Good Morning! Some movies recently have come up in conversation with friends of mine, so I thought I would do a little “scientific” poll among all of you. Any of you that want to participate that is. My all time favorite movie, hands down, would be “The Sound of Music!” I started watching it with my family when I was little and basically grew up with it. Every year around Christmas time we would gather around the TV to watch it. It is one of those movies that never grows old, and warms my heart every time. What is yours?
There are many types of movies that I do like, and two of them came up in conversation. One was a movie from back in my teen years, “Dirty Dancing” with Patrick Swayzee, my sister and I would watch it and dream. How many of you remember it? The other one is more recent, “Mama Mia!” The great music and the beauty of the ocean in the movie, just makes one go “Ahhh!” I will admit though that if “ABBA” would have been singing their own songs the movie would have been even better! Your thoughts? While you are thinking, enjoy the quotes, pick a favorite one or 2, and may they bring a smile, and lift your heart on day number ???? of lockdown!
Another great classic movie. 🙂

Yay for Willy Wonka and silliness. We all could use more of that! As for movies, no list would be complete without the excellent Lord of the Rings series.

I remember all those films, and I’ve seen The Sound of Music so many times, i could probably act it on my own. Pierce Brosnan spoilt Mamma Mia for me as a singer he is NOT!
Favourite films I could watch forever? The Glenn Miller Story or It’s a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart, Medicine Man with Sean Connery, and The Terminator (the original) with Arnie, so a pretty mixed bag! If you want animation, then Dumbo (I still cry), Up or Despicable Me (1 and 2).
Great quotes again this week but 3, 4, 8 and especially 10 did it for me.

Yes, I think I could act out the Sound of Music too! 🙂
Haven’t seen Up for a long time, but I did really like it! There are great animated films out there!
Yes, I agree, Pierce was not a great singer,but I still enjoyed the movie! 🙂
I knew I had to include 10 when I saw it, especially in these times right now. Glad you liked the others too!

Well, my favorite movie of all time is probably The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. Dances With Wolves is on the list for the music. I also loved The Naked Gun for comedy, but unfortunately OJ is in it.
When I was a teen, I had a VHS tape that had 16 Candles, Back to the Future, and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. I watched those movies so much I can almost quote them beginning to end.
I like the second quote.
