    Same here. I even watched it a few weeks ago. It draws me in every time.

    Not me. I also detest musicals. My one exception is Oliver, which is great, with some cracking tunes.

    The Sound of Music is on.

    That means it must be CHRISTMAS!

    One of my all time favourite films + bonus is no one else wants to watch it so I get some peace for a few hours!

    I don't like the way they stole the theme from "The Man in the High Castle".

    I watched it for the first time this year with my girlfriend. She had seen it many times, as it seems so many have.

    I enjoyed it. A lot of the songs are catchy - I would chalk that up to personally hearing so many of them in other pop culture references before. So I was like "ahh so that's where it comes from"

    Am I alone in thinking a young Christopher Plummer looks like Michael Fassbender? :pac:

    Also, couldn't help but randomly think of the lines: "do you see me Kirk?" , "Oh now come on captain you do prefer it this way" while watching him on screen :pac:

    ABBA is the pinnacle of pop music, making a musical out of it is completely unnecessary

    Cats, the musical appeared on the Sky menu this morning and I like musicals anyway and Taylor Swift was just a bonus... but then I remembered James Corden is in it too, and there’s no way to block that out, so I’ll be giving this one a miss.

    Reminds me of Ricky Gervais comment at the Emmys. “This year the world got to see James Corden as a fat pussy.............. he was also in Cats the Musical :D

    All the Von Trapp kids had the same bedtime. Madness. No wonder the oldest was whispering sweet nothings to the Nazis.

    widely regarded as one of the worst movies of the past twenty years ?

    have not seen it myself

    Anyone spot the fortress from Where Eagles Dare in the background when they're up on those lovely Salzburg Alps singing songs? A great Christmas movie crossover.

    I couldnt find any Guns of Navarone this Christmas. Of course The Sound of Music gives the impression that the Austrians didn't welcome Adolf's lads

    Met a guy who works in movies, lighting if I remember correctly. He said being on set for Mamma Mia 2 was an awful experience. Maybe it's easier after the sound people do their work.

    I normally can't bear musicals and that includes The Sound of Music. I just never 'got' Julie Andrews. So not my thing.

    He’s a ride in The Sound Of Music.

    Speaking of Christmas classics, I watched ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ for the first time ever a few days ago and I really loved it. Loved the old-timey corniness, was surprised at how funny it was and was also surprised at how emotional I felt at the ending. I liked the dark undercurrent running through it too.

    I thought Halloween only brought out the weird and wonderful, but the sound of music! By any chance have your meds been mixed up?

    The Hereos of Telemark has been on at least twice, though.

    I wrongly thought for a long time it actually was the Austrian national anthem, but no it was written by Rogers and Hammerstein.

    Yes, very similar actually. One crowd dressed in black, blindly following a supreme leader and prone to great cruelty at times while the others were German national socialists.

    I watched The Dambusters today. Where would we be without Bomber Harris?
