What is it about "Sound of Music"

I'm watching "Sound of Music" on network TV. What is it about this show that makes me watch it every time I see that it's on? Is it the music? The love story? The general sense of warmth? All of the before?

No matter what, I enjoy watching it. It's a calming, happy traditional movie. It never changes. The lyrics are as familiar as always. I even find myself singing out loud to certain (if not most) of the songs.

(Completely related...my cats have left the room [and the floor] to escape the sound of my singing.)

Favorite scenes:

• Maria's singing on the hills.
  
• Maria's first appearance at the manor.
  
• Liesel and Rolf's dance to: "I am 16 going on 17...".
• The thunderstorm scene with all the kids.
  
• The dance...where the Captain and Maria dance (oh, the tension).
  
• The dance...when the children say goodnight (love the parody that Family Guy does too).
• Scene where Georg and Maria confess their love.
  
• Perhaps one of my most favorite, visually speaking,...the scene with Maria in the cathedral as she walks down the aisle with long train flowing as she steps toward the Captain.
• Singing at the festival...when they win and don't appear.
  
• The scene in the cemetery with Rolf...not sure why this is...but it is...something about the setting and the tense situation.
• And of course the scene where they cross the mountains by foot.

Anybody else watch it or have a favorite part?

Anyway...this is a favorite and I hope you enjoy it too. If not....well... :-p  Auf Wiedersehen to you and you and you.
