I’ve sent out emails to the “haven’t picked yet” folks – well, three of them; the email to singersargent came back as undeliverable. They’ll either post here or email me if they want to pick.
And Archive Guy has put together a set of six themed films that … well, tune in next week, this is going to be a lot of fun.
I’m here & have successfully changed my e-mail address in my profile, since I’ve subscribed to this thread & get e-mails whenever someone posts.
I’ve periodically checked on this thread, usually in between movie picks.
I would like to pick the movie Gigi. : )
My favorite musical.

To the other question… I’d like to know what your criteria are/were for the list of 20 or so films. What films were you guys hoping to see (Please not Gigi )? Are you looking to see certain films because you like them? Because they’re important? Because they’re by specific directors? Starred specific actors? Had certain songs, scenes, ideas, or themes? Really rarely seen stuff? Really widely known stuff? What are you going for with your list? What makes an “inspired” choice?
Obviously, I have not been reading all the posts. :rolleyes:
If the consensus is to skip Gigi…I can always choose something else. Like West Side Story. Where more of the actors have dubbed songs.

Um, I’m not the sum total of the Musical Lovers’ Salon and Debating Society. We’ve had mixed feelings on other movies as well. If you want us to remember it well and thank heaven for little girls - make that your pick.
I believe The List has been pretty well set – we’re just waiting for Archive Guy to announce the first six films so we can get started.
Ahem!
At this point, we’ve got a list of 24 films, arranged into six groups by theme. If you’d like to lead a discussion on Gigi as the last act of this incarnation of the Salon, singersargent , that would be great – otherwise we’ll just go ahead and proceed with the Beta version of the Salon. See the thread here .
And, eonwe , honey, any time you’re ready…
“Thanks, but I choose not to run.”
I mean…I’ll forego choosing Gigi & just go with the salon’s beta list. But I did see Fiddler recently & am willing & wanting to post.
Best,
ss
If you’d like to start the thread on that, we’d all be grateful.
