Odd Couple 2 (Dir. Howard Deutch) (1998): The times may have changed but thankfully the traits remain that make ex-roomies Felix Ungar (Lemmon) and Oscar Madison (Matthau) the all-time perfect mismatch. Oscar is still an uncompromising slob who thinks a brown sock and a black sock is close enough. Felix is still a fussbudget who can't pass a spice rack without arranging it alphabetically. After years of going their separate ways, the two are together again, en rout to the wedding of Oscar's son to Felix's daughter. They've got the map, the rental car, a tankful of Simons's comedy zingers, and they're getting 1,000 smiles to the gallon!

First Monday In October (Dir. Ronald Neame) (1981): Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh star in this dramatic comedy that centers around the appointment of the first woman to the US Supreme Court. She is aggressive, witty, magnetic--and an arch-conservative. He is wry, opinionated and roundly liberal. One hundred and one men have proceeded the new female justice to seats on the bench of the nation's highest court, but now it's eight men and her. All unanimously accept their new colleague--except Matthau, "The Great Dissenter." He becomes the source of her fury, her challenges, her antagonism...and finally her loving admiration. Matthau and Clayburgh are unforgettably and hilariously opposed in this contemporary tale that goes behind the bend with wit, wisdom and great conviction.
