QUICK 5 | FAVOURITE MOVIES YOU OWN

Today’s Quick 5 is all about movies only with a slight variation.  I want you to share the 5 movies you love that you own.  For example, I loved Social Network but I didn’t love it so much that I would buy a copy on DVD.  Sometimes I think what we own says more about what we love than what we tell people in social settings.

Here’s 5 movies that I own and love (and that I’m probably too ashamed to admit to at a dinner party):

When Harry Met Sally – My first ever movie love.  This movie taught me everything I know about comedy and the joy that is Billy Crystal.  I just love how this movie evolves and all the classic lines from it.  (I still use a large array of them in my everyday.)

Don’t Tell Mum the Babysitter’s Dead – Another movie from my youth.  I love the line in this movie “The dishes are done, man.”  I use it all the time and then chuckle to myself.  This movie also has one of my all time favourite movie tricks, the transformation sequence.  You know where they do a makeover and it’s set to music and portrays the ugly duckling becoming the swan – in this case it’s the kids cleaning up the house.

Steel Magnolias – My love for this film is well documented.  I want to move to this town.  I want to have a group of girlfriends just like these ladies.  I want to be a Southern Belle.  It’s also a great movie when I just want to have a cry but don’t feel I’m justified in doing so.

28 Days – Not the zombie apocalyptic film that I suspect my HUBBY wishes it was, but the romantic comedy with a hard edge.  Well as hard an edge as you’re gonna find in a romantic comedy.  There’s just so many great supporting characters in this movie and I love the tension between Bullock and Mortensen.  I also love that one of the characters is called Jasper.

Sweet Home Alabama – Think this one ties in to my love of Southern ladies.  I’m also a sucker for Reese Witherspoon.  The chemistry in this film is great and again it’s got the support cast that also makes it fun.
