It might not be readily apparent...

...but I love Billy Elliot (the movie and the show - which I caught in London and which will always be one of my best theater memories ever) a ridiculous amount.

It shouldn't be unexpected, it is a movie about dancing, and discovering who you are, and being that despite everything else (and there's a lot of tough 'everything else') and I recommend it highly.

Also, this made me grin from ear to ear for three whole minutes: Fascination by charmax78. Billy Elliot vid, catchiest tune ever, and just... it catches the whole feel of the thing beautifully.

Thanks to seperis for the rec that got me there.

\o/ You're welcome. That vid is so happymaking. :D

The show is a darn good adaptation, actually, it felt very true to the movie (though it's been a while since I've seen either; I think I'm going to try and get my sister to go when we head to New York in July, assuming it's still playing).

I'm sort of addicted to that song now, and its at least half memory of the vid. My officemate is very lucky that I'm refraining from whistling incessantly.
