[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Aug 30 2004, 01:08 PM'] SOME WOMAN!!?? You mean Mary Martin? :sadder: (she's Larry Hagman's mom, you know)

Or did you mean the later production with Sandy Duncan. (She has a glass eye) [/quote]
Mary Martin. I don't follow movie culture, I just watch movies.

I don't know who Larry Hagman is, either... :unsure:

[quote name='Azriel' date='Aug 30 2004, 12:56 PM']old Danny Kaye movies ... The Inspector General and The Court Jester.[/quote]
I LOVE the Court Jester! It's hilarious!

I also love Danny Kaye in [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044685/"]Hans Christian Anderson[/url]. :)

Both of those are musicals. I don't know if you like musicals, hsmom, but my family does. We especially like:

Meet Me In St. Louis
the Music Man
Singin' in the Rain
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Sound of Music
Oklahoma!
Fiddler on the Roof

Bedknobs and Broomsticks! I was obsessed with it when I was little. Plus it has nothing morally distasteful in it whatsoever (unless you don't approve of magic - but it is Cinderella type magic, making suits of armour dance and so on).

Well now I feel incredibly ancient...

"Joseph and... Dreamcoat" was HSdaughter's favorite musical when she was like four. I had the cd (from the broadway production) and she memorized the entire thing. She could have had the part of the narrator in any local production. Then, while she was still in that phase, one of the high schools did it. We went, she loved it.

Keep 'em coming guys... I'm making a list...

and TCW, Godspell? really...?

Phrom what I saw (DIDN'T SIT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING RAPH :angry: ) it had a good message and wasn't overtly heretical. The "interface" is somewhat unorthodox, but appeals to my right brained sense of aesthetitcs. It makes me want to do a St. Francis.

I loved movies about the saints. There was a company called CCC, I don't know if they are still around or not, but I do see some of their movies hanging around at my freinds houses.

My favorite was 'The Day The Sun Danced- About Our Lady of Fatima' I can't remember any more titles, but I saw one about St. Patrick, St. Fransis, St. Nicolas and other saints.

If I remember correctly, Godspell ends at the crucifixion... that's it THE END... everyone back in the VW bus...

That was Jesus Christ Superstar. I didn't watch the end of Godspell, but it was way more inspirational than Jesus Christ Superstar.

60'S AND 70'S DISNEY MOVIES

Ernest Goes to Camp------ This one is a little rude. Rest are not.

Ernest Goes to Jail

Ernest Scared Stupid

Ernest Save Christmas
