#40 The Sound of Music
1965
Director: Robert Wise
Starring: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer
Rogers and Hammerstein's classic musical... This movie just makes you feel good when you watch it. You know that everything will be ok somehow, even in the face of Nazi's coming into Austria, ruining the life the VonTrapp's have come to know. My favorite scene is the last one at the abbey when the two nuns confess to "sinning" and then take car parts from beneath their robes.

# 41 King Kong
1933
Director: Merian Cooper (uncredited), Ernest Schoedsack (uncredited)
Starring: Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot
I watched this movie on a plane ride home to New York, and couldn't have loved it more... This movie when viewed in 1933 was probably way ahead of its time in terms on special effects. People were probably in awe when they first saw it! I had seen this or parts of it when I was much younger, so I didn't really remember it other than the Empire State Building scene. I loved the personality that they were able to give to Kong, the subtle things like his curiosity about the other giant creatures he kills and even the hair on Kong blowing and moving in the wind while he's on the top of the empire state... All in all, the movie was sad. You can't help but feel bad for King Kong. If you haven't seen it, you need to! Classic.
Trivia: King Kong's roar was a lion's and a tiger's roar combined and run backwards.
