30 Day Blogging Challenge: Day 19
Hello, hi! You are STILL here? That's awesome, thank you for your company.
Day 19: Your Favourite
Movie
I bet ya’ll are
expecting some kid of French movie that you cannot pronounce or some kind of
complex, intricate, unheard of movie that will BLOW YOUR MIND. I’m
not much of a movie person, you won't find me anxiously waiting for a movie unless it involves superheros (shout out to DC!) or black women. When it comes to movies, I’m a pretty
simple girl who loves chick flicks. The ones that have you rolling in your bed,
in tears, clutching your chest, contemplating if you’ve ever really been in love.
I mean, I know I come off as a thug *brushes shoulder* but I’m really a big
softie with an even bigger heart.
The movie I keep
coming back to is P.S. I Love You.
Maybe it’s because it combines my love of
words with love itself.
Maybe
because I DEEPLY relate to Hilary Swank’s role as Holly.
Maybe it's Denise....
Maybe it's because I know Gerry would love me despite my nasty temper.
Maybe it's Gerry....
I don’t know, I don’t know! It's probably all the above!
All
I know is that I cry every single time I watch it and I can quote it, line for
line.
For those who
haven’t watched it, it’s about a woman whose husband dies of a brain tumour and
he sends her a bunch of letters from the grave (he wrote them while he was sick),
taking her on a bunch of adventures to help her move on with life, without him. It’s
filled with love (both platonic and romantic), the soul crushing portions of
life and some good humour.
It has an
IMDb rating of 7.1, I know some of you care about these things, I don’t but I had
to let you know. It is also based on a novel I am yet to read. The book is always
better than the movie, so I'll be on that as soon get my hands on it.
I just love, love, LOVE,
love stories! The ones where you can see that the main character has TRULY been
loved and that it changed them in a positive, meaningful, impactful way as true love
should (not that Twilight bullsh*t). I love directors who can do this in
diverse, creative ways but even just a boy meets girl story will melt my heart
and flood my eyes. If you haven’t watched it, please do. Other movies I KEEP
watching include (most of these are based on books):
The Last Song
He’s Just Not That
Into You
The Vow
The Time Traveler's
Wife
Eat Pray Love
The Fault In Our
Stars
The Perks of Being a
Wallflower
Poetic Justice (A
FAVE, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!)
Valentine’s Day
The Notebook (duh)
Do you have any movies that you'd like to recommend based on my preferences? If so, please let me know!
I know the men reading this post may feel a little excluded so i just want to ask you a very, VERY important question....
DC or Marvel?

Ahhhh!! The time traveler's wife is among the best for me. I love love movies based on novels, and I do agree that the novels are usually better. I guess it has something to do with the fact that you imagine the scenes yourself. But yes, reading is so much better.
ReplyDeleteAnother all time favorite of mine is Love and Basketball. Ever watched it? If you haven't, you really really should.
The one with Common? if so then I love that movie, it had the whole love/homie thing going on! Yeah, it's probably because we get to imagine things ourselves and it takes someone special to make it better than how we could ever have imagined it.
DeleteHey, curious guy here and I have two answers. Watch The Age of Adeline, made my heart weak and my eyes feel like taking a shower. DC or Marvel? Depends on who's Fighting who and/or What Movies are on the list. Both universes are amazing but they have produced some questionable films I must say.AAAghh But in the end it's DC man :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay valid, like I have a feeling that the Justice League Movie will be better than Suicide Squad?The Age of Adeline, I will totally check it out, thank you Curious Guy.
