Can't say that I'm terribly excited at the prospect of going there today, but the 1950s version seems like it would be a place full of life, with Havana a city that had a lively personality at all hours of the day.<br /><br />As for the Reading meme, I had to respectfully decline (in the comments section of your post), where I cited ignorance as my main reason. I just don't/haven't read many books on film, preferring instead to watch films based on books. ;)Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-57043907011474207092009-06-20T08:44:03.148-04:002009-06-20T08:44:03.148-04:00Welcome to the site, Daniel. Yeah, with this meme...Welcome to the site, Daniel. Yeah, with this meme, it only seems like there's two ways to go.<br /><br />Pick some variation on the future, which is what you did. Who wouldn't like to live in some place with postmodern technology? My second choice was <i>Star Trek's</i> 23rd century.<br /><br />Or pick a place that was impossible to go to either because of time (the past) or circumstance (political oppression). My choice seems to be a result of both of these considerations.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-89053256339231091302009-06-19T11:23:33.613-04:002009-06-19T11:23:33.613-04:00Thanks for participating, Tony!

This is a really great selection - I'm actually surprised more people didn't choose Cuba, seeing as how it isn't the easiest place to get to - for now...<br /><br />Wow, just those screen shots from The GFII you've found offer a tantalizing idea of what it may have been like 50 years ago. I also appreciate the other movies you recommend (I notice that you excluded, ahem, Dirty Dancing II: Havana Nights). <br /><br />I'd still love to go to Cuba one day. My girlfriend went for a week a couple years ago and liked it quite a bit. It didn't sound like the easiest place to live, though, in terms of personal freedoms. Pretty interesting little slice of island paradise.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-49162464631763910762009-06-19T07:39:16.151-04:002009-06-19T07:39:16.151-04:00and Guantanamera (hilarious movie, suprisingly sup...and Guantanamera (hilarious movie, suprisingly supported by the Cuban government).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
