Just a stupid little thread....Does anyone else like the movie Fiddler on the Roof?

One of my favorite lines from the movie is when the people of Anatefka ask the rabbi if there is a blessing for the czar, and he replies..."God bless and keep the czar....far away from us!"

That's a great line. There are so many of them. I never used to like the dream scene, but, now it's one of my favorites. I also think the scene where he is sitting at the train station with the middle daughter before she leaves for Siberia. It's so touching.

I've never seen the movie version, but I've seen it performed live a few times and I love it. I always walk around signing if I were a rich man.

Mugsy....do you mean when he says..."He asks you to leave your father and mother and join him in that frozen wasteland?" "No papa, he does not ask me to go, I want to go..."

So many lines from that movie!

Love the movie! And I have exceptionally fond memories of the play, because my high school chorus performed it when I was a sophomore (I played an anonymous villager).

Imagine, if you will, a bunch of small-town Midwestern kids with 1970s hair portraying a villageful of Russian Jews.

That would be it Sara!!

I like Fiddler on the Roof.I was watching it last night.

So were Moosmom and I....her in Michigan and me in Indiana!!

I also loved the movie.
I thought the part where he and his wife were
in bed, and he had tricked his wife in believing
his bad dream of her dead mother was a bad omen.
So his eldest daughter did not have to marry the old guy.

That was great!!

They're about to sing Sunrise Sunset

My best friend played that song at her wedding. By the time it was over, everyone was bawling.

I've never seen the movie, but my brother was in the play in high school.
