We'd Bring Back Me & You, In Part Two

I love watching movies. I find it weirdly calming, even if the move itself isn't necessarily a calm movie. Then again, it's not like I watch scary, gory flicks...I can't handle them. I'm a huge baby. I like romantic comedies and some "action/suspense" stuff (and by that I mean like...Armageddon, Air Force One, etc.)...so really nothing very hardcore. The scariest movie I've ever seen is probably The Village. And that was on accident, cuz I didn't know what it was about. I like trilogies/series...I guess I like being able to watch the continuation of characters and/or storylines I really like. Today's flicks include Dazed & Confused, and The Mighty Ducks trilogy. I do love sports movies...which is weird because I don't really like watching sports. I also kinda love Joshua Jackson and Emilio Estevez. (EMILIOOOOOOOO!!!)

Anyway, you can't usually go wrong with Disney. I can't anyway. I love everything Disney...Disney movies, Disney music, Disney World/land...all of it. My husband thinks half my brain is still a teenager. He may be right. But I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with that. I've always been told I'm fairly mature for my age as far as life matters and whatnot, so I think it can be a good thing to have a childlike view in some cases. What's the harm in liking silly pop music, or silly movies, or wanting everything to have a happy ending? Not that I'm naive; I'm well aware that life isn't just "happily ever after" ... things don't work that way. But how much simpler was everything when we were young, and without responsibility, without worry? If some form of entertainment allows us to escape the pressures of the real world for a few minutes, an hour or two, what's the harm in that?

Anyway, I thought that I'd make a list of some of my favorite movies. Just for fun. Cuz I'm sure you're dying to know. But, if you haven't seen any of them, you should check them out. Netflix is pretty great...and if you watch movies as much as I do, you definitely get your money's worth, haha. Leave me some good rec's in the comments section. Just remember I don't do scary, yucky or sucky. ;)

  1. I swear your list of movies looks almost identical to mine, except I'd include Twilight w/ commentary and Pirate Radio.

    PS ~ I love Joshua Jackson. I'm not ashamed to admit I own the entire Dawson's Creek box set...and I love who Joey picked in the end. ;)
