The Santa Clause (1994)
I love everything about this movie, and the feel-good ending just caps a positive watching experience. I especially love Neil finally getting his Oscar Mayer weenie whistle.
I’m not the overly romantic type, so this one’s difficult. But…maybe because I just watched it, or maybe because I’m a bit of a sucker for the bad-boy-turned-Romeo trope, I’m going to choose 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). I don’t know how “in love” they were, as high school kids; however, this movie does get me feeling like I want a cutesy relationship.
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Director: Frank Capra
I’m not sure Tim Burton is my favorite director anymore, but he held the top slot for a loooooong time.
Beetlejuice (1988)
I’m gonna do my favorite actor(s)/actress from the classics, then my more current faves.
First would be The Philadelphia Story (1940). I said in an earlier post that you can’t go wrong with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Well, add in Jimmy Stewart, and you basically have perfection.
More recent actors that I enjoy include Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall, and they are a near flawless pairing in The Judge (2014).
Since I’ve already mentioned my love of all things Guardians of the Galaxy, I’ll choose something else for today.
Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
I thought this might be difficult, but it really wasn’t. Harvey (1950) is a movie that is very personal to me. Not so much because I relate to any of the characters or the plot; it’s more about the memories I connect to this film.
When I was little, I would always wake my brother up at some ridiculous hour like 3 or 4 a.m. on Christmas morning. My parents had set a rule, though: we couldn’t wake them until 7. So he and I had to do something to kill the time, and it soon became tradition to watch Harvey every year. In fact, my parents and I didn’t watch it this past Christmas because we’re waiting until my brother visits in February. We’ll all watch it then ❤️
Let’s be honest: you can never go wrong with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn.
Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Aside from Coraline? Well, I’m currently watching Spy (2015) for the thousandth time. This movie never fails to make me laugh.
I’ve wanted to be a music journalist since I was fourteen or so, and traveling with a rock band would be the best! That leaves only one choice for day five.
Almost Famous (2000)
Mostly Music
