The entire gathering of neighbors to watch movies is a great idea. Fun on a Friday? night, bonding with the neighborhood.
In the small Texas town we lived, they would gather each month
on a Saturday night and watch movies being projeced on the blank brick wall of a building. Bring your own seating, quilt
or whatever. Then, for some reason shortly after we moved into town, these gatherings ceased.
As to the many movies you listed. Some are now on the list or
soon will be. Doubtful we’ll ever be given the opportunity for Gone With The Wind and several others. The fists hold tight onto those and the copyrights. Personal favorites here are the musicals with Grable, Horne, Miranda. The same
fist holding holds true for these as well. Certainly a ‘good thing’ the industry was so productive during that era. Still LOTS of others to choose from.
That sounds awesome...but for a small Texas town neighborliness seems like a normal thing.
We grew up in URBAN BOSTON! LOL! :-)
That’s probably how Dad was able to get such good flicks, as he worked downtown in the Theater District. They weren’t cheap though.
