My Favorites

Cinema Blend

Curling up with a large bucket of buttery popcorn and bags of gummy bears set the stage for an ultimate movie marathon. The cold and rainy weather has inspired me to share with you my top 4 go-to movies to watch that never disappoint. Being a cheesy romance lover, one of my top chooses for a cozy night in is Titanic. Most people are probably familiar with this movie because it is such a classic It is a film about a love story that blossoms on the historical giant, Titanic. Rose and Jack come from very different financial backgrounds but once they meet, true love cannot determine their heart’s desires. Not only does it have an amazing plot line, but it has my all time favorite actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The next few movies I will be listing are by my favorite author Nicolaus Sparks. I’m not a huge reader so seeing these novels come to life in the films makes me want to watch it over and over. All of his movies are romance movies and throughout the story you can’t help but fall in love with all the characters. The first one of his movies, which I would definitely have to say is my favorite of all time, is the Notebook, which also contains one of my celebrity crushes Ryan Gosling. It focuses on the romance between Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson, two young Southerners who meet for the first time as teenagers. The lovers overcome many obstacles, including Allie’s disapproving family, to be together. This film was put together so well you feel as if you are there watching them. I’ve seen this movie more than any other and the story never gets old. The second Nicolaus Sparks movie that I adore is one of his most recent works the Longest Ride. The plot centers on the star-crossed love affair between a retired bull rider, played by another favorite Scott Eastwood, who wants to get back in the saddle, and an art student preparing to seek her fortune in New York City. As their relationship is put to the ultimate test, the wisdom of an aging man who recalls his lost love serves as a source of great inspiration. I really admire the way this movie was delicately pieced together because it truly reveals the struggles relationships face in everyday lives and shows the hard time and how they have to work to get to the good. Last but not least, A Star is Born has become one of my brand new go-to movie. Since it came out in October 5, 2018, I have seen it 5 times and every time I grow to love it more. I have so much respect for Bradly Cooper and Lady Gaga for the amount of love and passion went into creating this unforgettable film. It is based around a magician named Jackson Maine who discovers and eventually falls for a struggling singer and song writer named Aly who is about to give up her dream until she is pressured into the spotlight by Jackson. As Ally’s career take’s off, the personal side of their relationship is slowly breaking down as Jack is fighting an ongoing battle with internal demons. This movie is so real, true, open, and honest that it’s hard not to love and feel for the characters. This movie will really tug at your emotions and leave you speechless. These four movies are great choices for anytime with the family or friends so I hope the next time your stuck looking for a good movie, you’ll consider one of these!
