Chef

I hate the term "food-porn", but it is a bit stimulating like food-porn.
One thumbs up, and the storyline with his son is really sweet too.

Captain America: Civil War

When Chris Evans pulls back the helicopter, and his biceps and triceps are bulging... OH YES!
One thumbs up, and god he is so handsome!

Marley and Me

I feel somewhat reassured that Josh would not allow a dog to be so badly trained hahah!
Half a thumbs up.

The Lobster

The French maid dancing amongst the other poncho and backpack clad silent dancers in the forest!
One thumbs up for the agony of unanswered questions, and one thumbs up for Parknasilla Hotel, Ireland for actual being as beautiful as it was filmed.

The Princess Bride

I laughed when he flops his arm for the "hands in" gee up.
Zero thumbs up, it was okay but by no means as good as 8/10 on IMDB or its internet popularity.

Rush Hour 2

SHAAMON!
One thumbs up, hehehe.

Tropic Thunder

Never go full retard.
One thumbs up, and 1-1 in Battleship.

You've Got Mail

Annabelle's singing (and Tom Hanks' exasperated face) always makes me laugh, but she is so pretty and sweet; she can get away with it. 
Two thumbs up, and personal thumbs up to me for rising to the challenge after coffee buttercream ultimate fail. 

An Education

I always cry when her dad talks to her through the door, with tea and biscuits in hand, because I feel that is exactly what my dad would be like.
One and a half thumbs up, and extra points for the Paris montage on its own - it is divine!

The Graduate

I did not like it at all in the beginning (oh that went from Mrs Robinson introduction to clothes off very quickly), but then it all came together and was very charming and surprisingly funny!
One and a half thumbs up - it was sweet, awkwardly hilarious and naive, a bit dark and vintage beautiful.

Ocean's Eleven

This was made in 2002. That is 14 years ago! Crazy!
Two thumbs up - it still holds up very well.

Manhattan














I turned around to Josh at that exact moment and said it was so beautiful, not knowing it was iconic or on the DVD cover.
One thumbs up - was afraid it would just be about Woody Allen and an underage girl, but it moved on quite nicely, and I liked this much better than what I remembered of Annie Hall.

Kung Fu Panda 3

Free popcorn at the Dendy for "family movies." Woohoo!
Zero thumbs up - meh, I laughed a few times but mostly at the goose dad.

Gone With The Wind














"I'm thinking about how rich we are"
I love how both these quotes are from the same character - Scarlett is everything.
Two thumbs up, but personal thumbs down to Rhett because he is a very violent and rapey husband.

The Devil Wears Prada






















Stumbled across these beauties:
Two thumbs up - I was supposed to go to bed but then this came on, and then well,
of course I must watch it.

The Help

Jessica Chastain is never immediately recognisable.
One thumbs up, and just found out Bryce Dallas Howard is Ron Howard's daughter.

Finding Nemo

When we were at the Great Barrier Reef, Josh and I saw a family of Nemos in an anemone home also overlooking the vast ocean! It was a highlight!
Two thumbs up - my comfort movie this morning (damn sniffles).
