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. 👏🏻

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.

New in Town.

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.

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.
