My 150 Favorite Movies - #65

The Sound of Music (1965)

This movie was of seminal importance to me, as a kid growing up in the turbulent '60's. No one was ever as wholesome as Julie Andrews, nor as handsome as Christopher Plummer, nor was anywhere as scenic as the Austrian alps (or wherever the heck this movie was filmed). The score, by Richard Rodgers (along with lyics by Oscar Hammerstein) was eminently hummable and the story of the Trapp family's daring escape from the Nazi regime was almost unbearably thrilling. Suffice to say, this movie has more than stood the test of time, and will continue to please movie lovers everywhere for generations to come.
