My discussion on films/movies you remember email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. kitten1954 (1034)   ranked 1 out of 37 in the sound of music6 months ago

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a discussion about favourite films/ movies from childhood. There were lots of replies and many of them were about The Sound of Music and I wanted to reply to them in particular, some told of their favourite part of the movie so I wanted to put my favourite part in too but couldn't remember the exact wording. My daughter, who loves The Sound of Music watched it AGAIN today and she wrote down the quote for me. "I could never answer to a whistle, whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals but not for children and definitely not for me."Maria to Captain Von Trapp
Sound of Music 1965
Then I went to The Sound of Music the site and got the following information:

Cast (in credits order) verified as complete
Julie Andrews ... Maria
Christopher Plummer ... Captain Von Trapp
Eleanor Parker ... The Baroness
Richard Haydn ... Max Detweiler
Peggy Wood ... Mother Abbess
Charmian Carr ... Liesl
Heather Menzies ... Louisa
Nicholas Hammond ... Friedrich
Duane Chase ... Kurt
Angela Cartwright ... Brigitta
Debbie Turner ... Marta
Kym Karath ... Gretl
Anna Lee ... Sister Margaretta
Portia Nelson ... Sister Berthe
Ben Wright ... Herr Zeller
Daniel Truhitte ... Rolfe
Norma Varden ... Frau Schmidt
Gilchrist Stuart... Franz (as Gil Stuart)
Marni Nixon ... Sister Sophia
Evadne Baker ... Sister Bernice
Doris Lloyd ... Baroness Ebberfeld

This is such a wonderful movie and will be etched on the memories of many for years to come, it is a timeless movie and I enjoy it each time I see it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years.

I haven't seen this movie in forever but it is a great movie. I loved watching it since childhood. It is a great Julia Andrews movie. Also a great family movie.

It sure is, I am not surprised that it has such a high response for being a favourite. Julie Andrews really excelled in movies like this, I also love Mary Poppins and my two favourite scenes in that movie were; The Bird Lady and the horse race where Bert rescues the fox when it is being pursued by the hounds. Of course she was also great in her on-stage work too as she is such a talented lady and it wasn't difficult to see that she enjoyed what she was doing, that's half the battle.

Yeah Mary Poppins is another great movie she was in. I love the part were they go to the park also and it was part real and part cartoon. Great movie.

I meant to say I love the part were they go to the park.

Didn't somebody else just write about this movie? Or was it you? I like the songs. I bought a book of the sheet music and try to play some of them on my keyboard.

We have a theater in town, The Alamo Drafthouse http://www.originalalamo.com/ that is pretty much a fun place to be at times.

The roomie & I have enjoyed many a movie and a meal at the Drafthouse. I have never gone to any of their special events, but sometimes they have even more fun. For example, they have had a "The Sound of Music" sing-a-long event, where you go & sing with the movie.

Of course they've had a few Rocky Horror events. I think they did another movie sing-a-long, they do also do some Mystery Science Theater 3000 type events. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...

Sounds like a great place to be. Thanks for your response.

Hi kitten1954! I do love that movie too. I have watched it so many times and when it is being aired again on the cable, I usually watched it again. My husband usually tells me, aren't you tired of that movie. Well, I guess not! hehe.. I remember that line of Maria saying it to Captain Von Trapp. I really enjoy the songs and the Maria having such a beautiful spirit and infecting the whole family with her joy and love. Take care and have a nice day!:)

The Sound of Music is a world famous movie and I still remember it. Even if I watch it today, I still like it. My favorite movie in my childhood is Superman. I really like this movie. And I watched it for several times.
