On our "Best Films of 2002" show, I said: It was a made-for-HBO film, and although we reviewed it on the TV show and I picked it as one of the year's best films, I had never published a written review because it never opened theatrically. In connection with the Great Movies project, I settled down to watch a relatively recent film I thought was a likely prospect, Mike Nichols' "Wit" (2001). But in connection with movies, I didn't think my emotions ever ran that strongly. I still have the tape, and I still feel that way. The box has moved around with me for a long time, but I have never listened to the tape since my dad died. It's an old reel-to-reel tape I used with the tape recorder my dad bought me in grade school. I know exactly where the tape is, in which box, on which shelf. It was for " Frequency" (2000), Gregory Hoblit's movie about a man who uses a freak of his dad's old ham radio to be able to talk to him in the present, even though he was a child when his father died.
