Isaac Watson 
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)
If I ever get married again I am stating now that I want a cheeky wedding march and chorus of “How do you solve a problem like a Watson”
The Sound of Music is such a lovely film. Julie Andrews is my diva. And the morals are refreshingly simple:
Don’t let your grief/trauma ruin your children’s lives.
Marry for love, not money (if at all). 16 is far too early.
Nazis=Bad. Tear up the flag. Sing of your homeland.
A lack of political affiliation is not an option, you’re either complicit in fascism or working to destroy it.
Beware of nuns, they will fuck shit up in the most innocently pious way possible if you cross them.

Journeys In Film@JTinMI @ibwatson Speaking of radical nuns, while you're having your nunfest, we have a hidden gem to recommend: Rebel Hearts.
If it's (most likely) not on your radar, it's a film about an order of Catholic nuns who challenged the Catholic Patriarchy in the 1960. Their story is absolutely extraordinary.
I tear up in awe at the 044 mark in the trailer. The film itself is way more powerful.
Every once in a while we have watch parties for our remote team so we can watch films together and this is a Journeys staff favorite.
If you'd like to check it out, there are links for where to watch it in our library:
