Irresistible Movies

March 6th, 2013

Last night I settled in to start a new TV series (House of Cards) that all of my friends have been raving about. But after realizing that Garden State was also on, I ditched my initial plans and watched the last 47 minutes of the movie. It reminded me of a tweet that Kelly wrote last week – about those movies to which you can’t say no. No matter how many times you’ve seen them (or in the case of Garden State, actually own), you simply can’t resist the urge to watch them when on TV. I had so much fun thinking about her question that I wanted to pose the same one here:

Which movies make your list?

Here are mine, in no particular order:

1. Love Actually
2. The Departed
3. Good Will Hunting
4. I Love You, Man
5. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
6. La Bamba
7. When Harry Met Sally
8. Jaws
9. Dumb and Dumber
10. Romeo and Juliet

Danielle
1) Now and Then
2) My Girl
3) It’s Complicated
4) Crazy Stupid Love
5) Mona Lisa Smile
6) Stepmom
7) Easy A
8) Jumanji
9) Ferris Buellers Day Off
10) Romy & Michele’s Highschool Reunion
Yerani
Pan’s Labyrinth
Family Stone
21 Jump St (don’t judge me)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Chocolat
Jo

Not going to lie, I agree with SO many of these but would have to add Good Morning Vietnam to this! xo

Mine are (in no order – that would be FAR too daunting a task):
1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Emma
3. Under the Tuscan Sun
4. When Harry Met Sally
5. The Departed
6. Remember the Titans
7. Exotic Marigold Hotel (recently)
8. The Intouchables (recently)
This has got my brain going… there are so many more, ah!!
