Five Must-See Movies During Spring Break

Five Must-See Movies During Spring Break
Mark T. Hardy II

For those of you that have reached the final push of your spring break, I greatly pity you. For those of you that have spring break starting next week...I greatly envy you. But, saltiness aside, I have a few suggestions for those of you that are just starting off. Only instead of a long, inspiring list of things you could do during it, I'll give you guys a much shorter list, and the "things" will be much more precise.

We all know that there are several good movies out there right now, and, having seen a few myself, am going to present you all with a list of movies that I personally would recommend.

1. Get Out

If you want a movie that's both suspenseful and thought-provoking, you guys should definitely check this one out. I was dragged to it spontaneously by some friends really late at night--very appropriate, I know--and I absolutely LOVED it! I won't say what it's about, or even the message that it's trying to convey--though I might write an article about it in the near future, so stay tuned--but trust me when I say that it's one that will keep you thinking long after you've left the theatre, and one you'll never forget!

2. Logan

Not gonna lie, manly tears were shed during this movie, and in all honesty, I'm still pretty emotional over it. If you thought Hugh Jackman's Wolverine movies were just about a guy that can't die and kills people, you couldn't be more wrong. This movie in particular , the final Wolverine movie with Hugh Jackman, has both heart and a kind of suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time and not be afraid to provide some pretty emotional and surprising scenes along the way.

Oh and just in case any of you were curious, no, there is no after credit scene for this one.

3. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Bet you guys thought this list would just be filled with blockbuster movies, huh? Well, sorry to say, that isn't the case. But hey, at least you won't have to look very far to find this one--it's on Netflix. This movie has it all, comedy, mock horror, and best of all, the kind of goofy fun any young adult can appreciate.

4. Anything and Everything Disney

You all probably already figured I'd have something Disney-related on this list. And how could I not? There are way too many good Disney films out there , so the only solution is simply to watch them all!

5. The Prestige

Warning: This movie is guaranteed to mess with, and blow, your mind!

Of course I had to put a Christopher Nolan movie on this list, and can you blame me? The man is an absolute genius, what all of us writing/literature majors aspire to be. Now I know what most of you are thinking: "Why not Inception, or the Batman Trilogy?" and or that question, I have but a single answer: This one has Wolverine AND Batman duking it out as magicians!!! That right there ought to be enough to convince anybody! I mean, seriously, they're MAGICIANS!!! What more could you ask for? In all honesty, though, you should really check this one out. It's guaranteed to leave you with more questions than answers--in a very good way, that is.

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.
