13 Great Movies You Probably Forgot About That You Need To Watch Again

It's movie night, and it's your turn to pick a movie. But you can't think of anything. Don't worry. Below I have complied a list of 13 really great movies you can watch again and again, and they're ones you probably forgot about.

1. "Across The Universe"

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time, and just so happens to be a musical. This movie follows teenagers during the Vietnam War, and it incorporates a bunch of Beetles songs. Stop reading this article now, go watch the movie, then come back and finish reading this article. You won't regret it.

2. "Riding In The Car With Boys"

Anytime I don't know what to watch, I throw this movie on. It's one of my mom and I's favorites. I've probably watched this movie a hundred times. Just go watch it.

3. "Uptown Girls"

I recently rediscovered this movie (on Netflix) after YEARS of forgetting about it. This movie made me want to get a pet pig, Egyptian cotton sheets, and date a guy who could play the guitar.

4. "Confessions Of A Teenaged Drama Queen"

If you ever found yourself at age 8 really really wanting to be Lola (Lindsey Lohan), you aren't alone. Her life was just so beautifully tragic, or was she just dramatic. Watch to find out.

5. "Legally Blonde"

In just a few short months, I will start applying to law school. I would be lying if I said Elle Woods didn't help to inspire me to go to law school. I would also be lying if I said I haven't watched this movie a million times.

6. "Blue Lagoon"

This movie is not like the others, but still must be watched again and again. This movie was the first movie to make me cry. I'm still crying. WHY DID THEY EAT THOSE BERRIES?!

7. "Knocked Up"

This was my baby sister's favorite movie when she was three. I don't know why. How did they get her fake pregnant belly to look so real? I don't know how.

8. "Never Been Kissed"

Any Drew Barrymore movie from the early 2000s, no, ANY movie Drew Barrymore stars in must be watched again and again, including this one. If you could get another chance at high school, would you take it?

9. "Father Of The Bride" Part 1 & 2

These two movies are the kind of movies that make you say "That was cute" when they end. I've always secretly hoped my mom and I would end up pregnant together because of this movie, but shh, don't tell her I said that.

10. "Cheaper By The Dozen"

I think the only reason why I love this movie so much is because my last name is Baker, and so is the family's in the movie. Get it, a Baker's Dozen. I love that.

11. "Look Who's Talking"

This one is OLD. But it is seriously CUTE. Ever wonder what happens in the mind of a baby, or a dog. Wonder no more. This movie has it covered.

12. "Big Daddy"

Adam Sandler, and baby Dylan and Cole Sprouse, what more could you ask for? I'm still laughing about when he covers the kid puke with newspaper, or dresses up like Scuba Steve. What a classic.

13. "Meet The Parents" (and it's sequels)

Before Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers, there was Meet the Parents. You guys, he gets nervous and tells his fiance's parents he milked a cat. Everyone can relate to that.

I have grown up watching all of these movies again and again. While trying to escape the heat this summer, lock yourself in a dark room, turn the A/C on high, and let the binge watching begin. You're welcome.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
