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.
Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
I’ve already used several movies that came from books, and here’s another one!
Stardust (2007)
Based on Neil Gaiman’s 1999 novel of the same name.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)
I didn’t fall asleep during the movie, actually; I fell asleep with the menu screen pulled up. The music that plays there relaxes me. Lol.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
I’m not sure Tim Burton is my favorite director anymore, but he held the top slot for a loooooong time.
Beetlejuice (1988)
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 ❤️
Okay, when I watched Odd Thomas (2014), I already knew it would rip my heart to shreds because I’d read the book. I have cried during books before, shedding a few tears over fictional deaths or whatever, but I literally sobbed at the end of that one, and that unhappiness lasted days. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that the film had a similar effect on me.
Donnie Darko (2001)
Okay, I’m just gonna say it.
Queen of the Damned (2002) was an atrocious film, particularly if you had read the book. They left out so much that the movie didn’t exactly progress logically. However, the soundtrack was enough to – almost – save it. Hell, the scene in the tub while “Change (In the House of Flies)” by Deftones plays makes the entire film! Lol.
