Still RocknRolling!

Apologies first for the recent pause in posting. I had internet problems then got lazy

.

It was my Fathers 60th Birthday in "realtime" recently. Would you believe we had a Rock n Roll themed party (held May 2nd). To help with costume ideas Darren and I rented the Greece DVD. I'd totally forgotten how great it was and have watched it near a dozen times since. I fall more in love with John Travolta each time and sing (screech) along louder each time (yes, Ive extended the weekly rental twice)! Emma came to Dads party. We still dance together when opportunity presents, she always doing the "boy" part. I asked this time whether we should be concerned that at 32yo we're still RocknRolling! She replied bluntly, "No". Ok

Question: What movies were particular favourites in your Youth? I recently came into alot of movies and have been able to, with MUCH excitement, re-visit many of mine. Over the Top with a hot, young Sylvester Stallone. Short Circuit, certainly Greece, Jewel of the Nile, Dirty Dancing...just to name a few.

Oh, definitely Grease as well. Also on the list would have to be The Secret of NIMH, The Sandlot, Dirty Dancing, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, and so many more. p.s. Over the Top takes me back to movie nights with my dad. Good times.

Dirty Dancing! Directly after I published this post I went on a hunt for it and was sitting down to watch 60mins later. Love it love it. Labyrinth was one I saw many times too...and Ive just remembered Neverending Story.

I'm so bad at remembering names.
But Grease was popular, Dirty Dancing, Top Gun, all the 80ties stuff I guess :)

A belated happy birthday to your Dad. I'm glad you guys had such fun :)!

I wonder what movies this generation 20 years later will be remembering? Presumably the ones out now but there's so many. Hard to imagine what, if any, will one day be considered classic.

Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck and the Italian landscape of the fifties is breathtaking.

Keep up with the blog. It is brilliant.
