I dunno, why *wouldn't* I watch The Sound of Music after watching the two Sister Act movies?

Not me thinking I see Kathy Najimy and Maggie Smith lookalikes though...

Christopher Plummer is an absolutely snack of a man. I know as a kid I crushed on a couple of the kids but as a man, well…
Friedrich 😍
Catholic guilt lobbed with precision at the dinner table?! Classique
I always liked the dancing in the Gazebo though for some reason I wasn’t into Rolfe
Uncle Max is totally a fun guncle
There is so much shade and sarcasm in this script I love it
How had I completely forgotten about the puppet show and the Lonely Goatherd?!
Watching this just makes me want a classic Julie Andrews marathon. Thoroughly Modern Millie, Victor Victoria, Mary Poppins, etc

Also I will die on this hill: My Favorite Things is NOT NOT NOT a Christmas song!! The film is set in Spring and summer. The first time they sing it is during a summer storm. Just because it mentions snowflakes and Christmas as objects of affection does not a holiday song make!!

(Die Hard, however, is absolutely a Christmas movie)

@ibwatson Who says that it is? I’ve never thought of it as such, even if the BBC insists on showing the film at Christmas as if it’s written in their charter. 🤔

And yep, with you on Die Hard.

@benjamincox I’ve encountered multiple holiday albums and sheet music books in my life that include it, it’s like the carol gods latched onto it because it mentions snowflakes or something.
@ibwatson Maybe it’s a cultural thing, then? 🤷🏻‍♂️
@benjamincox it also wouldn’t surprise me if “dumb modern Americans” heard “brown paper packages tied up with string and thought of Christmas presents and not posted parcels or shopping spoils.
