Big Screen
Dumbo was probably the first movie I ever saw and I'm pretty sure I was too young to remember it. It was responsible for my years of elephant collecting however and my stuffed Dumbo was my "binky" :)
Roy Rogers was my favorite cowboy and when we played outside, I always had to be Roy. My sisters fav was the Lone Ranger. We used to argue about who was better. Truth be known, I liked the Lone Ranger too, but I would never admit it.
It was about this time in my life (1950) that I learned
from my Grandfather that we had Indian blood in our
family. I was very excited since Cowboys and Indians
were a big part of my life (I was a tomboy from day one).
So when I went to the movie "Broken Arrow" I was
enthralled with Cochise who, as far as I was concerned,
was the star of the movie. He must have made a big impression on me because he was the first star I thought of
when Rain's prompt was Big Screen.
This movie just captured my heart ... it was a sad love story but, of course, it was about a hawk and a wolf, so it was a given that I would love it. And it had the Frisian horse which made it even better. I named Izzi, our dog, after the princess ... Izzi's full name is Isabeau :) I had every intention of drawing pictures of all the leading men, but it didn't happen, sorry :(
As, once upon a time I was a Johnny Depp fan, I, of course, loved these movies. But, I have to say that, though I like his movies, I am very disappointed in who Johnny Depp has become. So time will tell, but there's a good chance I won't go to any more of his movies. I don't want to support his bad behavior.
None of my movie choices are Block Busters or even wonderfully artistic, but I tried to choose movies that I liked for my own reasons all through my life. I could have done more with this, but ran out of time so hope you enjoyed the little bit that I accomplished.
