Ha, The Sting. I took that album to my music class in sixth grade for a “bring your favorite album” day, and was firmly told by mean Amy Hosie at recess that everyone had hated my album. That’s when I really started realizing that most people’s taste might be for shit (that was also the year that “Three’s Company”…

I love his score for A Zed and Two Naughts, and listen to several tracks from it regularly to this day.

That’s the one song of hers I just don’t really care for, I don’t know why. I’m a big fan otherwise - check out her cover of “The Three Bells”. I used to play it over and over and over and over and over. Also her solo album “Forget About It”, if you don’t know it already. “Ghost In This House”...brrr (I grew up on…

I had to re-read the header on this post to make sure I hadn’t written it myself (seriously, it’s happened before). Julie Andrews still seems like just about the most beautiful, perfect thing ever to me. I hope you’ve seen her in “Cinderella”, and watched the clip of her on a talk or variety show in the 1950's singing…

My gay teenager’s brain had the same take. Though it wasn’t as boring as “Footloose”.

That’s...adorable - beyond adorable. 

I almost listed Blade Runner, but just couldn’t quite do it, since the query seemed to be stand-alone movie soundtracks sold on separate media, not just favorite scores. I’ve never owned (or heard) a commercially-released recording of it that I’d call a favorite, but I did hook up my stereo to a rented laserdisc…

I figured I didn’t need to say anything, but I did do a doubletake.

I remember the Star Wars radio program, though I didn’t listen to it religiously.

My first favorite as a child was “The Sound of Music”, which my sisters and I basically had memorized long before we ever saw the movie (this was long before it was shown on TV for the first time, but several years after it was first released - we went as a family to see it in the theater when it was re-released in -…

No, not that one.

I thought the episode where...I can’t believe I’m spacing his name...where the guy who was pining for his wife really broke from reality and started pretending he was her was brilliant, and really showed the nuance you’re talking about. It was horrifying and funny and moving, especially the way they continued to…

Recognizing Khan as Laotian immediately did a lot to redeem him right off the bat though, when everyone thought he was going to freak because of “Japs”. Still, addressing Peggy as “Hank’s wife” was never not infuriating.

Yes indeed again.

Yes! Exactly.

Now THAT was a movie. I didn’t care to see Gladiator - I mean, I saw this, what did I need to see Gladiator for?

Lol - a very good friend of mine recently said that, just like that. I’ve known her for years, but not back in the King of the Hill days, but I knew she was quoting it. And she was. That episode, with that quote, was hilarious and heartbreaking. Bobby was a good kid.

Also, Peggy Hill reminded me very very very very very much of my sister - Boggle and all. People like that, that you love, you just can’t scream at them to just shut the fuck up because nobody cares about their endless, oblivious, empty-headed prattle about every god-darned thing under the sun that just happens to…

I have to say, I really loved this show, consistently over its entire run. It was the rare sitcom (animated or not) where the characters changed and grew, a bit. It was REALLY rare for an animated show to do this, but I especially remember things like Dale and Nancy’s marriage becoming stronger, and her romance with…

Exactly! After watching the long version I started to watch the theatrical with a friend, and I kept waiting for the things I remembered that I knew he would like and the scene would pass without it. The tipping point was leaving out the mother getting dizzy at his concert and saying “Well, nobody ever died from a…
