I was reminded once again last night why this is my favorite movie of all time. I arrived home just in time to catch the last 15 minutes on AMC.
I have seen this movie at least 50 times and I still cry at the end. When we got our first VCR, this was the very first movie I bought.
I am generally a 70’s rock type of girl (The Who, Queen, Pink Floyd). But when “To Sir With Love” comes on the radio nobody is allowed to speak until it’s over. I love it.
Sydney Portier is incredible in anything he does. (I will forgive him for the sequel, which sucked).
I first saw this movie when it was showed on TV in the early seventies. And while I don’t break down and cry when I see it now, that beautiful theme song instantly takes me back to those days. Hell, I even get chills (I’m getting them now) just thinking about the melody and the great lyrics.
I have not seen the movie (it’s on my list, but the list is very long), but I hear the song regularly. While it’s a neat song, it’s very difficult to sing along to because the phrasing is so odd.
