This is actually my dad's favorite movie!(or it was growing up!)

It might be easier to come up with a list of reasons NOT to love The Sound of Music than to come up with a list of reasons to love it. I mean, what's not to love about this movie? It's got it all: a guitar-playing heroine who can make clothing out of old drapes, children who sing and then march off to bed, and a dreamy-eyed hero.

Just in case we're limited as to how long we can blather on in these reviews, I'm going to tell you the thing I love most about this movie: the scene in the Pavillion.

Sigh.

I don't want to spoil the moment for the three people on the planet who haven't seen the movie, heard about the movie, or read about the movie yet, so I'm not going to say anything more except this: everyone should own a copy of this movie (even die-hard cynics -- especially die-hard cynics), because it's a classic, feel-good movie. Enough said.

it will be hard to keep from breaking out into song after seeing this one.

has there ever been a bigger musical then this movie? julie andrews does a spectacular job of portraying the nun maria who will go on to care for the von trapp family. julie andrews has one of the biggest singing voices in cinema and this movie is the pinnacle of her career. julie went on to do many more films but she will always be remembered as the woman who sang beautifully, "the hills are alive...with the sound of music!" this movie has all the elements in it: comedy, music, history and drama. you will fall in love with the von trapps and cheer them on in their fight against the nazis!

There are only a few greatest thing in life than singing out loud, letting go and feeling the music. This one is a classic, you grew up listening to it, and how not to love it? It has romantic songs, breath-taking ones and silly, fun tunes.
