willman   10 #133 Posted July 24, 2019 I've watched several movies over and over again however the quickest was my wife. She starting watching The Wedding Singer on dvd whilst doing the ironing as the film finished she turned the tv over to Sky just as The Wedding Singer was starting and watched it again.

I shall look forward to seeing the remake version, but I hope they don't make too many changes especially with the music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hauxwell   243 #139 Posted July 28, 2019 I went to see West Side Story on stage at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle a few years ago. I expected to come out of the theatre thinking the singing would be no were near as good as the film, but I was wrong. The singing and choreography was just as good as the film, it didn’t disappoint one bit.  There is some lovely songs from these old musicals. I like Rodgers and Hammerstein, they have wrote some lovely musicals. I’ve listened to some of their songs on YouTube a few times.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The ending was sad when all of the Jews were given notice to leave their village.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

steved32   55 #144 Posted July 29, 2019 I watched The Third Man, too. Superb cinematography, acting...and that theme tune...atmospheric or what.  Also watched Whistle Down the Wind. Beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
