Five Movies Which I Can Watch Over and Over!

If you did not know, I'm a film junkie...so these are five movies which I guess you could qualify as my favorites!

1. The Princess Bride
Is this really a surprise? Definitely my all-time favorite film, this follows Buttercup as she fights her controlling fiance so she can marry her "twue love." ;) If you're looking for a movie that could be in many genres, this is perfect! (By the way...I can literally quote the entire movie. Just ask my family!)

2. Sleepless in Seattle
Part 1 of my movie OTP- Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. This definitely is a tear-jerker as Sam is a widower finally looking for a new love. Annie has overheard him over a radio program and she gradually falls in love with him...while pondering her relationship with her fiance. So cheesy and cliche...but lovely.

3. You've Got Mail
Part 2 of my movie OTP- Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. (First of all, this movie has a FANTASTIC movie soundtrack and supporting cast, as does Sleepless in Seattle.) But anyways, this was in the heyday of the bursting internet (actually the year I was born....kinda sad), and Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly meet over the internet, but don't know each others names. As it turns out, they are rival business partners...and it just turns out really funny because they're in love with each other...but hate each other at the same time! 

3. Bridget Jones's Diary (and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason):
OKAY FIRST OF ALL, COLIN FIRTH AND HUGH GRANT. Need I say more? Just kidding, but this is a relatively new favorite series for me. I think I watched them for the first time over February break? I don't know, but I became obsessed with these movies. Based loosely on Pride & Prejudice (AKA pretty much my favorite book besides the Bible), this follows 30-something Bridget Jones on her quest to find a sensible man. Chaos ensues when she wins the heart of Mark Darcy (Firth) and Daniel Cleaver (Grant), who are rivals. Hilarious movie, and basically I feel like Bridget Jones 99.9% of the time. (PS, who DOESN'T love Colin Firth? Ughhh!)

5. Clueless:
As if! ;) Honestly this is another movie I can actually quote word for word. If you've never watched Clueless (which you must if you're a teenage girl, it's like a rite of passage), it's based off of another Jane Austen novel, Emma (another favorite of mine!!). In a sense, Cher is well...clueless! It follows her as she tries to constantly improve the lives of others around her, while she is not paying enough attention to things in life involving her. By the way...Paul Rudd plays her charming ex-stepbrother Josh...it's wonderful. ;) 

Honorable mentions: "13 Going on 30", "Sabrina" (1995 version), "While You Were Sleeping", "Runaway Bride", and "The Cutting Edge". 

What are some of your must-watch movies?
