Movies You Love

3/27/2021

What are your favorite movies? I saw a meme about The Mummy the other day, and was reminded why it is my favorite movie. Right now we are watching Fellowship of the Ring and man, do I love this series.

I saw this article about comfort movies and I think my favorite movies fall more into this category, movies I can watch over and over again.

So I was thinking about the rank. I aimed for 10, but couldn’t stop.

The Mummy
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Last Jedi
Jaws
Star Wars: A New Hope
Tangled
O Brother Where Art Thou
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Jurassic Park
Romancing the Stone
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Money Pit
So Proudly We Hail
Ghostbusters (both)
Bridget Jones’s Diary

I like the Marvel Universe as a whole, but couldn't say which movie is my favorite. Maybe the first Iron Man, maybe the first Guardians.

I also have a number of chick flicks I like that I didn’t include: Two Weeks Notice, The Back-Up Plan, both Mamma Mia movies, Pitch Perfect.

What movies do you love? Are your favorites that because they’re just so good or because they’re something you can watch over and over?

Spring

I am looking forward to this spring more than any I can remember. When I was teaching, I was glad for the countdown to the end of the year, but there were so many stressful things between spring break and summer—testing being the top, but also other events like Field Day, the end of the year concert, Fiesta parade, talent show. Just lots of things that occupied my thoughts.

Then last year, my first year of retirement, was the lockdown and so much uncertainty.

This year my mom and stepdad are fully vaccinated, as are my brother and brother-in-law. My other brother and sister-in-law have had their first dose, my husband and I are eligible now here in Texas. The hope is palpable.

We had that winter storm a month ago, and while I was able to bring in a lot of my potted plants (and I have a LOT!) I am waiting to see if my landscape plants, my crape myrtles and Vitex and desert willow will come back. We have lived here 21 years, and today I saw we have a redbud tree! We don't have a large property, but I have never seen it bud before! Mind, it has TWO buds on it, but still. I was very excited to see it.

So yes, hope. Hope of being able to gather, hope of seeing life return to normal.

I hope you are finding the same hope in your spring! Big hugs!
