Does the cold weather have you down?

In the mood for a movie marathon? Have no fear, I’ve got the perfect list right here! Here is a compilation of 10 classic movies that are turning the big 1-0 this year. Feel old yet?

1. High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Everyone’s favorite East High Wildcats took the stage one last time when the movie was released on October 24, 2008. There has been buzz recently about a possible High School Musical 4? Fingers crossed. You can find the soundtrack by following this link to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6j8k5gIeWzXapGKTVaZzER. I don’t know about you, but I still know every single word.

2. Step Brothers

39 and 40-year olds Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) were forced to move in together after their parents’ marriage when this movie hit the theaters on July 25, 2008. The original Step Brothers was so good, maybe a Step Brothers 2 will hit the theaters in the near future?

3. The Dark Knight

Christian Bale’s Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker hit the big screens on July 18, 2008. Unfortunately, Ledger died 6 months before the movie was released, so he never got to see himself as the Joker on the big screens.

4. Yes Man

Jim Carrey plays Carl Allen, a man who attends a self-help seminar and learns how to say “yes” instead of saying “no” all of the time. He learns, however, that saying “yes” to everything isn’t always the best decision. This movie hit the theaters on December 17, 2008.

5. Bedtime Stories

Adam Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson, the loveable uncle who tells his niece and nephew bedtime stories that seem to come true in his real life. Bedtime Stories hit theaters on December 25, 2008.

6. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is a man who is born in his eighties and ages in reverse. This movie also hit theaters on Christmas day, 2008.

7. Sex and The City

Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, plays “a New York City writer on sex and love [who] is finally getting married to her Mr. Big. But her three best girlfriends must console her after one of them inadvertently leads Mr. Big to jilt her,” according to IMDb. This movie hit the big screens on May 27, 2008.

8. 27 Dresses

Katherine Heigl plays Jane, who is always the bridesmaid and never the bride (in 27 weddings, to be exact). She’s the one who everyone goes to when they need help planning their weddings. However, when Jane’s younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) gets engaged to the man whom Jane secretly loves, Jane finally starts to question her roles as perennial bridesmaid and wedding planner. This movie hit the big screens on January 9, 2008.

9. Mamma Mia!

Donna (Meryl Streep), is an independent hotelier in the Greek islands who prepares for her daughter Sophie’s wedding with the help of two of her friends. Sophie secretly invites three men from Donna’s past in hopes of meeting her real dad and having him walk her down the aisle. This classic was released on July 18, 2008. You can find the movie’s soundtrack by following this link to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/melissamatyiku/playlist/7aanmQIrzfWwXQX5JySWZP. Keep your eyes open for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hitting theaters this summer!

10. Slumdog Millionaire

As Jamal Malik, an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, is one question away from winning 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” flashbacks are shown of how he got there. This film was released on November 12, 2008.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
