Steve Martin Month | Everyone Says I Love You

Hey club members, 

A great time was had by all at Leslie and Jim's house for the January movie club dinner.  Many thanks to them for hosting.  For February, we've chosen a musical called "Everyone Says I Love You", a Woody Allen musical from the 1990s starring Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn, Alan Alda, and Drew Barrymore.  It's hard to find so the back up musical selection is "Bandwagon" starring Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire.  Also, lets include your choice of any of Steve Martin's films.  Some of my personal favorites are "Lonely Guy", "Bowfinger", "Roxanne", and "A Simple Twist of Fate".  There are many more to choose from, so feel free to explore.  Info regarding the next dinner will be announced soon.
