Classics in short: The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music -

After all the references made to the musical classic in pop culture, from a wide variety of sources (from Family Guy to every 5th grade music class), I wasn't sure if I needed to watch this the whole way through, which I never had. I knew most of it, right? Well, I bought it for my wife for the holiday, and I was surprised to see how enjoyable a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical from 40 years ago remains today. I get why it's so famous - it's probably the best musical ever, at least classically. Plus, it's fun to see Christopher Plummer in his hunk days, not grizzly and old and telling people to send a car, you imbecile.
