I'm at my four year anniversary, but you've continued to post far more often than I have after the first few years.<br /><br />So January 12th is the day for the first dual posts. I'll have to decide which one I want to watch first. I've deliberately not watched any of them so my experience will be fresher when I write the review. I can't guarantee I'll be able to resist watching all 12 before the year is up, though.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-14850150398460693372015-01-01T10:51:55.708-06:002015-01-01T10:51:55.708-06:00I agree with Steve - you're not missing much n...I agree with Steve - you're not missing much not havaing seen Babes in Arms,,,and I tend to like musicals.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-74898537362108096042015-01-01T02:34:12.839-06:002015-01-01T02:34:12.839-06:00Happy New Year and 5 year anniversary!

I thought <i>Strike Up the Band</i> had its moments, and I do like Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. <br /><br />But I really doubt that <i>Babes in Arms</i> is going to show me a Mickey Rooney I've never seen before, who deserved to win the Oscar in 1939.<br /><br />If I change my mind, it's on YouTube for $3.
