I Still Love Movies

In case you will be needing to occupy yourself for a while, here's a list of my favorite movies. Features an array of different genres, but there are a few animated films

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: By far, the BEST adaptation movie since "To Kill a Mockingbird." The inaccuracies are so few and far between, you don't notice. Not to mention, isn't the HP trio just the cutest little bunch of ten year olds you've ever seen in your life? Harry's face when he first witnesses magic is adorable, and it has a certain charm and naivety the later movies lack. (Though I also love 'Chamber of Secrets')

Beauty and the Beast: This movie is irresistible. The songs are fun, the animation is beautiful, and the characters are more 3 dimensional than they look. Definitely a better romance than 'Twilight'.

Anastasia: Though this movie doesn't exactly boast historical accuracy, it has that nice Don Bluth touch in which the characters are neatly drawn and the surroundings are breath-taking. There are a few cute musical numbers, too, most of which I memorized in fifth grade.

All Dogs Go to Heaven: Speaking of Don Bluth, this is probably his most fun movie. I adore "Secret of NIHM," but there's just something about this movie that just keeps me glued to the TV every time I watch it. When Charlie finally ascends to Heaven at the end of the film, I tear up every time.

The Plague Dogs: I just recently watched this film, but the two furry main characters stole my heart. Rowf and Snitter, the main dogs, are constantly pitted against overwhelming odds and you just want to take them home. Or perhaps not. Snitter attracts the worst luck when it comes to owners.

The Silence of the Lambs: Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, and cannibalism. What's not to love? Rent it.

Scream: I just love how this movie makes fun of itself, and how the characters are aware of all the slasher movie cliches to the point of brushing against the fourth wall. I NEVER get tired of this movie, and I laugh at Stu and Gary every time.

Mean Girls: My dad said everybody's generation has a high school movie. I proudly declare this one my high school movie.

Something's Gotta Give: Probably my favorite romantic-comedy. Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton are a hilarious older couple. In ten years, I can see them rocking in chairs on the porch, Diane writing a screenplay while Jack shouts at the neighborhood kids to get the hell off the lawn.

Tell me about your favorite movies. (I looking at yooooooooouuuu, TS... lol, not really.)

This is why I should be President.
