The Sound of Music I will watch again & again. As I love to watch another epic: Ben Hur.

At 42, my family still loves the musicals of an era that knew how to make them. Our kids are ardent fans of Music Man (original and remake), Brigadune, Singin’ in the rain, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Seven Brides for Sever Brothers and the list goes on and on.

Thanks for sharing.

I hate most musicals because the songs and music are usually pretty lame. I did like ‘The Sound of Music’ though, and my favourite ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ mostly because I like the songs and can somewhat, in one way or another, identify with some of the characters. And Wizard of Oz is pretty cool too, but mostly, I hate musicals.

Oh, and don’t forget about ‘Grease!’
…the best musical ever!

…….NOT!!!

I like that it shows a girl choose to grow up and be a mature adult with all the personal responsibility that comes from it. Quite the contrast in the abundant Hollywood fare of adults choosing to be immature.

The Music Man has to be the greatest followed closely by Guys and Dolls. It’s all about the songs! Well, and Sinatra singing with Brando!

The Sound of Music has some really great music. IMO the story kine only serves to “set up” the next song.

We just got West Side Story on DVD. This also has a story line that serves to get us to the next really great song.

IMO: Both musicals ROCK!

Not “happy happy” but Cabaret and All That Jazz make my top 5 list of watch-again movie musicals.

Love the sound of Music, watched it again last night… Question: I noticed on the info on the television that it was made in 1965. I remember watching it at the Drive in for the first time in the 3rd grade. That would put me at 8 or 9 years old as I was born in 1961. Did movies run for a long time back in the day? Or were they slow to be released? It really makes you aware of how far we have come with technology today. Do you know by chance how long the run was for the sound of music? I also remember it took me a full year to see JAWS, as it was sold out every time I went. Things have certainly changed in our time.
