BOS Tiny Dancer, despite priding myself on NOT being manipulated by pop culture, I think I got a little choked up in this scene from Almost Famous.

wow, this was one of the first theme sets of the AL era. (I guess she did "Dads'n'Grads" and the Pride set in June of '09).

Agreed     Same with some of the scenes in Harold & Maude

[Tinka Cat]

I'm loving this set. 

BOS3 to TAFKACS.  I saw Harold and Maude during the Red Vic's last weekend. 
BOS4 to the Shins.  Can't understand much of what he's saying, but I like their music a lot, esp this dream-pop nugget.

98.1 KISS FM played this one the other day and I was all Wha..?

BOS5 to OMD's If You Leave and John Hughes' Pretty In Pink, even if Andrew McCarthy's hair takes and abrupt turn for the absurd in the last prom scene  (he had shaved his hair for another part, but had to come back for a reshoot and they must have picked up a wig from K-Mart..  yeesh)

BOS and proxy of Alicat: Lulu.

How many Movie Mondays were there?  She really should bring this back.

My fave John Hughes movie and soundtrack.  I still rock the vinyl every now and then!

Yep, less than two months into her tenure as 10@10-meister, when she was amazing us daily with the gems she'd pull out. Has this theme been repeated since then? Not more than once, if that.

I saw two "Movie Mondays" in my earlier playlist search, but DM did some "10at10 Goes to The Movies"

iirc, management at the time frowned upon theme sets -- she had lots of ideas for them (remember "Funny Fridays"?) and they got shot down consistently.
