Since that first short post on a <a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/4\">Seijun Suzuki movie<\/a> which Katy so hated, I&#8217;ve chalked up over 1100 features and over 800 shorts, <em>many<\/em> of which Katy has hated.  She married me anyway.<\/p>\n<p>In celebration of five years of movies, I&#8217;ve rescued a pile of must-see lists from my email archive.  After all, the blog was started partly because of my obsession with movie lists, and it has happily coincided with them ever since (via the <a href=\"\/lists\/journal.php?s=&#038;sortby1=blog DESC\">sortable list of entries<\/a> and various other must-see lists posted every few months, <a href=\"\/journal\/about\">all collected here<\/a>).  So these are project or theme-month lists left uncompleted, with titles I actually watched removed, and overlaps kept to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<br \/>\n<strong>Musicals Month<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In October (and November) 2007, Katy and I watched a bunch of musicals.  I even made a musicals-month soundtrack CD.  There were some rocky selections &#8211; Katy walked out on <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/417\">Pennies From Heaven<\/a><\/em> and declared that <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/428\">Red Garters<\/a><\/em> was not a proper musical, but she got to pick <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/426\">Grease<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/422\">Fiddler on the Roof<\/a><\/em>.
