I’ve copied the second list from 2-28 and put in alphabetical order below. Just makes it easier to read...at least for me.

I’m glad somebody mentioned “10" starring Bo Derek and Dudley Moore. That was an influential
movie with a message to me. I know that sounds funny but there was a message in that movie.
Socially redeeming, know what I mean?

Back in the early 80s, there was a song called “The Idolmaker.” I’ve never seen it on TV and I don’t
know if you can buy it but it is one movie I’d buy (and I don’t buy movies). This movie was based in
the 50s or 60s and was about a songwriter who couldn’t sing well enough to record. It was actually a
bio-pic so it may not fit the question. It was the story of Bob Marucci, who discovered great singers
like Frankie Avalon and Fabian. In the movie, he would set up these singers in careers and they would
do great but eventually would self-destruct. As I recall, the last scene showed the
writer/producer/manager in a lounge singing his own songs. I thought it was great.

In the movie “Pure Country” a guy named George Strait played a songwriter-singer.

Two legends named Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson did a movie in the 80s called “Songwriter.”

Dolly and Stallone did “Rhinestone” but I’m not sure anyone played a writer. It was inspired by
“Rhinestone Cowboy” though.

And in the Eastwood movie, “Every Which Way But Loose,” wasn’t that girl “Echo” a songwriter?
