Your favorite and least favorite song(s) from this movie?

I love this movie and have ever since I first saw it several years ago on Christmas Night. I enjoyed all the songs, in varying degrees. But even the songs I like least, I still like.

My favorite songs in no particular order are Share the Joy; Things I Will Not Miss; and Question Me An Answer. My least favorite songs in no particular order are Living Together Growing Together; Where Knowledge Ends; and Reflections.

Here is the list:

Lost Horizon ;
Share the Joy ;
The World Is a Circle ;
Living Together Growing Together ;
I Might Frighten Her Away ;
Things I Will Not Miss ;
If I Could Go Back ;
Where Knowledge Ends ;
Question Me An Answer ;
I Come To You ;
Reflections.

Now ignore the singing voice(s). Just focus on Burt Bacharach's music and Hal David's lyrics, and tell me:

What is / are your favorite song(s) from this movie, and
What is / are your least favorite song(s) from this movie?

I look forward to hearing from you. Peace! And remember... stay and share the joy!

On the list of the songs that you do not like is called Reflections - sounds like a great perception!

The songs that Richard sings (I know it's dubbed) are very tedious and boring. Where Knowledge Ends has an annoying tune and is preachy.

I like every other song, and Share The Joy and Things I Will Not Miss are the two best ones.

Mountains rise - mountains fall
You have nothing more to prove - you have climbed them all!
Of course - Maria had 100 years to climb them!

This is a very enjoyable film that was panned by the critics - I can't see why.
