I absolutely love movies. To almost a disgusting level. My collection doesn't come close to those who have walls of movies (I had a friend who's movie room, the walls from floor to ceiling, were nothing but movies!) but I started my collection a few months ago and I'm up to almost 300 movies! I've been playing with the idea of doing reviews but for now I thought I would just post some of my favorite movies for starts!
This movie. Ugh this movie. I watch this movie every time I start to have any doubts about love, any time I'm not feeling well, or anytime I just need a little bit of hope! The entire movie is in French with the option for English subtitles. If I'm not mistaken its based off of a book and I would love to read it but I've yet to find a copy of the book translated to English. I wish I cold read French because I'm sure the translation of the book isn't as good. "Tells the story of a young woman's relentless search for her fiancé, who
has disappeared from the trenches of the Somme during World War One." - taken from imdb.com as a very brief description of the movie. My favorite quote from the movie comes from the very opening scene and reads as follows:
"If Manech were dead, Mathilde would know. Since the death notice, she subbornly holds on to her intuition , like to a flimsy wire. She never gets discouraged. And Mathilde is of a cheerful disposition. If that wire doesn't lead her to her lover, never mind...she can always use it as a noose."
When this movie released I thought "Meh. I could watch it." and I patiently waited for it hit my Netflix Que. I didn't have high hopes for the movie, figured it would be the movie that you just kind of go "Well...I guess I could buy it but only after it hits the $5 bin at Walmart." Oh my god was I wrong. This movie had me laid on my stomach, with my face in my hands, staring at the screen. I was completely sucked into this movie! Emma Watson (Sam) did a wonderful job and it was a bit unexpected to hear her pull off an American accent, there were words you could tell she struggled with but the fact that she is stunning makes up for it. Logan Lerman (Charlie) is breath taking. He portrays the shy, nervous, outcast freshman perfectly. Ezra Miller (Patrick) is everything I want him to be as Patrick. Now I have yet to read the book, I've started it and I'm okay with it so far but I stay so busy that its hard for me to have the time to sit down and read. With that being said, I could not picture any other actors for this movie. Emma, Logan, and Ezra are absolutely perfect. You will be able to relate to the movie and its characters. You will laugh, you will cry, your heart will break a little, and you will fall in love. "An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world." - imdb.com
Mary Elizabeth: (After Charlie has handed them a bag of gifts) "Wait a second, there's only Secret Santa presents. There's rules!
Patrick: "Mary Elizabeth, why are you trying to EAT Christmas?"
Patrick: "Mary Elizabeth, why are you trying to EAT Christmas?"
I have a mild obsession with music inclined movies. Its a little hard to decide which one was going to make the list but I had to go with "Burlesque" because who doesn't love Christina and Cher? I'm a sucker for the come up movies where the lead character starts with nothing and really makes a name fore themselves. I also have to give credit to Cher who is like...God I don't know how old and she is STILL working it and killing it!! Then you have Christina who is just...to die for. I remember growing up listening to her! The catchy songs, the amazing costumes, and the shoes are any woman's dream. "A small-town girl ventures to Los Angeles and finds her place in a neo-burlesque club run by a former dancer." - imdb.com
"Every opportunity has a shelf life"
