Because my ewes all decided to lamb this week, I unfortunately had to skip most of Ashley's Going Through The Era's 1960s week. However, I had this post almost completed anyway, so I decided to finish it and share it with you all:)

This week {March 25th-31st} is the 1960s.

My favorite films from the 1960s.
Happy Trails, y'all:)
Yay! Finally I can say that I have seen many of the films of the 1960s! My Mom took me to see the Disney greats: 101 Dalmations, Parnet Trap, PollyAnna and My Mom and Dad took me to see My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music. As a child, I had all the songs of My Fair Music memorized!! I think my favorite actress was Audrey Hepburn, but I loved her best in Two for the Road with Albert Finney. Plus another film I went to see on my own for French class in high school was the Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It is in French so it was a challenge but the theme song has stuck with me forever! Both of these last two films were so romantic and compelling for a teen girl who was all starry eyed herself!!
ReplyDeleteY'know, a lot of you gals I follow seem to like the same movies; your lists are almost identical! Hee!
ReplyDeleteI saw Wait Until Dark when I was eleven--at a Sunday school sleep-over. Yeek. Mom wasn't too happy about that....
(On a more positive note....)
Oh my! I didn't realize Rudolph was that old! My brother and I grew up watching that one (on VHS)...Christmas Season or not. :-P Ahh, nostalgia.
God bless,

@Winnie - I love the old Disney movies and The Sound of Music is near and dear to my heart because of my Austrian relations.
ReplyDelete@Wild Rose -
*grin* I guess a lot of us do like the same films:)
Um, wow. Wait Until Dark is not something you'd expect them to be watching at a Sunday school sleep-over!! It's not a bad film, but definitely not something an 11-year-old should be watching. I enjoyed it very much as an adult, but at age 11...I wouldn't have slept a wink!
My bro and I LOVE watching Rudolph!! We have it on VHS, too:)
