Musicals.

I love musicals. Old ones. I don't like the High school musical (which I sat thru and had to endure whilst baby sitting, uhg...) But I LOVE the old ones. They are so much cleaner than any movie, even children's movies that are now playing in theatres, plus, there is actual GOOD singing. Here are some of my favorites:

Every year in August we pull St. Fair out, because our county fair is in August,
And this movie gets us "In the mood". Well, we are usually
completely excited months in advance before the fair, I should say that this movie
just hightens our excitement ;)


Another favorite, all though my family members don't share my same zeal
for Fiddler on the Roof. I actually saw a high school put on this production
about a year ago, and it was awesome! Yente made the show, in my opinion.

Tootie is my favorite. Plus "Meet Me in St. Louis" is a fun song to belt out
at the top of your longs :D

All though My Fair Lady is EXTREMELY long, it is great.
''Jist you waoit 'enry ' iggins...''

I love the songs in this one... 'nuff said.

Actually, Brigadoon kinda gives me the creeps now that I think about it.

This is one of my all time favorites, all though I decided I don't really care for Gene Kelly.
I guess its the way he comes across on screen...seems sorta...Stuck up.
Lina Lamont more than makes up for my dislike of Gene Kelly though:-)

I haven't seen Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in ages... its at my sisters house... Still a favorite though:-)
My sister Anna and I are going to be house sitting tonight, and are most likely going to
take this over to watch... We'll actually be able to watch what we want
without little brothers complaining about it. Its either this one or the long Pride and Prejudice.

There you have it :-) I highly recommend each and every one of these, so if you are bored and decide to pick up a movie or something, I would check and see if they have any of these!
