Reading the negative reviews for this movie on Letterboxd just further prove to me that this site's community is a cynical, sad, broken Hellscape.

the hills are alive with the sound of hot, young christopher plummer

♫ pre-dict-able plot-lines and chee-sy ro-man-ces

o-ver-hyped clas-sics and mu-si-cal dan-ces

wild-ly an-noy-ing small chil-dren who sing

that will ne-ver be my fa-vo-rite thing ♫

... but, hey, it's hard to really, truly hate this.

this music did have some good sound

Imagine a movie like this, and you just get to watch it!

i swear to god i experience the full range of human emotion during the 2 minutes christopher plummer sings edelweiss

I haven’t even finished the movie at the time of logging this. This is probably my 16th time seeing this and the first time I’ve rewatched it in over 9 years. It’s also the first time I’m watching this knowing it’s about Nazi’s 🤣 

The music is just too good.

This movie makes having seven kids look like a really good idea.

As old as this movie is, it never gets old (and Julie Andrews remains THE queen of cinema).

In a similar way to how I feel about Singing In The Rain, this film is pretty much the cinematic equivalent of joy. Forget your cynicism, if you don't want to be happy that's up to you. But this movie is the best and Julie Andrews is a goddess decended from heaven

I just remember not liking it when I was a kid lol. Don’t think I’ll ever revisit this but I’ve seen bits and pieces of it over the years to know that I don’t like it.

The thrill I get when Captain Von Trapp tears up that Nazi flag is UNMATCHED

Captain Von Trapp could absolutely get it

It’s sweet but a little too long for me. Maybe I’m getting old but when a movie gets close to that three hour mark, I get antsy.

If you love musical films, this Is a must-see film that is packed with great musical numbers, excellent vocals by the lead actress, and great scenery. A Best Picture winner, this is the third highest grossing film in history (adjusted for inflation).
