Trying to decide what movie to watch can take hours when you don't know what to look for. Below I have created a list of movies that I can never say no to. Choosing ten favorite movies is more difficult for me than it should be. Each story is so unique and brilliant in its own way that choosing favorites is impractical and seems unfair, so I decided to go with my ten go-to movies instead. These are movies that I have watched more times than I can count, but no matter how many times I watch them they never disappoint.

10. "Little Miss Sunshine"

This story follows a family that is made of all types of damaged goods. However, the members of the Hoover family try to maintain sanity, in order to support the youngest member, Olive, and her dream to win the annual Little Miss Sunshine pageant.

Olive wins your heart immediately with her innocence and kind heart, lending understanding to why everyone in the family drops everything and hops into an old VW van to drive her to the contest. Along the road, anything you can imagine going wrong goes wrong, and moving forward with what they have is all they can do.

I love this movie especially because it reminds me that there is always a way for things to get better. It is such a great demonstration of strength through times when you feel all hope is lost. Dwayne has incredible self-control and indignation towards his personal hell, yet his softness and compassion for his little sister always bring tears to my eyes. The contrast in his character and the changes he endures throughout this movie is one I always watch for inspiration to never give up on what I want.

Though, as stressful and tense the Hoover family's situation is, I can never help but laugh as they run-start their van and all hop in. This movie redefines quirky for me and that is why it never disappoints.

9. "Me, Earl and the Dying Girl"

This treasure is based on the novel "Me, Earl and the Dying Girl" written by Jesse Andrews, and as I said at the beginning, reading the book first would not hurt at all, in fact, it may make watching the movie LOADS easier. The title itself tells the audience that the plot for the story is not exactly cheerful. It follows Greg Gaines through his last stretch of High School, along with his best friend Earl, and of course a dying girl named Rachel.

Greg is a master at staying at a comfortable and safe distance from every type of group in high school, from the nerds to the jocks, and that is how he has survived. Greg only has one friend; Earl. Though Greg would call Earl more of a colleague than a friend, seeing as they mostly just eat lunch together in a teacher's office and make funky spin-offs of classic movies. Enter Rachel. She stops coming to school as she undergoes her treatment and Greg is forced, by his mother, to be her friend. But by the end, the friendship is clearly not forced at all, as he spends every day with her.

From what I have found there are very few decent stories that have a male lead and a female lead who are just friends without any type of romance involved. This is one of those stories, only it is far better than "decent." Greg has a pure love for Rachel as a friend and that is what I love most about this story. I watch this when I don't want to deal with sappy love scenes or quotes. Don't get me wrong I love the scene from The Notebook where Noah "wants all of [Allie]...forever!" But if I just want unfiltered friendship with stupid jokes, this is the movie I go to.

8. "What We Did on our Holiday"

"What We Did On Our Holiday" is an English wonder. I love the ensemble of actors and actresses in this film all the way down to the young children. The adults in this movie clearly butt heads, but for the children's sake they try to hide it: They are not very successful.

The parents of the Mcleod family are getting a divorce, but when they travel up to Scotland for the Grandpa's birthday, they want to keep it a secret from the rest of the family. The eldest child, Lottie, is forced to become a little more mature as she knows what is going on in her family, but is frustrated that her parents refuse to tell her everything. Her grand father is the only exception and never treats her like a child, until she finds out he is in the final stages of cancer and their entire trip is flipped upside down.

The children are the true heroes in this story, as they provide the most innocent comic relief that cannot help but make you smile. The youngest, Tess, is classic when she refuses to leave the house without her best friend -- a brick. A large brick. I love this movie purely because it reminds me what it was like to be little and exceptionally naive.

All the children want is a fun vacation, and the adults try their hardest to keep it that way. It so relatable to any family, as every family has their troubles they have to fight through. This feel good movie is honestly good for any mood and will bring you both laughs and tears!

7. "Dirty Dancing"

You cannot make a go-to movie list without at least one classic, and "Dirty Dancing" has to be the one for me (though sixteen candles is definitely another great choice). I don't know how anyone living the 21st century can still be ignorant to the jewel that is Dirty Dancing!

It is thirty years old this year and still a summer masterpiece. Baby (Jennifer Grey) is a modest daddy's girl, who never breaks the rules. This is her last summer before she joins Peace Corps, and hopes to end her youth with a bang, but instead, she is dragged to a non-youthful resort with her parents and sister.

It is here, however, that Baby meets Johny-- a sexy dance instructor played by Patrick Swayze. By recruitment, Baby becomes Johny's new dance partner for the big dance at the end of the summer. Sparks fly and the two cannot help but fall in love, only she does not want her father to find out. This secret affair lasts all summer and Baby discovers the person she really wants to be through Johny.

Baby's transition through this movie is the highlight to me because, she goes from a timid, obedient girl, to a rebelliously fierce woman. It is amazing what a little adventure can do to a person. Not only that, but this is every girl's dream, to have a passionate and wonderful summer love and there is no other movie that captures that better than Dirty Dancing.

6. "Amélie"

I love watching foreign movies. Every culture is so different, but all people are linked by the same emotions. Foreign movies present that different culture attached to familiar emotions like love or fear or heartbreak and allows viewers to see them in different ways. Amélie allows you to view love seen in French culture and the French language.

This movie is in French so, if you cannot speak fluent French, like me, then you will have to read subtitles, but it never hinders your experience of the film.

Amélie is the definition of an introvert with hidden quirks and ticks that I just adore. She grew up as a child alone, as she was unable to attend school because of a falsely diagnosed heart condition. She longs for human connection above all else, but is never successful, because she is so different from everyone, and has never had any practice.

One day, while in the train station she is caught off guard by another peculiar soul who is digging for something under a Photo Booth. She sees him again soon after, but this time he is chasing someone and loses a book out of his bag. Amélie then uses this to send him on a scavenger hunt to get it back and eventually meet her. But she is scared because she thinks that once they meet he will dismiss her like so many before him.

Amélie is mischievous and compassionate in a way that is only seen by the audience, and it makes the audience want to be her friend immediately. You feel lonely with her as she stares longly out the window as a child or mischevious when she messes with the rude store manager. This movie always tickles my funny bone and I do believe it will be a classic one day!

5. "What If"

Daniel Radcliffe has been in the hearts of many for years as Harry Potter, but this rom-com gives him a new lovable name. Wallace has had a handful of relationships throughout his life and from them, he has formed a very cynical outlook on the subject of love.

He attends a party at his best friends house one night, and that is where he meets Chantry. Wallace and Chantry form an instant connection and become quite close. There is just one problem; Chantry has a boyfriend. They both fight their romantic inclinations towards one another, in order to keep Chantry from cheating or Wallace from breaking them up.

Both characters are so sarcastic and every dialogue exchanged is filled with witty banter and ridiculous jokes, so it is only natural that as a watcher you want them to end up together. Yet, there is also respect for them as they try to moral and do right by the other person by just staying friends. Wallace and Chantry understand each other perfectly without any explanation, which is why I am so attached to this movie. All anyone ever wants is to be understood and accepted by your significant other, and I love that through both of their dysfunctional personalities and pasts, they grow closer together rather than farther apart.

This story is so creative with the comedic timing and character building that by the end of the movie, you love everyone. There is not one character in this movie that gives you a sour taste in your mouth by the end of the movie and it is so satisfying when films end this way.

4. "About Time"

Here is another English film for the repertoire, with a hint of America thrown in there with Rachel McAdams as the leading lady, Mary; the love interest of the main character Tim.

Tim is twenty-one when his father tells him the family secret; all the men in the family can travel back in time. Tim, of course, does not believe him at first, until he tries it for himself and discovers that he truly can travel back in time.

The story follows this tall, awkward red head fumble through his life, and how his time travel ability affects his life day to day. Sometimes time travel helps Tim's life allowing him to "redo" an event, but sometimes it makes the situation hilariously worse.

About time is a lovable rom-com, but it also discusses the meaning of life through all the time that Tim travels, and that is why this movie has made my top ten go-to movie list. No matter how much time you have, it is all about how you spend. The greatest happiness comes from spending time with family and creating unbreakable bonds with people, and this movie highlights that perfectly. Tim discovers that he can travel back in time, and still all he wants is to find the love of his life, and I could watch his struggles to get there anytime!

3. "Man Up"

Yet another English film, but this one caught me by surprise. Lake Bell does a marvelous job creating both tear-jerking and cringe-worthy moments so that when the credits began to roll I felt sad. I wanted more of the lovable awkward chemistry between Nancy and Jack.

Nancy is in her mid-thirties and has had very poor luck when it comes to dating. She has a beloved sister that keeps her positive and tries to get her "to put herself out there" but it always goes horribly wrong, until she meets Jack.

Nancy meets Jack under the clock in Waterloo station, where Jack is supposed to be meeting a blind date. Nancy decides, on a whim, to pretend to be his blind date for the day. The movie follows the couple around London, running into old partners, and school friends, causing trouble wherever they go.

Simon Pegg does a fabulous job feeding the absurdity of the blind date, and Lake Bells facial expressions and reactions are priceless. I laughed and cried with the characters, and fell in love with this movie instantly. This is an easy watch for any time of day and any time of year!

2. "The Hundred Foot Journey"

There is so much about this film that I love. From the setting to the cast, to the writing, to the imagery. I honestly can't get enough. The Kadam family is first shown in India, at their restaurant, but as certain events transpire the mother dies and they find themselves moving to France to start new.

While driving through the countryside, the brakes on their van break. The lovely Marguerite then pulls up to the rescue them and pulls the van into a quaint French town. While their brakes are getting fixed, the father catches a glimpse of a building for sale that is perfect for their restaurant. The only problem is that there is a restaurant just one hundred feet away that has a Michelin star.

Hassan Kadam is the eldest sibling in the family and tries to convince his father that opening a restaurant here is impractical, but the father will not have it any other way. Friction quickly builds between the two restaurants, as they passive aggressively fight with one another through the mayor. However, it eventually becomes known that Hassan is a truly extraordinary cook which causes a different kind of friction between the restaurants.

I have always envied cooks. The way they know what ingredients to use and how much without a recipe is astonishing, and I love watching that genius brought out in this movie. Both restaurants have an art to cooking, but the arts differ because of the culture they come from. My favorite part is when Hassan mixes his own spices from India into a French recipe and creates something incredible that no one had tasted before.

France is such a beautiful place, and the village that the movie is filmed in enthralls you immediately. Not to mention, the wonderful market and food dishes that they create. All the colors are so vibrant, that you cannot help but love this movie. All the characters are built in such a complex way and the transformations each makes is so delightful to watch!

1. "Pride and Prejudice"

To end this list, I am going full sappy love story. The book is absolutely amazing, but it is from the Victorian era, and more difficult to read, but if you like a more challenging read, then definitely read the book and then watch Kierra Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen bring the story to life.

Elizabeth Bennet is the second eldest sibling among 5 girls. She is a confident and stubborn woman with her head constantly in a book. One day the Bennet household is turned into giddy chaos when a wealthy, eligible bachelor, Mr. Bingley, moves into an estate nearby.

The family attends a ball in town, in the hopes of meeting the exciting new Bachelor. They do indeed get their wish, but also meet his unpleasant friend Mr. Darcy, whose demeanor is cold and arrogant. The family takes no liking to Mr.Darcy at all, however as time travels on, Elizabeth's constant encounters with Mr. Darcy develops a changing attitude.

I don't think it is any secret, even to those who have not seen this movie, that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth fall in love, but it is not about the end result that makes you want to keep watching, it is the journey. The on-screen chemistry between Knightley and MacFadyen is palpable and their banter is biting but flirtatious leaving every scene dripping with hidden affection between their characters.

But what sells me the most in the movie is the spectacular sound track. From the very opening scene to the ending credits, the classical piano music is astounding and lures me into the movie even further. It creates a peaceful old-England setting without even having anything to look at yet. Personally, the piano is my favorite instrument, but even if it isn't yours the sound is so elegant, it makes you feel as though you truly are floating through England in the 19th century!

There are many more brilliant movies that I love to watch, but this concludes my list of 10 go-to movies. The movies I watch are constantly changing, but these movies always seem to be on my recently watched list. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
