tugging on heartstrings

I feel a random desire to post my top favorite movies and why I fancy them so.

#1 Pride & Prejudice (2005)


This one is no surprise. I've expressed many times before how I dote on this movie. It wasn't so much on the plot, but more on the soundtrack and cinematography. Absolutely beautiful. Awesome actors as well. This is ranked #1, but everything after this will be in somewhat random order.

#2 While You Were Sleeping (1995)


This movie is so freaking adorable. I am a big fan of Sandra Bullock, and it might've been due to this movie. It has such a cute and unique plot. I like movies that can make me cry. This one gave me a tear jerk.

#3 13 Going on 30 (2004)


With a "Rip Van Winkle" theme, it is similar to the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks. I love Jennifer Garner, and I like her chemistry with Mark Ruffalo here. Again, it had a nice tear jerk towards the end.

#4 Valentine's Day (2010)


I really enjoy movies with multiple main characters that are all connected in some way. This one has a lot of my favorite actors. I have yet to see "New Year's Eve" which I'm sure will be somewhat similar to this movie.

#5 The Vow (2012)


So what if I just recently saw this. I don't care. I love it! I love the whole amnesia theme (thanks Kdramas), and I'm a big fan of Rachel McAdams. The way they filmed this movie made me wish I lived in Chicago. This movie was refreshingly different and not as predictable as it seems.

#6 The Terminal (2004)


I think Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor. I grew up watching many of his films. This story is so unique and very moving. It's not really a romantic, but more of a slice of life I would say. The theme of waiting really spoke to me.

#7 You've Got Mail (1998)


This movie is such a classic. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are a dynamic duo. It's funny re-watching it, because of the technology differences from now a days. *sighs* Back when E-mails weren't full of spam.

#8 Persuasion (2007)


I really liked this version of Persuasion. I'm pretty sure there a many versions. It was emotionally gripping and satisfactory. I didn't think it'd be that great, but after seeing the whole thing I fell in love with it.

#9 Mr. Holland's Opus (1995)


This movie is such an epic. It shows different decades, and it has two elements that I really like: teaching and music. A Classic!
