If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Song and dance is definitely not my thing. However I've seen this movie dozens and dozens of times overs the years. It never gets old... if you have never seen it it's well worth your time. They just don't make them like this anymore. Rent it or buy it, a true classic that is perfect from start to finish...

A great musical with beautiful songs! Julie Andrews is a fantastic singer and actor, and it is fun to see her in her younger years. I don't believe the film would be as good without her, she is perfectly suited to the role. Most of the child acting is decent, which can usually really impact a film.The songs are absolutely classics and for a good reason. All further the story and fit, and they must have great song writers. Also, the settings are phenomenal with the mountain being iconic scenery now. Costumes are very nice, and reflect the mood of the scenes. However, the cinematography is basic but I think it is mainly due to the time period and equipment. Just overall an amazing classic that everyone has watched or needs to!

I like music. Crassics, pops, rocks and more. I also like playing the instruments and singing song. Anyways, I love music! So I like this movie so much. story is good, of course, but I think that good points of this movie are music. In this movie, many famous musics plays. I think the movie is masterpiece. I like Sixteen Going On Seventeen. This song is so cute and it is the best of songs in the movie. I watched this movie when I was a high school student at first time. I played Sound of Music Medley in regular concert of my club activity(wind orchestra) in high school. Music make the world to peace. This movie will makes us happy. I want to see this movie again,now.
