Movies I Love

I don't think I could live without movies. I'm not much for television and commercials. I like to get in and get out, so to speak. Get involved with the characters, get to know and understand them, relate to them, feel their experiences as they do, feel good about how it all worked out, and move on to the next.

A television series is hard for me to follow. First off, I haven't had cable in years. So if I happen to remember that so-and-so is playing Wednesday at 7PM and I happen to catch it, I most likely will forget that by next Wednesday at 7PM. Secondly, I want to watch all the episodes back to back. I guess I'm a pretty impatient viewer. I want the characters to figure it all out, learn their lesson, and find their one true love in about ninety minutes give or take. And I'm okay with that albeit high expectation, because we have Netflix. And that lovely gem feeds my dramatic, comedic, romantic, mysterious, and independent film hunger on a very regular basis.

So, here is a list of movies that I love, in no particular order:
(Most can be found under "quirky independent dysfunctional-family movies" in a quick Netflix search.)
