I've reached my limit with "The Sound of Music." Last time it was on TV I waited until the "you are 16, going on 17" song ended and went to turn it off, only to discover my husband (who'd never seen it all the way through) was enjoying it. Said he felt like singing along, a rare thing for him.

I love "Fatal Attraction" but can't deal with the ending. They should've released a DVD with the original ending intact to give people a choice because the original was perfect. "Goodbye Girl" and "Tootsie" I'll always watch again, both of them have that insiders view of show business that's so fun, like "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "White Christmas" and "All That Jazz."
