I could have written nearly every word of that post myself, marshamae , so similar to mine are the feelings and experiences you described. Although I may perceive weaknesses that escaped me as a kid, once I like a film, it tends to stay liked.
One particular holiday season in my youth, I was watching Holiday Inn the day after seeing White Christmas on another channel. My father walked through the room and asked, "Didn't you see this just yesterday?" I explained they were two different movies, and he said, "It's got Bing Crosby and he's singing White Christmas." That was all he needed, ordering, "Go outside and get some exercise."
Since we lived in Southern CA, it's not as cruel as it sounds to throw a kid out of a warm house into the dead of winter.
