8. The Sound of Music (1965)
WWII was not a happy time and Austria not a fun place when Germans decided it belonged to them, the setting for The Sound of Music. That doesn’t stop the film from being one of the brightest and most inspiring movies ever. And when Maria (Julie Andrews) meets Captain Georg Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), the horror of Nazism, just for a while, seems to fade. I fell in love with Julie Andrews during the film and the feeling has never faded. Certainly one of the best musicals ever, and one of the best films, it’s easy to watch The Sound of Music as many times as you like and never get tired.
