Rainy days have a way of making one feel like the only acceptable thing to do is curl up with a blanket and watch a really good movie. Or 4, you know, whatever. I know I appreciate a great flick and a cozy blanket when it's raining. Here are some of my personal recommendations for instances like this.
1. Practical Magic
Starring the always-spectacular Sandra Bullock, this girl power, sister-witch movie has just enough drama and fantasy to keep you occupied when the weather is gloomy.
2. Legally Blonde
A classic tale of a woman following her dreams in really great shoes. Who can say no to Elle Woods? I know I can't. Bruiser is the real hero of this story,
3. DOPE
Not for the faint of heart, but so good. This movie will leave you on the edge of your seat, asking "how did they do that?" It makes me feel so many emotions. You will probably need to go outside in the rain if you don't want anyone to see the tears.
4. The Prince and Me
I'm a sucker for a good prince IRL story. It really makes you root for these seemingly star-crossed lovers.
5. Wet Hot American Summer (the movie -- or the show, you know, whichever)
Starring Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and Paul Rudd, this movie will keep you laughing with its quirky humor. If you like it, I recommend watching the show, which is equally funny and unique.
6. Stranger Things
Okay, so this one is cheating a little bit, because it's a show and not a movie, but I'm not sure I care, because it's that good. Reminiscent of
7. The Princess Bride
A feel-good, quest romance with action and fantasy and everything you really could ever want in a movie. Can't ask for much more when you're stuck in the house.
8. Clueless
Recommended to me by my step-mom, and let's just say I'm very grateful to her. This movie is awesome and hilarious. Cher is me and I am Cher and Cher is all of us.
9. Titanic
I don't know that I have to say anything about this. A small anecdote for you, though: the first time I saw this movie, I cried for the last 40 minutes of this movie, and then for about 30 minutes after it was over. So touching.
10. Stardust
Michelle Pfeiffer slays in this movie. It's a real gem that will make your heart sing..
