Who does not recognize those famous lyrics? I have now watched the movie “Annie” at least 20 times. Believe it or not all these years later (it came out in 1982) it is still good. Maybe not after the 19th time but I can now almost tune it out. My not even 2 year old sings tomorrow and has even given it her own remix. My 5 year old knows not only the lyrics to most of the songs but at least half of the dialog. I remember worshiping this movie and of course wanting to be Annie and I must admit that I am getting joy out of seeing my girls love it like I did. In the spirit of sharing great musicals from my past I let my 5 year old watch Grease with me the other day. OOPS! Not the right movie for a 5 year old in case you are wondering. I found myself trying to catch her attention away during Grease Lightening and many other songs I forgot had some interesting lyrics. YIKES! My parents let me watch this? At eight!! Whoa. Next I let her watch “The Wiz” another one of my childhood favorites. Again, believing it was appropriate material for a 5 year old. I guess it was okay but munchkin land is much scarier in 1978 than it was in 1939 and my daughter was a little freaked out. Sharing our childhood memories with our children is so special too bad I have to remember to review mine before too much sharing. Anyone for “ Footloose”?
