Summer is all fun and games until a rainy day comes along. No more beach, no more morning hike, often times it's difficult to find something fun to do on a rainy day. These movies are vary in genre but definitely pass the time watching by yourself or with friends and family when the rain has you stuck inside.
1. 50 First Dates
This movie is a rom-com classic. It's a non-traditional romance story with tons of funny scenes and moments to make it a re-watchable favorite.
2. Legally Blonde
The stereotypes of sorority girls and college are exaggerated beyond belief in this movie, in a hilariously upbeat film. When Elle experiences heartbreak, she finds herself and realizes that she doesn't need a man to make her happy and successful.
3. Cinderella (the new live-action one)
I was hesitant to watch this movie. It's a classic fairytale that is over-adapted and over-used in movies, and so, I was not looking forward to seeing yet another Cinderella story. However, this movie was great. Somehow, the story came alive in a much more real and romantic way than I had ever seen before, and kept me focused in on the TV the whole time.
4. The Princess Bride
This movie is such a classic. It's a movie that even my father, the man who rarely watches chick-flicks despite having three daughters, enjoys watching from time to time. It's an adventure story more than a love story, and so is easier to get the men in your life to watch with you.
5. Grease
Everyone loves singing along to the catchy music in this amazing musical. It's so fun to watch the dancing and playfulness of the plot play out.
6. Heathers
This is a darker film. It starts out light and fluffy, and focuses on typical high school drama, but, as the movie continues, it takes a turn for the worse, and constantly keeps its audience on the edge of their seats.
7. The Last 5 Years
This movie is a hidden treasure. Not many people have heard of this movie, let alone heard the music from it. This is my favorite movie. I love everything about it and could watch it a million times. It's a musical that takes place from two peoples' point of views. One person's time line moves forward, and the other's backwards, telling the events of their relationship in a period of five years.
8. Jurassic Park
Everyone needs to watch Jurassic Park at least once in their lives. It's an amazing and completely out-of-the-box adventure story that never gets old. (Plus there are lots of fun- yet not as good- sequels to watch too!)
