Getting out of the house on weekends is always fun, but sometimes you just need to cuddle up in a fuzzy blanket with a mountain of popcorn and watch a real good movie! (Or a super cheesy one) So in order to help make movie hunting a little easier, here is a little list of a few different genres. Hopefully one of these films will suit your fancy!

Oldie's But Goodies

Pretty In Pink is an 80s classic. Perfect if you love eccentric characters and quotable one-liners! Once you see this movie, you will continually be reenacting Duckie's record store performance to "Try A Little Tenderness."

10 Things I Hate About You is the perfect dose of laughter and Heath Ledger. However, you may shed a tear at the end.

The Parent Trap is always a winner! A super quotable movie that takes you from camp to the vineyards of northern California to the rainy streets in London. For those of you who love to travel, you can definitely live vicariously through this movie.

Life Lessons

Dead Poet's Societyis a fantastic Robin Williams film where he plays an eccentric teacher who helps students to see the world through new eyes! You will laugh, cry and pause the movie plenty of times to write down a quote or two.

August Rushrevolves around the art of music, but will teach you the importance of persistence whether you are a musically inclined or not. (This film also contains a golden Robin Williams character!)

The Pursuit of Happynesswill keep you on your toes from beginning to end. This movie is utter brilliance, and really shows where hard work can get you! Be prepared with a box of tissues near.

Animation

How To Train Your Dragon should never be underrated! The score is beautiful and dragons are basically dogs.

Zootopia took me by surprise! It is a very well put together movie that really hits on some real world problems.

Rom Com

It's A Boy Girl Thing has a similar plot to Freaky Friday however, there's a small twist. This movie is hilarious, but also pretty mushy gushy at times!

Me Before You contains the quirky Lou and the sarcastic Will. Their story is bitter sweet and will have you laughing and crying and screaming, "why!?" by the end of the film.

Love, Rosiefollows the lives of Rosie and Alex over the course of many years. Another movie that will have you screaming, "why?" Luckily there's some comic relief within the script to keep you from becoming too anxious.

The Switch is hilarious and adorable at the same time. A single mom realizes something interesting about her little boy, but you'll have to watch to find out!

Suspense

Hush verges a little more on the horror movie side, however it is not your average scary movie. The victim is deaf! And bonus: this movie is on Netflix!

Snowpierceris about life in a future world where the land has frozen over and everyone is forced to live on a continually running train. But what happens when the lower class caboose realizes they are being treated unfairly?

The Adjustment Bureau is about changing fate. But our main character discovers that fate is actually a group of people.

The Island ...you actually can't know anything about this movie. You just have to watch it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. 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.
