Sigh.
How that happened I have no idea. So of course I now have to do some catching up on my catching up. Don't worry though I'm not yet giving up on my target of 365 movies in 365 days, even if it means that I have to watch 2 or 3 movies in one day. That's totally doable, right?
I have a feeling I'm going to need a steady supply of cold drinks and snacks to get me through .
Summer Holiday
Starring: Cliff Richard
Original release: 1963
Synopsis: Four young men take a double decker bus around Europe.
My friend Tosca is totally to blame for this one.
Which is okay because who needs acting when the songs are this catchy and Cliff looks kind of hot (who knew).
A movie to make you happy, bad acting and all.
Starring: Old time actors that I don't know
Original release: 1945
Synopsis: A family goes to the annual Iowa State Fair.
There are songs and a couple of love stories of will they or won't they end up together. And that's about all I remember.
Personally I enjoyed the stories of the parents as they entered various competitions. Will Pa prize pig win the ribbon? Will Ma finally beat her rival in the baking contest? Will the fruit mince get the judges drunk?
Riveting stuff.
Starring: Hayley Mills
Original release: 1960
Synopsis: A young girl moves in with her aunt.
One of those perfect Disney movies that every girl should watch.
Still love it.
Starring: Hayley Mills
Original release: 1963
Synopsis: A widow and her children move to the country
It's all about Hayley in this week's viewing and this is No.2.
I'm a sucker for these kind of movies so naturally I liked it. Turn of the century setting, a touch of romance and some great songs too.
Starring: Hayley Mills
Original release: 1964
Synopsis: While travelling through Crete a teenage girl stumbles upon a group of criminals.
Not as good as the previous 2 but still entertaining enough and Hayley has her first onscreen kiss.
Starring: Hayley Mills and that guy from Hawaii Five O
Original release: 1965
Synopsis: A sailor and his daughter search for buried treasure.
Hayley. Again.
This time in her first real grown up role playing an actual adult (she was 19 when she filmed this).
Enjoyable like all her previous ones.
Starring: Kurt Russell when he was a kid
Original release: 1968
Synopsis: A family moves to Dakota.
This is like the weirdness Disney movie ever. A musical. About politics. Like what the hell?
I managed to watch it all the way through. But seriously don't. Give this one a big miss because politics and musicals should never go together.
Starring: Doris Day and Gordon McRae
Original release: 1951
Synopsis: A teenage girl begins a romance with a college student, but his unconventional attitudes cause friction with her father.
Doris. Back before she did all those movies with Rock.
Here she plays a tomboy who falls for the boy next door.
Like most of this week's viewing it's nice, light, and fluffy.
