I've made some edits to the previous post; upon thinking further I realized there were a couple of other answers to check off, plus, I wanted to say more on one of the Twilight Sparkle questions
( Read more... )
I saw Lady and the Tramp advertised the other day and it made me want to see it again so badly. Don't think I've watched it for over 10 years. It's so cute though and I love the Siamese Cat Song. I'm never sure what is classified as a classic Disney film but your explanation makes perfect sense.
I keep meaning to watch the old Bing Crosby and Bob Hope films, I vaguely recall seeing a couple on television when I was a kid but I really should try and get some out from the library one day.
You know I have a soft spot for Howard Keel, I love his musicals especially Calamity Jane and Annie Get Your Gun (even if the storylines are pretty similar)
Question #12 was kinda tough as I really like Natalie Wood, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. My Fair Lady has always been one of my favorite movies and Audrey comes across as being incredibly charming. I guess I went for Natalie as I'm more familiar with her work.
That autograph question was hard! I have absolutely no knowledge of old Hollywood autographs which is why I cheated and went for Walt. ;)
I've only seen the film a handful of times, but I love it. I guess the sequel about Scamp wasn't too bad, as sequels go, but it could never top the original.
There's definitely some fun bits in all of the Road pictures.
I finally saw Calamity Jane, by the way! I really enjoyed it. And Dick Wesson was priceless. LOL. I have Annie Get Your Gun but I haven't seen it yet.
I like a lot of Audrey's movies, but My Fair Lady is one of the only ones I just didn't care for. A lot of the storyline just didn't make much sense to me, like the subplot with her father, and I think she could have done a lot better with her choice of a romantic interest. (And I did rather cringe at the part where she reveals her true colors at the big party; I didn't like seeing Audrey swear like that. But it was definitely an effective way to get across how crude her character could be.)
I think I've only seen 3 Audrey films..My Fairy Lady, Funny Face and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Oh and I've seen Always too but that was more a cameo role really. Always wanted and meant to see Roman Holiday and Sabrina. I think I have a particular fondness for My Fair Lady because I watched it a lot as a kid and I feel an almost sentimental attachment to it. I love the soundtrack and those glorious costumes and I think Rex Harrison is great in his role as Professor Higgins even if I do want to hit him across the head with a rolled up newspaper half the time.
Let me know what you think of Annie Get Your Gun once you've seen it. :) Calamity Jane is fabulous, I love Doris Day and Howard Keel in it, they had such good chemistry (and why on earth Calamity was ever interested in dullard Danny is beyond me) and Dick Weeson was so funny dressed up as a saloon girl singing "A Hive Full of Honey". *lol*
I've seen all of those, I think, although I'm not so sure about Funny Face. I like Breakfast at Tiffany's for the most part (but I didn't like where she made the guy steal something from the five-and-dime store). I love Roman Holiday and Sabrina! And Charade! And Wait Until Dark!
Ahh, I see. Yes, I can see how sentimentality would play a large part. And Rex definitely was amazing at being a jerk. LOL.
I will!
Yeah, that Danny guy was a jerk, really. I'm not sure he really deserved the other girl, either.

LOL. Well, Walt is always a good choice!

Dick in drag was just hilarious.
