comfort movies (you know you have them)

because this time of year I always end up watching movies I've seen 3000 times. it's comforting I guess. but over the summer I am not as tempted to watch these films as I am in the holiday season. maybe it's the cold?

feel free to contribute your own to this list. we should make it GINORMOUS and I'm sure I'm leaving some out anyway. I'm still in a daze because of the snow. somewhere, the angels are doing cocaine.

Elf

I watch this because of Zooey Deschanel. she stole my heart in this film. and it's so hokey but I have yet to get sick of it and I don't know what that says about me.

watch her here!

Love Actually

Whilst reading the Taylor Swift-dedicated issue of US Weekly yesterday, Wenli and I discovered the three of us all love this movie. but who doesn't omg. I don't think I haven't met a girl who hasn't aped over this film at some point and help me baby Jesus but I will watch it every time it comes on.



The Family Stone


I feel like this is a neglected modern day holiday classic. There are blind people and gay people and Sarah Jessica Parker just does not fit in!


I love you Claire Danes. When you appear, you are like an angel.

While You Were Sleeping

I was like five when I first saw this and instantly loved it. I probably thought, in my stupid mind, ONE DAY I AM GOING TO BE SANDRA BULLOCK AND BILL PULLMAN WILL DATE ME AND I WILL GO BE ADOPTED BY A FAMILY THAT ACTUALLY LIKES ME. I'm trying to remember the depiction of adult life I had so young. believe me, I was pretty happy about everything in that part. I was going to have a lot of dogs and adopt a Chinese kid and ride a motorcycle and be like Sandra Bullock. wow.....


she totally made the right choice. Pre-OC Peter Gallagher is like a caveman.

The Holiday

everyone in this movie is really hot but Jack Black. he's still endearing though. and if he can bag Kate Winslet in his film, THEN SO CAN WE ALL. why can't kids always be this cute?



It's a Wonderful Life

You can't beat this film. just can't.


Miracle on 34th Street

I can never make up my mind: the version with Natalie Wood or the version I grew up with?

I dislike whatever the girl is in this film. She was in Matilda? pssssh.



Natalie Wood, as a child, had more talent in her toenail than that bitch.

MOVIES THAT ARE NOT SO CHRISTMASY

The Wedding Singer

I'm pretty sure I have this memorized.

CHRISTINA TAYLOR'S CHARACTER: *throws Rubiks cube* GOD NO ONE IS GOING TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT.

Mannequin


The cheesiest 1980s movie in existence. plus you are watching Kim Cattral before she became a slut.

most Drew Barrymore films
esp. Never Been Kissed and Music and Lyrics

Maid in Manhattan or Two Weeks Notice
I confuse them a lot and I am not sure why.

MOVIES THAT WILL NOT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD

most films about the Holocaust
Hotel Rwanda
films about kids being killed
Gigli
500 Days of Summer

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
