It's time we Aussies found a few movies to watch and rewatch as we end our year.
The Americans love to watch " It's a Wonderful Life " with James Stewart
My Number 1 suggestion is : Interrupted Melody ( 1955)
It' s the true story of Margorie Lawrence (Our most famous opera singer apart from Dame Nellie Melba ) If you need any encouragement, she shows up the famous Roger Moore in one of earliest roles in his career .A great family movie that has the great benefit of being true ( and even a little bit sad )
Marg was a horse rider from Deans Marsh in the Otways .So popular in her day she was the first to ride a horse into the flames in Wagners Opera ( who title i am sure YOU can find in Google )
You can always watch Home alone later , when you are all alone
And if Christmas is a bit of a fizzer, try " Anger Management" even if you have to watch it on your own again. It will do you good even if it doesn't reign its blessings on all who you see at this testing time of year.
There will never be a better time to end the year with a song that we share so well with those of the Jewish faith
" Shalom my friends " has a simple tune and you can all go around and around the group with " we will see you again . we will see you again Shalom ...Have a blessed Christmas and look forward to genuine peace in the new year.
