BBTW: It’s movie time

I really thought I would be better at http://rambleramble.com/2013/07/28/bring-back-the-words-prompts-link-up-week-7/">Ginger’s Bring Back the Words
challenge. Two prompts a week? I can totally churn out those posts. HA. Turns out life gets in the way, as does laziness. BUT this one I can totally do. My 10 favorite movies. Done.

1.       Newsies: THIS is my favorite of all time. I know it’s silly, but it’s my old friend. I know all the words by heart and could recite the entire movie right here, right now if you so wished it. I get that creepy nostalgic feeling when it’s on (or when I pop in the soundtrack).

2.       Empire Records: A very similar feeling. This was my high school love. I quote from it constantly.
3.       Cutting Edge:  Okay, so I have a soft spot for cheesy 90s movies.

4.       Center Stage: And also cheesy 2000s dance movies. My husband won’t watch these things with me.

5.       Mallrats: This was my favorite Kevin Smith movie, although I love them all – even the one where J-Lo dies.

6.       Overboard: Yes I know this is always on, but I will always watch it if I flip by. I also love Housesitter but that is much harder to come by.

7.       Labyrinth: The one and only time I thought David Bowie was sexy.

8.       Juno: I fell in love with Ellen Page and Michael Cera in this. Also, I love the soundtrack.

9.       You’ve Got Mail: I have an unhealthy obsession with romantic comedies. I put this on the list because it’s probably my favorite but seriously. I could make a list just for romantic comedies. Or teen romantic comedies too. I have a serious problem.

10.    Cruel Intentions: I don’t know why. I love Reese Witherspoon (see unhealthy addition to rom-com). This is my college years. Something comes over me when I hear the first beats of Color Blind, and she’s going up the escalator and Ryan Phillipe is at the top wearing that bright blue shirt…


What are your favorite movies?

Ha! Proof that somehow we were separated at birth. Or that we're Doppelgangers. I have never seen Empire Records at all and I've never seen Labyrinth all the way through. And I can only stand Mallrats in small doses. (I like Kevin Smith, but I CANNOT STAND Jay and his unnecessarily foul language and so I avoid almost all movies that include Jay and Silent Bob. This saddens my husband.) But all the others... right there with you.
