Facta 30 Day Movie Challenge - Day 29
Day 29 – A movie from your childhood
The Sound of Music. My Mom took me to the theatre to see this movie. I was so young that I just remember enjoying the music and singing Do-Re-Mi afterwards. Didn't realize at the time that it was a story about a family and didn't know anything about Germans, the Nazi party, clothes made out of curtains and could care less about the love story. Loved the music!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - pure magic. When the car drove off the cliff and flew, the whole theatre stood up and applauded.
It was a big drama to get to a picture theatre in those days as we didn't have a car and we had to walk to the bus stop then catch two buses, about 45 minutes on the bus. The first time we went to see it the tickets had all sold out and we had to go and see another movie (Finian's Rainbow) then a few weeks later we went back to town and finally got to see it.

Snow White - I spent hours looking for apples that were red on one side and green on the other - then taking a theatrical bite out of the red side and fainting daintily and princess-like onto my bed. I would then lie on my bed sleeping like a pretty princess waiting for my prince to come and kiss me. He never did - usually it was my Jack Russell getting bored and jumping up to wake me and take him for a walk.

Whereas "The Day the Earth Stood Still" should factor, to this day perhaps the first studio big-budget sci-fi attempt.....
...as opposed to the first serious sci-fi attempt which, I think, should be given to RKO's "The Thing From Another World".
(we are talking 'Hollywood' of course. The first real spectacular sci-fi was the amazing "Metropolis")
....I gotta give it up for the first Japanese sci-fi that grabbed me. A film called "The Mysterians". Just wall-to-wall action. I loved that film.
BUT.....I also have to give it up for Ray Harryhausen's "Jason and the Argonauts". THAT film I remember watching on the telly in my Dad's sergeant's mess with a Coke in my sweaty palm. I was transfixed. The scene with the battling skeletons remains a ground-breaker to this day.
