I love your blog and came over this morning to re-establish myself as a faithful follower!<br /><br />Lenny's lesson plans have been a delight. I love the way you wrote how you would explain silent films to a child, and using such a great movie as Keaton's The General. Stagecoach is a great that Lenny just has to know, and Singin' in the Rain certainly a must, for all the reasons you described. For Singin' in the Rain, Jean Hagen as the screechy Lina Lamont, Donald O'Connor in Make 'em Laugh, and Kelly and Cyd Charisse together in Gotta Dance are highlights for me.<br /><br />I had forgotten the hilarious Pappy advice in Maverick -- what a great show that was..<br /><br />Is it difficult to find the Happiest Days of Your Life. A movie with Margaret Rutherford about an English boys school named Nutbourne is one I would LOVE to see. She is a favorite of mine, and I also just love Alistair Sim.<br /><br />You are definitely the Grand Poobah for dear Lenny. My Dad used to use that title too, and I had to smile when I saw it!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-40264165485628286502011-06-22T21:51:09.265-07:002011-06-22T21:51:09.265-07:00How cute!

I remember watching "White Christmas," "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" when I was very young.<br /><br />Once I was babysitting a little girl who was either a year and a half or two years old. As I was feeding her, I turned on Wizard of Oz and she couldn't take her eyes off the bright colors! Children really seem to like that about the rich Technicolor tones :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-10522112572366196152011-06-22T19:06:25.317-07:002011-06-22T19:06:25.317-07:00Love the Essentials Jr. blogs this summer.

The old saying, 'where there's a will, there's a way', holds true. Godfrey, knew that...now that guy had the deck stacked against him. He was the forgotten man! Love Godfrey, Irene and that crazy crew!wimseybynaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556927481754480178noreply@blogger.com
