This week’s question: What's the most charming small town movie? The Rules: Post your answer as a comment. Whoever gets the most likes on their answer by Saturday wins the fight and gets to choose next Monday's question.
Follow Me, Boys - I've mentioned it before. It set in the 1920s, and a troupe of musicians comes through the small town. But one of the musicians falls in love with a local girl so gives up the music life, becomes a drugstore worker just so that he can get the girl, and in the meantime becomes a boy scout leader (to attract the girl) and ends up being influential in the lives of generations of young men.
I can never get this title straight so I’ll need to look it up, but…(pauses to consult the interwebs for correct wording)…The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society has a wonderfully fun, intimate, quirky small town feel in spite of the ridiculously impossible title. Plus it has books and tea. 👏🏻
Rotten Tomatoes says it's "clichéd and short on charm" ... whatever. That doesn't sway me. I am generally not a fan of romantic comedy, but this one is rated PG... so, less romance and more comedy. I love this movie.
For all the reasons...
It's a Wonderful Life. Final answer.
I really can't argue against that.
Oh gosh, yes. 👏🏻🙌🏻
A hands down winner this week. Congratulations, Chris Bottoms, you get to choose Monday's question.

It’s good! Better than the book. Cozy, funny, British. 😁
Me too! And it’s not woke, although there is one alternative lifestyle character, mostly played for ironic humor.
It’s a good one. 😂 And I agree.
New in Town.

Ooh, I’ll have to check that one out!
The Goonies
It’s wacky, wholesome, adventurous, and hilarious. What’s more relatable than a bunch of kids just talking over each other all the time?
I have to give a vote for this simply because I love The Goonies! One of my favorite childhood movies.
Ohh, that was a fun one!
