I watched it again recently and still enjoyed it, although the special effects seem a bit cheesy. It was fun seeing a very young Eastwood, and the climactic scene in the castle's Great Hall where Burton outs the moles in MI6, while a bewildered Eastwood looks on, remains a classic.

What a nice succinct summary of my rememberances of sacrament meetings, collecting fast offerings, etc.

Boy that brought a memory crashing home. I bet I saw that movie six or seven times (in the theatres, before VCR's).

Yea, it's some kind of taste. I'm starting to think htta maybe staying in Ohio was a win/win for everyone, especially you.

Hmmm...everybody in this thread except you and RunnerCoug love The Sound of Music. Me, pelagius, myboynoah, Seattle Ute, PAC, Barbara Gordon, IPU, and Goatnapper96 (he didn't respond so it's assumed under SU rules that he also loves it) all have it for the good Governess. So you may need to reassess your stance on this fine film.

Il Pad and I have joined in praise of Patton before. It is a GREAT film. And if we ever have our slumber party at PAC's, in honor of the great generation of WWII, I'm going to insist we close with this:

I can't get over Rogers and Hammerstein, these two New York Jews who had a genius--an absolute genius--for creating cheesy musicals that Christian middle Americans of Northern European descent revered. Oklahoma is the Classic. Two New York Jews writing, "The corn is as high as an elephant's eeeeye..." The New Yorker had a great article about them a few years back. People are amazing animals.

I haven't seen that one for years. My daughter won it in an Easter Egg hunt so I imagine I'll be checking it out any day now. Watch for the review. I do remember a catchy tune about sweeping chimneys, which I'm sure Triplet Dad can somehow make into a double entendre.
