I'm a sucker for classic movies. Don't get me wrong, you can always find me in the movie theater ready to watch the latest and greatest, but sometimes you're just in the mood to watch that one movie you've seen more times than you can even try to count. Like an old friend that is always there for you, I know these movies are always there for me and they never fail to make me fall in love each time I watch them!
1. "Grease"
Ah, the classic of all classic movies. What's better than a group of cute guys in leather jackets who sing? And you're lying if you've never jammed out at least once in your life to one of the songs from this movie.
2. "Ghost of Girlfriend's Past"
This one takes three ideas from the old tale of a Christmas Carol (the ghosts of the past, present and future), and creates a romantic comedy out of it. You laugh hard and your heart melts, all at the same time.
3. "Sixteen Candles"
From Long Duk Dong, to Farmer Ted, to Jake Ryan (no, not from "Hannah Montana". Jake Ryan from "Hannah Montana" was named after this Jake Ryan, actually), every character in this movie leaves you feeling like you gained a friend. This movie leaves you dreaming - I was disappointed when my own personal Jake Ryan didn't surprise me with a cake for my sixteenth birthday.
4. "School of Rock"
Jack Black didn't call it "the best thing he's done in his life" for nothin'. I could probably get up in front of you and sing every single song doing every facial expression, hand gesture and dance move exactly as it's done in the movie.
5. "The Breakfast Club"
You had to know this one was coming. You probably were waiting for this very GIF, too. We all have a little bit of each character in ourselves: the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess and the criminal. Sincerely yours...
6. "The Wedding Singer"
Adam Sandler is one of my favorite people ever, and him and Drew Barrymore together - even better! This movie also has a list of great songs and keeps you laughing, with an ending that will have you reaching for the tissue box and wishing your love would sing you a song with his guitar.
7. "Clueless"
No matter how preppy and dumb Cher seemed, you know you wanted to be her. A rich daddy, huge house, popular reputation, cute ex-step-brother (it's complicated), and a computer that has all of your outfits logged so you don't have to spend hours trying different clothes to find the perfect match!? I'm in.
8. "Pitch Perfect"
Although fairly new, this movie is one that will most definitely still be enjoyed years down the road. Fat Amy, killer harmonies, and a competitive Riff-Off - what could be more intriguing?
9. "13 Going on 30"
That single tear never fails to roll down my cheek every time the end of this movie rolls around. I can't help but feel for Jenna, and I see a part of her in me as she goes after what she wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her.
10. "Mean Girls"
You'd be lying if you told me you've never heard or used a "Mean Girls" quote in your life. Not only is this movie funny, but it also has a great message that everyone can learn from in the end.
11. "Dirty Dancing"
This movie makes me want to get up and dance. The chemistry between Baby and Johnny is insane, and always has me dreaming of a magical moment on the dance floor with a man's arms around me.
12. "Easy A"
This movie is a modern romance reflective upon all of the classic 80's romance movies. Olive is just like you and me, someone who can't help but watch "The Breakfast Club" over and over no matter how many times you've seen it already, hoping for a kiss that will make you want to pump your fist in the air.
13. "50 First Dates"
A man who won't give up on making you fall in love with him all over again every single day... how's that for a fairy tale romance?
If there is ANY movie on this list that you haven't seen yet - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! And if you've seen all of these movies, I'm glad we're on the same page...I'm off to watch one of them, and cry and laugh and fall in love for the millionth time.
