items Movies that make me laugh, cry, and occasionally rethink my life choices 〰️ All favorites I return to again and again.
I will never stop being obsessed with Ever After. Danielle showing up to the ball in that angel dress, glowy face shimmer, wings and all!! It was my Roman Empire. The prince? One of my first cinematic crushes. The soundtrack? Peak late ‘90s fairytale...
Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)
Tower of Terror lives rent free in my brain. I honestly couldn’t tell you if it’s a “good” film or not, because it’s so deeply tied to my childhood that it’s basically part of my DNA at this point. I know every single line by heart. The plot? Complet...
Tower of Terror (TV Movie 1997)
The Princess Diaries is honestly cinematic perfection. Julie Andrews? My forever queen, my moral compass, my everything. This film made me obsessed with San Francisco. I still get emotional thinking about the house they used for Grove High School (ye...
The Princess Diaries (2001)
Pride & Prejudice is pure cinematic serenity. The score alone might be the best of all time. Those piano notes just float and suddenly I’m lighter, softer, calmer. Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Darcy? Say less. You can’t help but fall completely in lov...
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Ella Enchanted is peak Y2K fairytale chaos, and I mean that as the highest compliment. I was SO obsessed with Hugh Dancy when this came out. He was the ultimate charming prince with floppy hair. The whole film is this perfect mix of medieval fantasy ...
Ella Enchanted (2004)
I rewatched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory recently and it hit me exactly how it did when I was a kid: warm, fuzzy nostalgia from start to finish. The opening credits alone gave me all the childhood magic vibes with that soft focus glow. “Pure...
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Saltburn is wild and gorgeous and I’m totally here for every second of it. The score and style alone make it a cinematic mood board. Lush synths, gothic orchestral swells, and seriously, the opulent mansion feels like a character in itself. Some of i...
Saltburn (2023)
I didn’t even know Return to Oz existed before 2020, but now my life is forever changed. The spooky, haunting score sets the perfect mood and the weirdness of this movie is everything. Princess Mombi’s heads, the chicken of it all? It’s dark, strange...
Return to Oz (1985)
Call Me by Your Name is pure sensory bliss. I want to live inside this film. The sun drenched Italian villa, the lazy afternoons, the sound of cicadas echoing through the countryside. Every frame feels like summer in slow motion. The music? Gorgeous....
Call Me by Your Name (2017)
Crazy Rich Asians is one of those movies that just makes me happy. The filming locations are unreal. So colorful and over the top in the best way. I love how it leans into culture and family and still manages to be this big, glittery romantic comedy....
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Eloise at Christmastime just makes me happy. Julie Andrews is perfect (as always) and the whole movie feels like a cozy holiday daydream. Every time I watch it, I start imagining what it would be like to live at the Plaza and spend Christmas in New Y...
