FNF: Last Five Films

Awhile back, Ebony did a really cool post about the last 5 films she watched and asked us readers to do a post on the last 5 we did. Well being the procrastinator that I am, I never got around to it until now. Also, all the movies that I have watched are old because the movie rental place we loved closed and there is no chance in hell I am paying $5 a rental at BlockBuster, so I might have to break down and try netflicks. (I like movies enough to do netflicks, but it was kind of our thing to take a walk up to the video store and chat with all of our friends that worked there then buy too much junk food and walk home, oh well, I may have to give netflicks a chance). Anywho, without further ado, here is tonight's Friday Night Feature: Last Five Films.

"It's called a 'lance', Helloooooo!" A knights tale has to be my favorite Heath Ledger movie. It is hilarious and action-oriented as well, which is always a great combination, throw in a little romance? You got a great movie for everyone to enjoy. I think even my Dad liked this one, and he hates everything.  I have to say that I love the soundtrack, all classic rock music! The costumes are second, I love the mix of traditional attire mixed with a slightly modern-rock vibe. And if all of that doesn't get you to watch it, then the late, great Heath Ledger should, he is as handsome as ever in this film...and gets dirty and sweaty.. ;)

Next up we have "I.Q" with Meg Ryan (when she was still cute aka before she had surgery done on herself, ick) and Walter Matthau! I love this movie, because it is simply really cute. It is set in the 1940's, and the plot is pretty simple to follow, a pretty basic romantic comedy. The only thing that bothered me was that Meg Ryan just didn't look like she was from the time period, she dressed alright, but to me, it seems like her hair was always like that in the 90's.  

Speaking of 90's, we have here the 1999 version of "The taming of the shrew". Indeed most 90's teen flicks were famous for throwing as many hot young stars as possible in them, but this one is just too funny to pass up. I really do adore Julia Stiles, we already mentioned Heath (even hotter here with the dark locks), I think Larisa Olenik was great as "Alex Mac" already so I loved her in this movie as a spoiled brat, and of course, my love, Joesph Gordon-Levitt (Kyle pretty much still dresses like his character). This movie has a ton of great parts in it, but my favorite? The pregnancy body-suit the girls have to wear before they go out :)

Next we have one of my favorite movies of all-time , JUNO! I think one of my favorite things about this movie is it captured a lot of the activities and overall mannerisms of what my friends and I were like in high school. Also, all the new lingo I learned. I love calling people I work with "Douche-packers" (okay, maybe only one really jerky guy, but still, the look on his face!) The soundtrack to this movie is the best and I love every song. I have literally left the CD on repeat and annoyed the crap out of Kyle sooooo many times. If you have not seen this movie yet for some reason, please do. It is funny, and witty, and it ends exceptionally well (even if a little predictable). 

Lastly, we have "500 days of Summer", and I could watch this movie a million times and not get sick of it. I am in love with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, ( I even tried to cut Kyle's hair like his once, it was bad) and Zooey is just awesome. This film has an amazing soundtrack as well and I cannot get over how much I love "You make my dreams" by Hall and Oats, and how well they utilized that song in this movie. The wardrobe in this film is so cute and sweet on both Zooey and Joseph (speaking of, this is a really cute look here no?).  Another film that everyone must watch at least once :)

I leave you guys with an adorable video created from She & Him's "Why do you let me stay here" for 500 days of Summer (even though most of you guys have probably seen it).
