Queen Julia

My fave Julia Roberts movies
 
Ches profile picture
She’s an actress, he owns a travel bookshop. A chance meeting turns into a complicated, yearning and hilariously funny love story. The richness in the setting makes this movie pop but it’s the Queen Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in his peak floppy hai...

Fall leaves. Giggles. Bubble gum and lamps. The dynamic duo returns to give us their best romance with hijinks, laughter and some hair dye. Sometimes we just don’t know ourselves and we’ll never be ready, what happens when you take the time?
Runaway Bride

This movie is a power house. First all the fall vibes, but it’s heartwarming, witty and a tear jerker. It’s a rare movie where every single character grows. It’s a little messy and petty in places but it makes sense once you watch it. Grab tissues th...

Romantical

Romance, duh.
 
Ches profile picture
He’s a little jaded, she’s cautious. They’re frenemies until they’re not and without warning they’re two idiots in love with no idea they’re each other’s person. This movie runs on sarcasm and autumn leaves, it’s sharp, witty, and sweet. The kind of ...
When Harry Met Sally

Ches profile picture
Here’s a movie that almost makes fun of itself and romance tropes without feeling like a satire. It hits all of the romcom formulas, and then some. It’s absolutely hilarious. And yes Jude Law is everyone’s favorite leading man but Jack Black sneaks u...

Friends to lovers. Slow burn. Idiots in love. Hilarious. Romantic. Where were you when you first fell in love with hip hop?
Brown Sugar

Ches profile picture
Enemies to lovers. 90s warmth. Perfect banter and comedy, yearns, New York City backdrop and the kind of slow burn that makes it worth it. Just go watch it, you’ll love it.
You've Got Mail

Ches profile picture
This was my gateway into French film. We’ve all gotten lost in someone, love can be like that sometimes. You’ll think you know what’s going on, but you don’t. It hits all of the romance plot points with a bit of drama and that’s just the first half. ...

Documentaries

Memoirs but easier to digest.

When I decided to watch this on a random rainy day, I knew them (I thought) only in name and quickly realized I’d heard them and that they have sung songs that are part of my Pop music foundation.

If you want to know all about the catalyst and creative mind behind not only the hit music but the landscape of rock music today. Look no further, the Beatles travelled with him, Jimi Hendrix was his guitarist and that’s just to name a few. His every...

Kiss all the Time, Disco Occasionally is Harry’s newest album. It’s mature lyrically and nuanced musically. It’s not everyone’s groove but it’s worth a listen. If you want the full Harry Styles experience you have to watch this live performance. It’s...
Harry Styles One Night In Manchester

I absolutely did not know what to think when I pressed play on this one. I have always loved Eddie Murphys stand up and movies, this was something you don’t often see in a celebrity documentary. It wasn’t quirky or standoffish like some comedians cou...

Classics

Movies from a bygone era, the blueprint of film.
 
Ches profile picture
My introduction into my fave genre Romantic Comedy. Enemies to lovers, or rather annoying neighbors to lovers. This movie is hilarious and just such a classic. You can’t lose with Rock Hudson and Doris Day.
Pillow Talk

Marvel Magic

 
Ches profile picture
The only thing truly crazier than the creation of a smart suit is probably Robert Downey Jr.’s goatee. It’s giving comic book character which is perfect because it is a movie based on a comic but it’s more than that, it’s action and cinematic. It’s b...

This movie has some twists and mystery to its love, but there’s yearning, bubbly songs and handsome men with hearts of gold. What more could you want? Drama? Check. Fire soundtrack? Check. Love letters? Check, check. You will be singing along from th...
