Friday Five-Feel Good Movies

These movies can always put me in a good mood and if they are on tv I will stop what I'm doing to watch them.  I also own them and can watch them whenever I want...and I do : ).

1. So I Married An Ax Murderer

This hilarious movie is one of my favorite Mike Myers flicks. It's pre-Austin Powers and Shrek and has an even better Scottish character, Mike Myers as his Dad.  It has a great supporting cast-Nancy Travis, Brenda Fricker, Anthony Lapaglia, soundtrack-Toad The Wet Sprocket, Spin Doctors and some of the best lines ever- "What is this Campbells Cup-o-Chino, I thought I ordered the large?", "Head, Pants, Now!", "Come let us dance like children of the night."-just to name a few.  When I went to San Francisco, Christmas of '99, I made my poor mother take me to all of the places in the movie...I'm a movie geek like that!


                                                                     


2. When Harry Met Sally

Seriously, do I have to say much about this film.  It is one of the funniest, sweetest romantic comedies ever.  I love the 80's hair, all of the great NYC shots, and the Harry Connick, Jr. soundtrack.  I also adore all of the real couples sharing their stories of love.  When of my best gals, Maggie came to visit we trekked all over the south end of Manhattan looking for this (in pic below).  Do you recognize this from the film?

Here is Maggie after our trek...she is preggers with Molly in this one. Crazy that Molly will be 2 at the end of May and her 2nd is due at the end of April : )

Oh Washington Square how I love thee!


3. Dirty Dancing
This movie has dancing, love, and Mr. Swayze...need I say more.  I love the oldies soundtrack, (can you tell I love movie soundtracks) the amazing cast (Jerry Orbach, Kelly Bishop, Jennifer Grey) and the story in general.  I can probably tell you every line in this movie.  I'm not ashamed.  Have you ever watched the ABC Family version of the movie...there are scenes that have NEVER been shown before...it's like being in the Twilight Zone. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!"

                                                 


4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Hawaii, Jason Segal, a Dracula musical...really...what's not to like?  I love this male perspective of a break-up. It also has a great supporting cast-who doesn't like Paul Rudd as a sunned out surfer?  This movie is a repeat in our house.  ps-did you know Jason is doing the new Muppet Movie...yes I said a NEW ONE!!

                                                             
5. Bend It Like Beckham
This movie has a lot of firsts for me.  My first Jonathan Rhys Myers, Keira Knightly and Parminda Nagra sightings, it made me fall in love with all things India and Bollywood and a greater love for futball...aka soccer.  It also has a kick butt soundtrack.  It's a great growing up story with a little love thrown in.
