A few of my favourite things. Part One. MOVIES.

It’s a personal thing really but definitely on the list of my favourite movies are

·      The Princess Bride

·      The Sound of Music

·      Stardust

·      The Wizard of Oz

 

It’s also more about movie moments for me than whole movies. For example

·      Gene Kelly – just singing and dancing in the rain (Singing in the Rain)

·      Gordon McRae – cutting through the corn (Oaklahoma)

·      James Stewart – when a bell rings an angel gets its wings (It’s A Wonderful Life)

·      James Cromwell – they’re Vulcans! Live long. And prosper. (First Contact)

·      Sam Shepard – breaking the sound barrier (The Right Stuff)

·      Meryl Streep – bon appétit! (Julie and Julia)

·      Russell Crowe – home again. (Gladiator)

·      Brendan Fraser – running with the horses. (George of the Jungle)

·      Judy Garland – ding dong the witch is dead (The Wizard of Oz)

·      Robin Wright and Cary Elwes – as you wish (The Princess Bride)

·      Robert de Niro – can’t say anything more (Stardust)

·      Julie Andrews – running over the mountain (The Sound of Music)

 

And then there’s Johnny. Johnny Depp. He who surpasses all others! Which movie would I choose? Too hard but when I need a quick pick-me –up and a smile I definitely go for the final scene of Don Juan de Marco. Johnny. A beach. An open shirt. No need to say any more.
