball exuberance, punctuated along the way by a tribute to the glamorous Grace Kelly of \u003ci\u003eRear Window\u003c\/i\u003e, a meditation on \u003ci\u003eThe Rocky Horror Picture Show\u003c\/i\u003e and its improbable audience-community, and an extended riff on Rosenbaum's encounters with \u003ci\u003eOn Moonlight Bay\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1980, \u003ci\u003eMoving Places\u003c\/i\u003e is reissued now both as a companion volume to the author's latest book and as a means of introducing a new generation of film buffs to this unique, often humorous exploration of one man's life at the movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would number \u003ci\u003eMoving Places\u003c\/i\u003e among a handful of truly classic books about film.--James Naremore, author of \u003ci\u003eActing in the Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Rosenbaum\u003c\/b\u003e, film critic at the \u003ci\u003eChicago Reader\u003c\/i\u003e, is author of \u003ci\u003eGreed\u003c\/i\u003e (1993) and \u003ci\u003eFilm: The Front Line 1983.\u003c\/i\u003e He is also co-author, with J.
