I truly feel like these movies - though not an inclusive list of my favorites - are really important to watch if you want to understand me. Plus, they're really good =)
5. Pocahontas
I'm a total Disney Freak in general byt Pocahontas had the biggest influence on me as a child. Most of my morals came from this movie.
4. Love Actually
So cheesy. So British. So delightful. It makes the hopeless romantic in me spin around in happy circles.
3. Harry Potter Series
I can't tell you about the warmth that fills my heart with everyone of those movies. It's not necessarily about how good they are, but more that they're my oldest friends. I don't have one friend that's lasted longer than the Harry Potter series (book and movies). It's like coming home from school to see them.
2. Pride & Prejudice
I have a penchant for Jane Austen adaptions but this one tops it all. I identify strongly with Elizabeth. The fact that she is just in it for the giggles because she doesn't really believe anyone will ever be good enough for her... but would love to find someone who is.
1. [500] Days of Summer
This movie probably has the perfect blend of my kind of humor and my kind of story. When I first saw it I was with my boyfriend at the time and he was crying by the end of it. I think he prophesied that it was a foreshadow of what our relationship would eventually be like. And he was right.
But why it's important to me is that yes, sometimes you meet people and they become everything that is important to you and you're certain it's meant to be... and then it isn't. And you have to accept that... but you also can't give up hope.
