I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#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. 

 Trivia: Julie Andrews almost turned down the part of Maria, fearing the character would be too similar to Mary Poppins. 

 Up Next: Dr. Strangelove
