They say you can’t keep a good musical down. But it seems like only three people are participating these days. What gives? Anyway, here is what we have as results for this week: On the bottom of the list was Damn Yankees with 7 points followed by South Pacific and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg each with 9 points. Next up is Annie Get Your Gun with 11 points. One point separated first and second place giving The King and I an edge over On the Town. The former received a total of 14 points while the latter only got 13. The King and I goes into my queue. I will receive it next week to be watched that subsequent weekend and reviewed in The Morning After to be posted on May 9 (due to a backlog, I may not be able to get the review posted by that time).
Here’s the deal: every week, I will be calling for suggestions of films to be added to my Netflix queue. Each person makes one suggestion and one alternate (in case I have seen one of your suggestions). The next week, when I call for new suggestions, we begin a one-week voting period to select the film to be placed immediately into my Netflix queue to be reviewed the weekend after (because I’ll already have my Netflix queue selections for the coming weekend). Then, you’ll find out what I thought in my weekly Morning After feature on Monday morning.
Sometimes a genre gets stuck in the rotation and it makes for a rough viewing schedule. Starting this week, I’m going to be asking for suggestions that fit a specific genre so each week can be a bit spicy. The genre or event listed each week will be posted at the end of this post.
To help decide what to pick, here is a list of what I’ve seen (or at least that I have personally logged).
