I have fond memories of Matinee but haven't rewatched it since it was in the theater. I should.
It struck me as a movie that holds up. It would have gotten a review of its own if it hadn't been part of a marathon.
It's not my favorite John Sayles movie but would have made that distinction from almost any other director. I love John Sayles so much. I love that movie so much.
I truly don't know if it or The Secret of Roan Inish (1994) was my introduction to his work. Both left impressions.
(Also I love two of his novels, A Moment in the Sun and Yellow Earth and am always trying to get people to read them, but A Moment in the Sun is such a large commitment that I usually fail at this.)
I have never read any of his novels! I feel they must never have turned up in used book stores or I would have bought them on principle. Do you mind if I ask what you love about those two?
