movie fest

l'm in a movie marathon kind of mood. its cold outside. house is nice and warm and cosy. husband is out watching rugby, kids watching dvd.
l would like to watch a few movies back to back.
if l could what would l watch? 
i do have movies that l like grouping together.
for example The Jane Austens
who l sometimes group with Little Women.
I love sense and sensibility.  I love Pride and Prejudice. I have watched the movie so many times but recently bought the BBC version with Colin Firth and love that too.
I then like do run together Notting Hill and Love Actually.

Or if lm more deprived of sun and want to feel more of a Mediterranean vibe l love:
Amelie
Paris J'taim
Cinema Paradiso
Il Postino
These will absolutely make you feel good. Troppo belissima, muy muy bien, and tres bien.

Then in a nod to the beautiful land of the long white cloud, New Zealand- the Lord of the RIngs trilogy- which to be fair is a significant commitment which requires subsequent nights. We took it on holidays with us last year to France for two weeks and that provided our night time entertainment when kiddies finally nodded off.

Also from NEw Zealand we have Whale Rider and What becomes of the broken hearted


The Bourne Trilogy to be fair is always worth a viewing. Still good even after multiple viewings

I do enjoy les chick flick also. It is my guilty pleasure and this list is endless so anything from 27 dresses to He's just noth that into you, to My Best Friends Wedding and on and on and on.

Also Anything by nicholas Sparks, they just hit the right note with me after a brutal day at work and take my mind right off it.

So the main thing is you have to gauge how you are feeling, and what it is you want out of the movie. that can take me quite some time. We have a huge collection of dvds and l often spend quite some time in  a trance sitting on the floor in front of the unit we keep them in looking and looking til l get the  "ah yes that one" moment.

This does not mean l am clear and free, sometimes l am ten minutes into a movie and realise."no no no this is not what l want, l actually want to watch ....." and l change it over and away l go.

so now, l am having the contemplation phase.  I will look forward to whatever dvd takes my fancy...

have a nice evening/morning wherever you are
