Do you have a movie that has a special place in your heart? If so, why? Maybe because of nostalgia or just the plot, acting and cinematography. A movie that gives you a feel-good feeling whenever you watch it.
A Monster Calls gets to me extra hard, I watched it with my mom while both of us were grieving my father passing so I cannot hold it together when I watch that film tbh. Not really feel good but its feels for sure. For more nostalgic feel good I will never tire of watching the original Ghost in the Shell movie from 1995, it blew my mind as a kid (probably too young to watch it but hey, my parents just let me pick a cartoon they didn't know any better lol). Still adore that movie and the opening scene gives me nostalgia tingles every time.
Tangled (2011). We used to have a DVD of it that we would play all the time on the little movie player in my mom's old van. We watched it so much that my sisters and I had basically the whole thing memorized and we would each pick which characters' lines we would say. Sad to say that we lost the DVD (and several other ones) when that van stopped working years ago. I've only seen it once or twice since then, and let me tell you, it almost feels wrong to see it on a big HD screen as opposed to the tiny, grainy movie player screen.
For me, Doctor Strange (the first one). When I was unwell, it was one of the only things that kept me calm and made me feel a little less unwell. Now whenever I feel sick or stressed out, it is my go-to movie. I found it well written and just about the right amount of changes from the graphic novels and backgrounds to feel fresh to me.
Up. People always say the first ten minutes of the film are amazing, but the rest falls flat and I couldn’t disagree more. I loved watching the two leads warm up to each other and the fight at the end of the movie was very creative and at times funny. Carl Frederickson reminds me a lot of my late grandpa. His personality, appearance, and parts of his backstory are very similar to him. Whenever I think of the movie I think of my grandpa. I’m glad he got to see the movie before he died in 2012 and ended up liking it a lot.
