Your inter alia includes Chilly Scenes of Winter (AKA Head Over Heels)
which, for some reason, I rather like (it probably helps that Mary Beth Hurt
is one of those perceived "brainy" 70s actresses I had a crush on, a list
which included Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Mary Steenburgen, Jessica Harper
and--be still my heart!--Jane Alexander).
