Thread Name: BS: Movies to avoid
Subject: RE: BS: Movies to avoid
I was only pulling your leg Ron. I will stop now.
I love it when songs are integrated into movies. "I Walk the Line","La Vie en Rose", "Ray", and "Great Balls of Fire" were great films. My favorites are movies where the theme of a song or songs and the movie are played out in parallel to a satisfying end, "Casablanca" (As Time Goes By), "A Trip to Bountiful" (Softly and Tenderly), and The Graduate (Mrs. Robinson and others) are classic examples. I also admire some of the older musicals like The Wizard of Oz and Singing in the Rain. But I find the newer musicals, such as "Chicago", Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King to be far to corny.
Among my movies to avoid is "Moulin Rouge" Toulouse LauTrec and disco. What were they thinking?
