Movies for the Day, Sunday, October 22, 2017

Today's movies mark the birthday of Annette Funicello, a world's end day, and International Stuttering Awareness Day.




Beach Blanket Bingo (1965), the fourth of the
series starring Annette Funicello and Frankie
Avalaon, combines teenagers, the beach, skydiving,
comedy, music, and romance.  Funicello was
born October 22, 1942.

The Quiet Earth (1985) is an end of the
world saga, especially about a man who finds
himself alone but then finds two others.
This science fiction movie seems appropriate
for the date the world was predicted to
end by William Miller- October 22, but
in 1844.  He founded Millerism.

Stutterer (2015) is about a lonely typographer
who struggles to overcome his severe speech
impediment while attempting to form a
romantic relationship.  The film is only 12
minutes long and won an Oscar for Live Action
Short Film.  Today is International
Stuttering Awareness Day.
