I love Judy and I mean L-O-V-E her but though they came during some of her peak performance years I revisit her films with Mickey the least because he can just be TOO much despite the irrefutable fact that he was very talented. Still the film is packed with good music and a couple of chances to see Paul Whiteman and his band perform so it's a case of checks and balances.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-13138682726040229452016-06-23T14:28:09.352-04:002016-06-23T14:28:09.352-04:00Haha :D I always love how different your choices a...Haha :D I always love how different your choices are.

I am, but I'll concede he's in that Pacino/Nicholson category of guys who often just play the same character, just with different names.<br /><br />Never heard of Chops, but it sounds very interesting.<br /><br />I love Fame, probably more than I should. The film and the TV show were nice chunks of my childhood.<br /><br />Strike Up the Band has been on my radar, but never struck me as something I just had to see. That tagline isn't helping. Just sounds like Rooney going bonkers. I have to be in a special mood for that.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-7165362881543669022016-06-23T09:58:25.762-04:002016-06-23T09:58:25.762-04:00I LOVE Revenge of the Nerds!!

The sequels not so much but the first is a joy. <br /><br />Great Debaters sounded interesting when it was out but what probably drew most people slackened my interest in it, Denzel Washington. I don't flat out dislike him but he often irks me so I rarely go out of my way to catch his films. Now if it had starred Don Cheadle it would have been a different story. Reading about it again has restored my interest so I'll have to check it out.<br /><br />Though I'm not much of a poetry fan that documentary sounds worth seeking out as well.<br /><br />Speaking of which my first choice is a doc too! I had a bit of a struggle this week because I would think of a film and realize it was a sport competition and have to go on the hunt again but I did finally come up with these.<br /><br />Chops (2007)-This documentary follows different groups of students as they prepare and then compete in the annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band competition. Terrific look at the commitment of both the students and teachers who care passionately about music and what it takes to compete.<br /><br />Fame (1980)-Covering four years at New York’s High School for Performing Arts where students are constantly competing for advancement and acknowledgment all leading up to the big finale and graduation. This led to a successful spin-off TV series. <br /><br />Strike Up the Band (1940)-It’s Judy Garland & Mickey Rooney as high schoolers and aspiring musicians who want their band to compete in the upcoming Paul Whiteman competition for high school bands. Problem is the fare to the contest in Chicago is $200. What to do? Why put on a show of course!! Mickey’s a bit much as he usually was but Judy is lovely and sings like a dream naturally. The tagline will give you some idea of what to expect "Their Sunniest, Funniest, Down-to-Mirthiest Hit! It Beats the Band!”joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-841949139935523792016-06-23T06:22:34.724-04:002016-06-23T06:22:34.724-04:00I went to see it when it came out in theaters.

I watched it another 10 or 12 times throughout my teenage years.
