Movie Rave

My choice for my favorite movie comes from a very fond memory I have during my childhood. Initially, it was my father’s favorite movie, but after years of forming such memorable evenings solely based on this movie, it had become my favorite as well.

My father was a highly intelligent man who worked full days as an engineer and after long, grueling days at his manufacturing plant he needed some comic relief to relax and unwind. I can still recall the sounds of our hysterical laughter arising from the living room on the evenings we would watch it together (sharing special daddy/daughter time). I must point out to you that my father passed away several years ago, but this movie sealed the vision into my heart and mind. Sometimes it’s only just for a fleeting moment, but it’s amazing to just feel like I am there again – sitting on the old brown plaid sofa and my dad in his blue leather chair - both of us uncontrollably belly laughing.

My favorite movie is a family friendly feature that is extremely entertaining to any audience – young, old, male, or female.  This movie will provide whatever it is you are looking for.  Its versatility is appealing because it provides comedy, is action packed, has a stellar cast including three adorable children, and it even has a twist of romance.  I mean come on – everyone finds satisfaction in one of those categories.

I would suggest that anyone who is reading this publication right now, go home and get out your On-Demand  or Netflix and watch the Walt Disney movie “The Apple Dumpling Gang”, written by Don Tait.  Take an evening to enjoy good, clean fun that carries you through to the good ole’ days out west.  It paints a picture of the past that actually left me feeling as though I was standing at the swinging doors of the saloon watching the action take place.

So, give yourself a break, kick up your feet, and prepare to laugh. Hopefully, you will create an unforgettable evening.
