8/24/11.............remember a couple weeks ago when it was raining and the temperatures were (gasp!) in the 90's?! Yeah, me neither. But apparently they were because that was the exact time I started the following blog. It was interrupted by a brief text about a friend who is stationed in Afghanistan. Everything is o.k. but I wasn't quite in the mood to finish my lighthearted blog after getting it. So please enjoy my post......from 2 weeks ago! Man, I am really horrible at keeping up with this thing!
8/11/11.......It's been raining quite a bit for August which has been a welcome break from the unrelenting heat we've been having. Today the temps are only supposed to get in the 90's. That's like 80's for Okies who have been suffering from heat exhaustion. All the beautiful cloud cover, rain and cooler temperatures makes for the perfect movie day.
So with that being said, if I could have a movie marathon today, these would be my top five picks. Let me also say that I LOVE watching movies. So the movie I'm going to list are totally just by today's mood. I really don't think I could ever pick a favorite movie. Or song. Or food. Or shoes. Ok, I'm done. Grab some popcorn and let's go to the movies!
(In no particular order)
Sleepless in Seattle
There is so much I love about this movie. I could watch it a million times over and never get tired of it. One of the best lines of the whole movie:
Dr. Marsha Fieldston: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
Ugh. Stick a fork in me, I'm done!
When Harry Met Sally
Best scene of the entire movie. I absolutely adore Meg Ryan. Especially the older movies of her. This is one of my all time favorite go to movies. If I had a list of favorites, this would be top 5. Hands down. It's a wonderfully funny, witty, love story. I wish they made more movies like it. One of my favorite quotes:
Harry: I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Harry, you rock my world.
Braveheart
I remember talking about this movie to one of my (guy) friends a few years ago when he perfectly captured the best way to describe this movie. He had said he was at the gym when a cell phone rang. The ringer? Braveheart. He said every male in that gym stopped what they were doing as if to pay tribute.
I understand this is more of a guys movie and I'm totally ok with that. There is a little love, some action and some comedy. If you haven't seen it, watch it today. You will not be disappointed.
Best quote:
William Wallace: There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.
The War
Ugh. I LOVE this movie. I often refer to my child as one of the Lipnickis....if you've seen the movie then you know why =) There are so many great moments in this movie I couldn't pin point just one. The best quote of the movie, I think, is the one in the clip I posted. Fantastic movie.
Friends
Last but not least is not actually a movie....although I would totally watch it if it was. It is, by far, my favorite sitcom of all time. Friends. It doesn't get any better than Friends. There are SO MANY quotable lines from each episode. I don't think there is ever a time when I get together with my girlfriends where we haven't quoted a line or that we haven't compared some scenario to a Friends episode. This show, by far, set the bar for any show I watch now. So far, I haven't found one that even comes close to how funny Friends was.
Ugh! That makes me laugh every time! Love it.
So that's it. If I had my way, that would be the line up for todays' lazy, rain weather, movie watchin day. Go home and watch something great tonight!
Love,
The Mrs.
