There have been some movies in the Villages that draw HUGE crowds and this may be the next one coming out in May of 2019--

POMS Trailer (2019) Diane Keaton, Pam Gier Movie - YouTube

Mamma Mia and its sequel got a lot of Villages as did The Boynton Beach Club .

My number 1 pick this year is Bohemian Rhapsody. This film hit all my emotions hard enough to raise the hair on my arms several times. :bigbow:

We enjoy watching the Oscars. Sometimes you hear and see “things” you don’t agree with but exposing yourself to the “arts”, different ideas and people from different lifestyles and backgrounds can give you a better understanding of the world we live in. Hopefully we can be smarter and wiser today than we were yesterday. My wife and I grew up in small midwestern towns and it wasn’t until later that we met people from different backgrounds, lifestyles and religions. It has been my experence that most people don’t want you to agree, rather, they want respect. “I don’t like that man, I must get to know him better.” Abraham Lincoln

Analogous to one of my favorite sayings. :cool:

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

I have met some awful people but most of those were people I was representing who were in prison at Minnesota Correctional Facility-- Stillwater or running for political office or in political office.

Abraham Lincoln though looks like he was one hell of a good man.
