They don't make family movies like this any more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Poppins_%28film%29 And there is a bit on American history as well: Mr. Dawes Jr: In 1773, an official of this bank unwisely loaned a large sum of money to finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies. Do you know what happened? George W. Banks: Yes, sir. Yes, I think I do. As the ship lay anchored in Boston Harbor, a party of the colonists dressed as red Indians boarded the vessel, behaved very rudely, and threw all the tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking. Even for Americans. Mr. Dawes Jr: Precisely. The loan was defaulted. Panic ensued within these walls. There was a run on the bank.

This is inimitable entertainment, and belongs on anybody's list of perennial favorites: one of those few special films you can watch over and over through the years. I would love to see this film retrofitted to 3D.

It's a classic. I bought a VHS, then a LaserDisc, then a DVD of this movie. Am I nut? My family enjoy watching so often so it worths every penny!

I'm not a big fan of musicals but this is a pretty good must-see Children's classic. The parts that are animated are surprisingly good considering how old this movie is.

Jane banks: Wanted, a nanny for two adorable children. Mr. Banks: adorable! That's debatable I must say!

Mr. Banks: Just a moment, Mary Poppins. What is the meaning of this outrage? Mary Poppins: I beg your pardon? Mr. Banks: Will you be good enough to explain all this? Mary Poppins: First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear. Mr. Banks: Yes? Mary Poppins: I never explain anything.

Mary Poppins: [singing] Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down. Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in the most delightful way.

Mary Poppins: You know, you *can* say it backwards, which is "docious-ali-expi-istic-fragil-cali-rupus" - but that's going a bit too far, don't you think? Bert: Indubitably!
