Summer Boredom Solution!

Summer means a few things to me, one of them being movie days! Spending the day being lazy in front of the screen, painting your nails and sipping lemonade.

So here is my list of my top 10 favorite movies of all time!

10. Easy A

Starring Emma Stone, this teen comedy is on point with whit and humor. Not to mention Penn Badgley as Lobster/Woodchuck Todd. What a great movie!

9. Manic

Manic was made in 2001, thus the actors are younger than they are now. It stars the members of She and Him, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel as a couple that meets in the Psych ward of a hospital after Gordon-Levitt viciously beats a classmate and nearly kills him.

8. Beauty and The Beast

 Disney's classic tale of love and beauty being only skin deep. "No one's neck is incredible thick as Gaston..."

7. Breakfast At Tiffanys

Audrey Hepburn just being beautiful. I adore her and this movie. She has a cat named Cat just because. 

6. The Breakfast Club

5. Sixteen Candles

Molly Ringwald's first break out performance as 16 year old Samantha Baker who's entire family forgets about her sixteenth birthday because of her older sister's wedding. 

4. The Princess Bride

My childhood favorite movie. A classic love story that defies all odds and the happy couple ends up together. Not to mention plenty of action for the people who like sword fights, adventure, and miracles.

3. Rent

It's honestly really depressing, but inspiring at the same time. It proves the moto of "No day but today" is true for some people. It really forces you to look at your life and question if you are living for today.

2. Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope
The second greatest movie of my childhood. Star Wars has been/always will be a big part of my cinematic life. Episode 4 is a fabulous movie that really exemplifies just how far the movie industry really has come. George Lucas' Space odyssey is a true masterpiece.

1. Donnie Darko

Made in 2001, Donnie Darko has gathered a strong underground cult following, me included. I just showed it to Big Sister and she absolutely loved it. Granted the first time I saw it I was terrified of seeing Frank behind me every late night for about a fortnight, however it's totally worth it.

Happy movie viewing!
Keep it classy,
