-The Notebook
-The Go-Getter
-The Royal Tenenbaums
-Jennifer's Body
I watch these when I've been feeling really uninspired, lonely, frustrated or sad. (I also watch these movies on good days but it's rare.)
Tonight I watched The Go-Getter, I wanted the feel of Portland and simplicity. I wanted Zooey Deschanel sipping soda from a straw and dipping fries in ketchup (my all time favorite scene from the movie, can't explain why but it pops in my head probably at least once every two weeks even when I haven't watched the movie). To say I watched it is a bit of an exaggeration however. I watched my favorite parts. The parts I found the most inspiring and comforting. I didn't watch the parts that mildly distress me, I just wasn't in the mood.
I do this often with certain movies. The Notebook for instance... I don't watch the very end anymore. Mostly because when I want to watch it I'm desperate for a happy love story and don't want to cry. So I watch the parts of when they were young. There's so much I find inspiring about Rachel McAdams character in that movie, I'm just enchanted by her completely. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't in LOVE with young Noah. So handsome and endearing how he goes after her. One day I want someone to love me as much as he loved her. I know it's a movie but a girl can still dream.
Two movies that will be added to the list when they come out:
-Going the Distance
-Easy A
Funny, awesome love(ish) stories. Can't wait. Seriously.
Last but not least, TV shows I watch when I'm feeling a bit blue:
- The OC Season 1
- Gilmore Girls (any season but the older Rory gets the more I like it, more easy to relate to maybe?)
- Desperate Housewives
What are your movies you watch when you're feeling uninspired or in need of a pick me up? Do you only watch certain parts of movies too?
