I'm not familiar with that film PH but will definitely put it on my Lovefilm list thanks :-D

Just ordered it, but now does anyone know why they're sending two?...one theatrical and one director's cut? :-S

So glad we are all happy on this thread...sniffs...sobs :-D

oh Emma if a film is sad I can't help meself :-(....prefer happy but I just love 'Meet me in St.Louis ,one of my faves, and I just know I'll blubber when Judy sings to Margaret 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' sniff...it reminds me of when I was very young and going to the flicks :-D

WHO WHAT! Going to google Prickles :-)

Mau, a woman after me own heart :-) why can't
they make more films like that...sighs ;-) and
not forgetting Carousel and Love is a Many Splendored Thing. :-)

Fantastic Emma......I love films me :-D :-D

There is a trailer on YT Mau, looks like a new digitised version . Think I may enjoy this one also :-)

Thanks Ann :-)

Emma will you indulge me?

ESTHER:(Judy Garland)

With my high-starched collar
And my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head
I went to loose a jolly hour on the trolley
And lost my heart instead.
With his light brown derby
And his bright green tie
He was quite the handsomest of men.
I started to yen, so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again.

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley.
Ding, ding, ding went the bell.
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor.
Bump, bump, bump went the brake.
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake.

He tipped his hat
And took a seat.
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor.
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels.
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings

...anyone join in? :-D

:-D :-D. Yea I did :-D :-D

Carousel my all time favourite. And I still cry at White christmas (well parts of it).

Me too Ann, my daughter goes to bits with Beaches,
must admit I do to but there again I'm a softie with a
lot of things. :-D

Carousel is my OH's favourite Ann and I swear I see him 'filling up' when 'Soliloquy' is sung :-( :-D

I heard ya singing Emma...wonder if BC was too? :-D

How about Seven Brides For Seven Brothers??

Loved the dancing as well as the songs.

I wanted to marry Howard Keel but he turned me down :-( :-(

BC was going for it I heard her :-D

Barbs that's another one I've seen I don't know how many times :-)

Sorry I took so long in answering but DIL on the phone :-)

Mau i so hope you enjoy it. I've got the Directors Cut.

When i found it was an Italian film with sub titles.......i thought oh, i don't think i can be bothered with that. But actually it just wouldn't be right if it was dubbed over.

It is a brilliant film and the music alone is quite stunning.

I fall in love every time i watch it!! :-D

3 times actually.

Firstly with the young boy who is wonderful.....and then the gawgiss teenager.......and then by the end of the film, when the teenager is now a man in his 40's, i am sobbing me widdle heart out screaming..............marry me!!!

I will be interested to know what you think of it.

:-D :-D

Awwwww Prickles sounds lovely :-)

Here you go Emms.........

This truly is one of the greatest movies ever made. A masterpiece of cinema? that hit's you emotionally, bring's nostalgia and most of all show's you how beautiful life can be.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!


:-D

Looks good Prickles, as OH would say a chick flick :-)

Boys Town is my absolute favourite starring Spencer Tracey and a very Young Mickey Rooney......The first time I watched it was with Nan and Grandad.....makes me blub everytime.........There is a character in the film called PeeWee (Adorable)....

I remember that one Mersey, smashing film. :-)
