Musical Movie Night




The last time we watched two musicals it was called Cannon Movie Night and we were a week into our celebration of Cannon Films. Well, it's just one week after finally watching Cannon's flagship production Breakin' 2: Electic Boogaloo that we're going to watch two more. I call this the Cannon Cycle.

Can't Stop the Music: (So Don't Ask) stars Steve Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine, Bruce Jenner and the Village People. I considered showing this during Olympic Movie Night because of gold medal decathlete Jenner but it seemed in poor taste after Guttenberg killed all those Israeli wrestlers.

Plus family is in town for the holidays and they just wouldn't get Nomad Riders.

It's directed by this fellow:



Here's what happened last week:
