Coltrane made me a fan of SoM. My Favorite Things is one of the best songs ever.

Oh yes, the Coltrane version is great. Suddenly it becomes bitter sweet. It's a subtle mood change. And what great piano playing on the particular track.

One of my brothers really, really, REALLY likes Sound of Music (and I suspect him to consider Julie Andrews as the Ideal Woman). For my part, I remember having watched this movie wen I was a kid and... couldn't bear it.
I stick to West Side Story: the story has more resonance to the urban child I was, and I prefer the songs. If I wanted to hear a musical set in the Alps, I would write a musical version of Heidi.

I went with West Side Story because I liked the theme and mainly because of Natalie Wood. |
And that's a good enough reason. Also WSS has the best song of the two ("Somewhere") + the Jet Song, Something's Coming and America.
Mind you, SoM has goats.

Heavens, my brother sings this song with a perfect imitation of the goats, it's nearly disquieting.

West Side Story. Coltrane's rendition of My Favourite Things is a masterpiece, but the Dave Brubeck Quartet did something equally remarkable with songs from West Side Story.
