Day 02: A movie you can recite word for word.
Victor Victoria (1982)
When I initially read this prompt the answer my brain automatically supplied was “so so many.” Seriously, most of the Disney classics, plus a bunch of other films I grew up with would fit this question. So I ended up just choosing a film that wouldn’t show up anywhere else on this list. Because many of the movies I know by heart will appear in other places on the list, and it’d be a shame to leave this one off as it is one of my all time favorites. I actually would have put it as “best movie musical” (day 18), except for the fact that I don’t really consider Victor Victoria a musical in the strictest sense of the word. Yes, it has a shiton of songs, but they’re all performances within the context of the story. The characters are in show business, and they sing on stage. Nobody sings spontaneously as themselves.
But anyways, VV is one of many movies for which my love is inherited from my mother, and which I therefore started watching way before I was old enough for it to be really appropriate. Consequently, I grew up knowing every line from every scene, and I still do. What’s my favorite? Anything and everything uttered by Lesley Ann Warren. As a child my impression of LAW was not her innocent and pure Cinderella, but rather her whiny, petulant, bimbtastic, sexually frustrated, short tempered Norma. Thanks mom.
