****My personal favorite classic is "Sound of Music".....I saw that for the first time when I was three years old, Mom and Sue and I wore matching dresses. I can still remember sitting in the balcony and loving every minute of the singing and dancing!

And who can fail to be inspired by the Von Trapp family defying the Third Reich and climbing the mountain to freedom? And Maria and the Captain, finding true love! And the music, and dancing...loved it then, love it now.

The stage play is even better I discovered as an adult. I wanted to audition to be a Nun, but I was pregnant at the time. Katherine did play Gretl for over 40 performances and I never once tired of it.

***My second favorite is "Field of Dreams" because the main character did the outrageous and stuck with it, no matter how seemingly ridiculous it was!

He listened to his hunches (literally!) and had a great support team in his wife and daughter and his *traveling companions*.

James Earl Jones was SOOOOO outstanding in that role! And the little girl who played Karen, I loved her! Whenever I see her now I say to myself, "Come back as Karen!"

***Finally, this summer I saw 'The Patriot'. Two of your countrymen in that one, Dien. They were both fantastic! For the first time ever I felt WAY too old watching Heath Ledger, but thats another story!

My favorite line:

Sister in law: "You have done nothing for that you should be ashamed"
Benjamin (I think that was Mel Gibson's character's name)"I have done nothing. For that, I should be ashamed."

Terrific commentary on following a Cause, staying the Course and turning the tides on a LOST cause.....I cried extremely hard, and had to come back a second time to take notes and be aware of when to leave if it got too bloody. The music by John Williams really was a terrific supplement as well. The second go around I could shut my eyes and simply listen to the music which helped....a lot!

Anyone else I wonder?

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE
