MOVIE TITLES for the PHONOGRAPH NUT.

THE SHINING: Horror. Vernis-Martin meets lemon Pledge.

TRUE GRIT. Involves lots of Bluebird and Red Columbia records--and wear testing, to see which has TRUE GRIT. Spoiler--the guy just buys a Pathé at the end of it.

THE BIRDS: A Victrola, a yard-sale, and a flock of overloaded cedar waxwings. Horror.

CITY LIGHTS: Four days into the power outage and the phonograph guy is just fine.

GROUNDHOG DAY. Has the wrong Billy Murray in it.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD: A collector deletes the last Three Stooges videos--to save Charles Daab's 1912 xylophone hit from further association. Horror.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Water damage, Craigslist, and a general mess.

INTOLERANCE: Cousins have a disquieting tendency to tell Our Hero he has Aspergers/needs one of those hoarding shows to clear him out.

THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO: A Japanese collector, new to the United States and his third-floor apartment, buys a Victor 10-50...but didn't measure the stairs. He does know a guy with a cherry picker truck, though.

THELMA AND LOUISE: Two old Shabby Chicks drive off a cliff in their Prius trying to get more green paint. They're both organ donors so they're upcycled too.

THE WIZARD OF OZ: Dorothy travels far into a magical land for new cylinders. Sorry, they've been out of business for years.

GONE WITH THE WIND: Hubby likes fans, Honey likes victrolas. Must a house divided lead to a civil war, or is there hope?



All right, any other suggestions? This could be funny.

FAST AND FURIOUS: Victrola meets goop and steel wool for the first time, action.

True enough. I think the worst thing that can happen to a victrola like that is for it to fall into the hands of a so-called "collector." :twisted: :roll:

The Music Man: A guy spends all his waking hours playing antique phonographs.

Frozen: A phonograph collector desperately tries to free the pot metal tonearm of his Grafonola.
