I sure liked the tunes

It's been a long time since I've seen this movie but I really like the Carpenter's songs. I'm the youngest of five and I had three older sisters so I guess I grew up listening to them. I don't really have anything earth-shattering to say other than I sure hope this movie comes on again.

BTW, I've always found it amusing that nobody claims to like them but they sold a bazillion albums!
I'm a guy who likes them and is proud to say so; under the cover of IMDb that is.

The songs are the best part of the movie.

I'm a guy and I'm openly a Carpenters fan, I own all their albums and blast them from my car radio and bedroom proudly.

I must admit that I forgot about this post.

Anyway, it's nice to hear that there is at least one other guy that likes The Carpenters. I don't have all their albums (any more) but I like to listen to them on Pandora. My work colleagues give me that look when I turn their tunes up!

BTW, gotta love IMDb's email notification!
Thanks for the reply!

I have been a Carpenters fan since the day I was born.

Okay, The Carpenters released their first album when I was two.

But some of my earliest memories are of listening to the radio and hearing their songs. So was it until I was a teenager, when they stopped recording. But I have all of their recordings (on CD, of course, although I still have two of my dad's original vinyl albums), and their music always brings a smile to my day. I will always be a fan!
