Jim selected and introduced the films in the evening movie series at the Saugatuck-Douglas District Library from 2007 through 2014. Here are his introductions:
Some movies I didn't write introductions for --
Casablanca (how can you say anything more about this movie, which everyone knows so well?)
Moonstruck (introduced by my sister, Dee Dee Hanson, who has thought about and discussed all of its aspects -- it is her favorite movie)
It Happened One Night (I read a poem that night -- Frank O'Hara's "To the Film Industry in Crisis"), and
Double Wedding (I read Thomas Pynchon's song "Just Like a William Powell" from his novel Vineland).
and some other pieces about movies:
