Since all of us are now "going to the movies" at home for the foreseeable future, I decided to share some amazing movies that we have watched over the last year. We have watched a lot of tv, but who hasn't, but there are truly some great movies that made an impression on me. I came across this article from Town & Country yesterday which got me to thinking, and adding new ones to my list, what would I recommend? So ... here you go, my top picks from all of our watching.
I have to preface this by saying I really do like all kinds of movies. I am not super picky about what we watch, and am usually up for trying something new. However ... I do not like a ton of science fiction so I am not the best in this genre. You can catch me watching anything from Pride & Prejudice to Lethal Weapon and most things in between. I typically choose something romantic and mystery related if I the one who gets to choose. 😉
First up, Emma. This was my last movie theatre watch before quarantine hit. I have since watched it a number of times and it now sits up under Pride & Prejudice as a true fave. The homes are to die for and the clothes, so very good.
This movie was sooo good. I came upon it in recommendations and I was immediately sucked in. I have not read the book, but I should. The details of the story is truly so precious and heartwarming. I would watch this again and again, I give The Guernsey Literary Society & Potato Peel Society five stars.
This one was good. I love a great thriller and the relationship between the father and daughter hit me hard. I cried at the end, not because it ended poorly, it was actually really sweet. Three Days To Kill was a good watch, five stars for sure.
I found this movie fascinating. My father is retired from The New York Times and I thought this story was so interesting about the workings of a newspaper and trying to make it successful. Meryl Streep is just so good in all things, so The Post was a five star watch for me.
Paige...you must read the "...Potato Peel..." book - its rather different from the movie and so much better. You will really enjoy it! And the "Bergdorf" book as well - I read it and loved it! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome list. We have seen Just Mercy, and it gets five stars for sure. Have you seen Bridgerton? It was wonderful too. Thanks, Paige.
