Movies to rewatch
When you're laid up on the couch is the absolute best time to rewatch your favorite movies...here are some of mine
Favorite rom with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan...can you name all 3?
You've Got Mail (1998) - IMDb
Criminally underrated movie, and my 2nd favorite tom hanks/meg ryan film!
Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) - IMDb
Every scene is perfection, I quote it more than would be considered normal
Moonstruck (1987) - IMDb
Oh! Beautiful, Gorgeous, Wish you were here!
French Kiss (1995) - IMDb
Classic William Wyler movie from 1945, about veterans returning to their homes and lives after WW2. It's so good
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) - IMDb
Books to reread
When I'm feeling like garbage, I don't have the brain power for new stuff, so it's time to revisit my old favorites
