I hear they're going to remake it with Jessica Alba as Mary.


I'm joking.

I love this movie, too. It always leaves me with such a lump in my throat when it ends. You want her to stay, but you know she isn't needed anymore.

Julie Andrews is perfect in this film. So is Dick Van Dyke. And I've always wanted to live on Cherry Tree Lane. But not near that sea captain, he's crazy!

I always thought the movie lagged when the kids go to the bank and it gets pretty dark (literally) after that. But they pick it right up again with the 'Step in Time' number.

I like Disney's take on this story for the film. The book is pretty heavy in places and Mary isn't all that pleasant always either.

I think it's one of my all time favorite Disney live action flicks.
