Movies are something truly amazing. There are literally millions of them. And honestly, movies are a wonderful way to unwind after a rough day. There is something awesome about sitting down or lying in bed watching a movie after a bad day. They are a good way to make you smile, laugh, or sometimes even cry. I love watching a movie that one of my friends recommends and just learning more about them thru their taste. These are five of my favorite movies. I’ve watched them hundreds of time and they never get boring to me.
- Beauty and the Beast
I have loved this movie since such a young age. It is a movie dealing with loving people, not based on appearances, but rather on personality. I have watched this movie over and over and over and love the music involved. The library in this movie always makes me grin from ear to ear. I don’t even have to 100% be watching it to know exactly what is going on. I own this movie on VHS and DVD both and feel I will never be able to let it go.
2. Jungle Book
The animated movie is great, but after seeing the live action one, I can’t even lie, it is my new favorite. It amazes me every time I watch it. The way it was done shocks me. It contains the same old songs and the same story line but seeing this little boy surrounded by all these computerized animals and I just can’t stop being amazed.
3. Freedom Writers
If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it. It is a wonderful story and maybe the reason I enjoy it so much is the fact it takes place in a high school. Each student has their own life story and it teaches an important lesson along the way to the viewer. This movie teaches that everyone is different. Everyone has their own story that no one entirely knows. This movie teaches that importance. It also teaches how community is something important. I love it! I love the story of the teacher teaching high school English.
4. Princess Diaries
I’ve watched this movie more times than I can count. I don’t know why I love it so much, but I always have. I enjoy the story line and I enjoy the actress who plays the queen. This movie is about a normal high school student who is trying to live her life and overcome the community around her. It is about this girl who is trying to ignore the bullies, overcome her fear of speaking in front of crowds, and overcoming the roller coaster struggles among her friendship. It is about a normal girl finding out she is royalty.
5. Cinderella Story
Another movie I’ve watched over and over again. This movie is an updated version of the Cinderella classic story. It’s a story involving the typical girl (Hillary Duff) cooking and cleaning and doing everything her evil stepmother and stepsisters cause her to do. She eventually sneaks out to a school dance where she discovers her prince charming.
So, the next time you just need a moment to yourself. Or you just need a moment where you need to cry, smile, or laugh…watch one of these movies. You will not be disappointed.
