Everyone has those days. You wake up in the blissful comfort of your warm bed, snuggled up against your favorite body pillow, your hair stuck to your cheek with the drool from a good night's sleep. Rain is pattering on the roof and the world outside looks so dreary you can't find any reason to leave the peace and quiet of your own home. So, you snuggle up under your warmest blanket and let your body mold into the couch so deeply that it becomes impossible to ever stand up. The remote is in reach. The TV screen is waiting to be stared at. So, what should you watch?
The Princess Bride
I am actually watching this movie right now, as I write this article, snuggled up under a blanket and eating potato chips. And I can promise you firsthand, it's mind meltingly perfect. I can be a total zombie while I stare at the screen, and fantasize about having my own fairy tale adventure. My heart pounds when I hear the three words every girl dreams of one day being told: "as you wish."
How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days
Yes, the whole "I'm gonna date a person for ten days just for the hell of it and not think about the consequences at all" thing is a little weird, and they fall in love like, really, really fast (in ten days), but it's still a fun watch. I mean, sometimes a predictable love story is all you need for a lazy day. And who doesn't love Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey?
Clueless
Okay guys, THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE. It's incredible. Alicia Silverstone is witty, hilarious, and loveable. Paul Rudd is a smart, sexy, stud (when is he not?), the 90's-ness of this cinematic masterpiece is unmatchable, and Dion's hat collection is fire.
Big Daddy
Who doesn't love a classic Adam Sandler movie? Plus, it's starring very tiny versions of Cole and Dylan Sprouse. This movie is goofy, hilarious, and heartwarming. It will have you craving Mcdonald's breakfast, but I'm always craving those Egg Mcmuffins anyway, so it's totally worth it.
Bridget Jones's Diary
Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, British accents, and kissing without pants on in the snow. Nuff said.
