Nostalgia
the ones that feel like a warm hug
these movies take me right back to being a kid and watching Harry Potter weekends on ABC Family. I especially enjoy watching these films during the fall & Christmas seasons!
Harry Potter Series
take me to Stars Hollow fr!! Everything about this show screams nostalgia - the characters, the scenery, the silly plots, Kirk. Hands down one of my most rewatched shows.
Gilmore Girls
this show (and movies) make me want to drop everything and move to NYC. Such an iconic show and makes me wish I was alive to be a 90s glamour icon like Samantha.
Sex and the City
this movie changed my life. The most incredible casting i've EVER seen and reminds me of halloween as a kid!
Scooby Doo (2002)
although this is a tough watch back now due to the cast being full of stupid idiots (never you, Topher Grace), this show is one of my all-time favorites. The costumes and sets are always perfect for the premise of the show, and the characters are so ...
That '70s Show
out of all the Disney shows I watched as a kid, this one always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. It's so clever and funny, and of course launched icon Selena Gomez so its a 10/10 in my book.
Wizards of Waverly Place
high school me was absolutely obsessed with this show, thus it being placed in the nostalgia category. I love everything about this show, especially the characters and the changes they all went through throughout the series. so many iconic episodes, ...
Criminal Minds
hilarious, classic NYC sitcom that has a special place in my heart
How I Met Your Mother
dare I say my favorite show ever. it made me who I am today - truly changed society.
Glee
Humor
the ones that make me physically laugh out loud - no matter how many rewatches
hands down one of the funniest shows i've ever seen. Between Captain Holt, Jake, Rosa, and Terry - truly some of the best written humor on television.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
better than The Office imo. Amy Poehler took this show and ran with it - the concept and execution is all absolutely hilarious. Incredible cast as well!
Parks and Recreation
growing up I thought it was so cool this movie was filmed near where I lived. I feel like everyone has a random Adam Sandler movie they were obsessed with and this is mine.
Grown Ups
i'd also put this show in the nostalgia category, but the fact is icarly is utterly hilarious. Spencer Shay is seriously one of the funniest characters of any childhood show and I belly laugh every time I watch this
iCarly
Thrilling
the ones I watch for the plot but also the vibes
i already know the final season is going to destroy me. every season of this show has been better than the last. this series seriously has everything - action, mystery, suspense, incredible acting and costumes, and of course the rising stars ST has p...
Stranger Things
although this show absolutely derailed after season 5ish, it's still such an entertaining watch. this could apply to nostalgia too, but the plot for the first few seasons is insanely good. if you need a recap of the insanity that was PLL, Mike's Mic ...
Pretty Little Liars
though this is one of my newer watched (my mom's recommendation), I've been absolutely hooked on this show from the first episode. the plot is craaazy and so entertaining.
Desperate Housewives
this show has absolutely everything and was an instant classic in my house. it's heartbreaking and terrifying as well as emotionally charged and has terrific acting performances.
The Haunting of Hill House
I love all of these films and rewatch often, but Catching Fire will always remain my favorite.
The Hunger Games trilogy
Festive
the ones I watch around the holidays like clockwork
this movie is like magic to me. it's the ultimate family Christmas movie and always leaves me emotional. the snowy setting and holiday decor add to the whole ambiance, added it's absolutely hilarious.
Home Alone
watching this literally transports me back to October as a kid. the halloween aesthetics in this movie are off the charts and Debbie Reynolds changed lives with this role.
Halloweentown
these movies started my deep rooted obsession with halloween I fear. I might be able to recite the first one word for word…
Twitches
jamie lee curtis you are a star! i love this cute christmas movie <3
Christmas with the Kranks
obsessed with her. so festive and funny and makes me want to live out my nyc christmastime dreams.
Eloise at Christmastime
