Only one re-watch this month, but it was a spectacular one: I got to enjoy The Music Man on the big screen at the wonderful Vogue Theatre in Manistee, Michigan — introduced by Ken Cooper, who previously introduced the film on TCM! Ken was hilarious, and the film was beautiful. I hope to have a whole post up soon on my experiences at the Vogue and the efforts of the wonderful volunteers there. (I saw three films at the Vogue while I was camping in the area!)

What did you watch in August? Anything great that you’d like to recommend? Let me know below!

Happy September, and I hope you have a film-filled fall!
