Welcome all to a new Villages Movie Club - "Return to the Bijou". These movies will focus on good old entertainment from the 30s thru the 50s. We'll have a monthly meeting with a main feature, cartoon(s), previews, short comedy, serial chapter, newsreel, etc. Since we're new, we need to hear from you folks what titles of movies you would like to see, or type of movie. Action, Comedy, B programmers like Boston Blackie, Tarzan, Jungle Jim, or stars like William Powell, Ann Southern, etc. The Entertainment Committee will be looking to see how much interest there will be in this club, so respond, please. Naturally, you will need an active Villages ID and be a resident or guest. Let me hear from you. Craig Poorbaugh, 724-423-8526 or [email]craigmoviedad@yahoo.com.

We would be interested.

No doubt this will be a popular club. My fav from that era…anything Shirley Temple! Definitely interested.

This is somewhat before the time-period quoted in the OP, but has the possibility of including silent movies been discussed? They're fascinating in a lot of ways: the acting for sure is a lot different than that in sound pictures but it is also interesting to see how the technology developed from the very earliest short movies to what we have today.

Do people know what movie you are to show prior to the meeting?

What time of day are you going to do this?

Where are you going to have this meeting?

I’m interested depending on the answers to these questions.

Time of day and rec center is determined when OP can provide enough interest to form a club

Great! When the Villages gives final approval for the club to go forward, and they and I land on a place for the show, I'll email everyone interested. So if you can give me your email address, I'll put you on the list. OK? Thanks, Craig

Yes. I'll likely have several months planned in advance, but on occasion can be changed if needed.

What time of day are you going to do this?
I am thinking Thursday-don't know which one in the month, yet - about 6 PM.

Where are you going to have this meeting?
See comment below.

The silents are a fairly limited interest group of folks, but Ii have some and access to many more. I can see where we would program one or two shows a year as silents, or maybe even a special event.

The movie club sounds great!

Somewhat related, if you like old time radio shows you can go to

Great Detectives of Old Time Radio

on YouTube, they have thousands of radio programs there.

Movie buff here so sounds interesting, the big question is : When and where is this happening... as you know the biggest obstacle for retired people is having an open day and time....LOL !

My proposal is not quite a real club, as yet. When it is, the Entertainment Committee will help in selecting a Rec Center and day and time. For all those on my email list of interested parties, they will get first info on that. Additionally, film titles will likely be selected several months in advance, but subject to change if needed
thanks
