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.
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.

And applauding your decision not to reward the Johnny Depps of this world.
Dumbo! I thing everyone knows Dumbo. Every kids, and grownups, favorite :)
I remember Roy Rogers from my childhood.
And Ladyhawk! A period of time on Internet my Alias was "Ladyhawk". I loved that story. So many years have passed since then. I´m glad you reminded me. :)
Take care.
I've never seen any of the films you wrote about, but I loved your drawing of Cochise. And no, I've never seen any Johnny Depp films, either. Bad boys don't interest me. Not HIS kind of BAD, at least.
A wonderful
Look back at your favourites Andrea, great memories.
Dumbo is my darling and I still say to my darling today if I keep his ears on for a long time, you fly away like the dumpo now and we always laugh. Great selection of movies.
I wish you a nice weekend and stay healthy, hug Elke
...of course I remember Dumbo and the actors, some of the movies I don't remember! Thanks for visiting my blog Andrea.
Hi Andrea! Love this post!!! I saw Broken Arrow and it was the only movie I didn't like James Stewart in! I didn't like his "heavy" character! Funny huh? Because I love him in so many other movies. Your drawing of Chochise is great! I agree with you about Depp. I was a huge fan until the crap came out...no pun intended. He's just trying to smear campaign that poor girl. Anyway...Oh LadyHawke...I'd forgotten about that movie! I saw that when it came out! So cool that you named Izzy after Isabeau! I only saw one Roy Rogers film, I think that Gary Cooper is one of my favourites in that style. Oh btw, I haven't figured out how to properly upload photos to IG through my computer anymore. I have to use my phone. If you have a smart phone, email me and I'll help you out!
