A few of my favourite series and movies

I thaught that, since I made ''A few of my favourite books'', I could make one of movies and series. So now is the time to make one.

1.

Of course, the one and only......Downton Abbey!! Not only season 2, but all seasons(although I don't like season 4 so much).

2.

Emma (2009). A mini-serie.

3.

Little Dorrit BBC. Also a mini-serie.

4.

Robin Hood BBC (all seasons).

5.

Cranford (also Return to Cranford).

6.

Lark Rise to Candleford (all seasons).

7.

North and South BBC. Mini-serie

8.

Road to Avonlea. We have only seen this one, but there are more, and I'm sure I would like those too.

9.

Love Comes Softly series.

10.

Anne of Green Gables. Only season one and two, the third is just...not good.

11.

Sherlock. Even though it sometimes really creeps me out.

12.

The Musketeers BBC. A bit too violent for my opinion, but still a nice serie.

13.

Wives and Daughters.

14.

August Rush.

15.

Holes. Ha, this one. We must have watched it at least nine or eight times. Okay, maybe just five or six times.

16.

Duma. Love this movie, it's really great. (By the way, Duma, the cheeta, doesn't talk or anything like that)

17.

Newsies. Great musical.

18.

Letters to Juliet. Maybe a little bit too much Romeo and Juliet and ''they live happily ever after'', but I still like it.

19.

Pride&Prejudice (2005). I know, I know. How can I ever like the 2005 P&P?! Sorry, I really do like it.

20.

Secondhand Lions.

21.

Stick It. To me, it's one of the most enjoyable gymnastics-movies, together with Full Out.

22.

Soul Surfer.

23.

Cinderella (2015).

24.

Sense&Sensibility 1995.

25.

Sense&Sensibility 2008.

Well, it appears that it wasn't just ''a few'', there were a lot. Not quite what I had in mind. But never mind that. And I didn't include everything, that would go on endlessly :)

THE END.

The Sound of Music (musical)

I thought I could make a review about ''The Sound of Music''. The musical. When I was little, I watched it many times. Always loved it, although my siblings might not have seen it ;-)

Some of the characters.

Maria Von Trapp.
Julie Andrews is very young here. I saw a movie with her older, named ''The Princess Diaries''. She plays very well and can sing pretty.

Captain Von Trapp played by Christopher Plummer. I didn't like him so much. He was to strict for his children. With the whistle...

The children Von Trapp.

Liesl, the oldest girl.

Friedrich, the oldest boy. Charmian Carr (who plays Liesl) had to wear heel shoes to be longer than him.

Louisa, the second girl.

Kurt, the second and last boy. Maria forgot his name the first night.

Brigitta, the third girl. I always forget her name.

Martha, the fourth girl. I couldn't find her alone, so I picked a picture with her and Gretl and cut Gretl out(the white area).

Gretl, the fifth and last girl.

Baroness Elsa Schrader. She is not one of the children Von Trapp, of course. She wanted to marry Captain Von Trapp and scared Maria away because she said that Captain Von Trapp was in love with Maria. Not so nice of her. But she isn't that nice. When last, she stands on the balcony with the captain, she understands and is nice for a while.

THE END.

Recognize the movie/serie

This is a game. I was inspired by A Girl's Place. I would like to make a game like that myself, I thaught, so here it is....
