FIDDLER ON THE ROOF


This movie was one of my favorites long before I had children. The songs, yes, but the insights into each of the characters are so poignant. And guess what - I ended up raising 5 daughters. Who knew (from the movie Angels In the Outfield).

The songs are catchy - and endearing. Just the right blend of humor, drama and action. It epitomamized the changes from one generation to the next; and how historical events such as polgrams, war and ideology influenced one generation over another. Who can forget “If I were a rich man” or “Sunrise,Sunset”? One of few films which I can watch over and over - and never get tired of.

This is a great movie!! Everyone should definitely watch it. Wonderful singing and music; you’ll see why when you watch it :)

SULLIVANS TRAVELS? WHAT THE? ABOUT HALF OF AFI’S SELECTIONS SUCKED OR I NEVER HEARD OF. THE STORY OF AN OLD HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS (SOMEWHERE AROUND #16)? LOTS OF ELITISM HERE. WE NEED A PEOPLES’ CHOICE LIST. I DON’T EVEN LIKE MUSICALS AND I CHOOSE FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. THE MUSIC AND STORY IS SUPERB, ESPECIALLY THE FRUSTRATION THE FATHER IS PUT THROUGH WITH HIS DAUGHTERS SET IN A BACKDROP OF HISTORICAL UPHEAVAL.
CLUE: IF 10 OF 100 PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT IT DOES NOT BELONG ON THE LIST. TOOTSIE, SOME LIKE IT HOT, AND CABARET. CROSS DRESSING AND WEIRD SEXUALITY ARE DISGUSTING.

Titanic is on the list and this isn’t? That makes no sense to me! Do I really need to explain?
