8 Small Movies You Should Add To Your Watching List

These somewhat smaller films are very unique with their cinematography and scripts. They all have amazing acting and tough roles to play. Here are 8 small movies you should add to whatever movie lists you have built up.

1. "T2 Trainspotting"

Giphy

"T2 Trainspotting" is the sequel to Trainspotting 20 years later. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) goes back home and meets up with his old buddies who aren't at first happy to see him. It was a perfect sequel to the amazing Trainspotting movie and was neat to see the cast back together. It always has the aesthetically pleasing and trippy cinematography that was featured in the first film.

1. "Dom Hemingway" (2013)

Tumblr

Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) served 12 years in prison and seeks payback for his time spent and to reconcile with his daughter (Emilia Clarke). Dom Hemingway is a wickedly good drama with dark comedy. Jude Laws shows incredible talent in this film.

2. "Feed" (2017)

FanForum

Olivia (Troian Bellisario) has a twin brother (Tom Felton) who are attached at the hip but his death tears her apart. She starts seeing him and choosing not to eat because she is giving the food to her deceased twin. This film was a new take on an eating disorder and shows great talent from Pretty Little Liar's Troian Bellisario who also wrote the movie as well.

4. "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" (2019)

Tumblr

This film is about the crimes of Ted Bundy but from the perspective of his girlfriend who didn't believe the truth for years. It shows that he was a charismatic man who had people under his spell and almost got away with horrid crimes. Zac Efron and Lilly Collins played their roles amazingly.

5. "Very Good Girls" (2013)

Giphy

"Very Good Girls" is about two teenagers (Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen) who both fall in love with the same man which jeopardizes their close friendship. This film shows an awesome friendship but it also creates an emotional drama. Fanning and Olsen's acting is very good and the film was very wholesome.

6. "Poison Ivy" (1992)

Giphy

A teen girl named Sylvie (Sara Gilbert) gets close to an eccentric student who they call Ivy (Drew Barrymore). Ivy gets obsessed with Sylvie's home life and slowly works her way to have her life and take the spot of Sylvie's mother. This movie was an aesthetically pleasing drama/thriller and is perfectly risque in a beautiful way.

7. "Marie Antoinette" (2006)

WeHeartIt

The movie Marie Antionette is a good take on the story of Marie Antionette (Kirsten Dunst) who is married as a teenager. It shows the troubles she faced and her youth filled with luxury until her beheading during the French Revolution. The movie has modern music but traditional fashion that matches the time period. The movie was overall beautiful.

8. "Beautiful Boy" (2018)

Giphy

Nicholas Sheff (Timothee Chalamet) is a teenager with an addiction to meth that starts to ruin his life. His father (Steve Carell) does what he can to save his son. This movie is beautiful and interestingly done. It is very sad and bittersweet.

I loved these movies and how it showed such amazing talent from all who made them. The films also have unique cinematography and ways to tell their story.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
