movies, go-to list.

do you have movies you watch over and over...and...over again? if i can't sleep at night, i pop in one of the same 10 movies that i rotate constantly. if i'm sick on the couch, i do the same thing. i have a top 9 movie group that are my favorite movies everrrr (emphasis on the ever).  yep, just 9 because i couldn't choose just one more to be the 10th, hehe. they may not be extremely deep or interesting films. well actually, none of them are. most of them are chick flick funny. you know, the perfect combination of cute and funny and weird. those are my kind of movies.
so here is my list of go-to movies. whether i am sad, can't sleep, sick, happy...i have a movie for it all.

a lot like love.

i can't really explain why i love this movie so much and why i can watch it over and over again. it's one of those movies that makes you want to meet a weird, quirky guy in the airport and create a bond that spans over years, ultimately leading to you both confessing your love for each other that you have been hiding for so long, or something like that. perfect boy and girl meet in a super fun sort of way. boy and girl go their separate ways. boy and girl meet up throughout the years and go through different relationships but come back to each other in the end. so perfect and this movie is the reason i fell in love with ashton kutcher. oh, and awesome soundtrack! watch it!

and one of my fav parts in the movie (below). who doesn't like a car jam sesh, right?

next up...

breakfast at tiffany's.

the only reason i first chose to watch this movie was not because i was some huge classics buff and appreciated old-er films. i just really really love audrey hepburn. it took me awhile before i could actually get through the entire movie without stopping at some point (shame on me). now, if i can't fall asleep i put this movie on. i love holly golightly and her mysterious, nomadic ways. totally made me love this movie and all the great quotes you get from it. ps: fav part is audrey strumming along and singing to moon river in her windowsill. made me love that song.

right in the beginning (one of my fav scenes!):

because i said so.

i love this movie for three reasons. 

1. mandy moore and the fact that she runs her own catering business. so want to be her in this movie.

2. the guy in the movie. his suave, artsy, musician character and his tattoo on his hand. seexxxxay. i love him.

3. the polka dot dresses.

it's a total watch with your mom on a friday night while making brownies, kinda movie. 

super cute part:

here we go, getting more girly (you can vomit if you like):

the wedding date.

in college, i used to put this movie on every night with my roommate and we would just watch it, cry about our love lives (sometimes ; )) and totally fall in love with an older man (dermot mulroney). i have this thing for dermot mulroney and i don't think many girls can deny it (come on you know you like him too). anyway, this movie is the perfect chick flick. it's short and sweet, funny, and sad at some points but it has a happy ending (duh). plus, who wouldn't like a male escort falling in love type of movie? haha

hocus pocus.

gahhhhhh! if you know me at all, you know how much i love love love halloween. it's my favorite holiday. i love costumes. i love scary things (except movies, you don't catch me at a scary movie). i love halloween parties, pumpkin carving, hay rides, haunted houses...i can go on forever. anyway, i watched this movie as a little kid and die (not literally) every year when it's on tv around halloween. i actually record it and watch it over and over again, the entire month of october (yes, issues). 

it is the perfect halloween movie and pretty creepy for kids ( i don't know how i watched it when i was a youngin'). bette midler is the best wicked witch. love it!

sidney white.

amanda bynes. that is all. modern take on snow white. hilarious and kind of stupid/weird but i don't care. if i'm in a bad mood, i put this movie on and it instantly cheers me up. i wish i lived in the vortex in college. watch it, you'll know what i mean : )

mystic pizza.

i'm cracking up at my embarrassment for posting this movie but oh well. classic julia roberts movie that i honestly just found a few years ago and fell in love. it's old and weird, to put it simply but i get hooked. i think it's the quiet beach town, julia roberts gutsy character, and her weird sister's relationship with the professor/father. i know, i'm confusing you but just watch it. this movie made me want to find mystic pizza and have a slice. 

serendipity.

ahhhhhhhh. i've watched this movie at least 20 times. i can probably recite the lines. it's terrible and pathetic actually but it is my favorite. serendipity is my favorite word. i had to go there after watching this movie. this movie made me fall in love with new york (but then i quickly lose that love once i get caught up in the hustle and bustle). although i am not a huge fan of john cusack (i know, i know)....i love him and kate beckinsale and their cute love story. this is  definitely a movie you watch when you hate your love life because it is so disgustingly cute that you'll find some hope in yours, hehe : )

bridesmaids.

if you haven't seen this movie, you need to. the funniest group of women in a movie. i loved hang over but this movie is a close rival in humor. this one has been in my dvd player for the past two weeks. i literally just play it every night until i am ready to fall asleep. it's kind of sad. i sit there and just laugh to this movie by myself and can only hope my wedding will be just as hilarious minus helen because i can't with her.

what are some of your favorite movies?!

xoxo

happy friday night and have a great saturday : )
