The Five Unwavering

I've always told people to never ask me what my favorite, well anything is, because I don't have one. My favorites are always changing. You could ask me what my favorite song is one day and the next week it'll be something completely different. The same goes for food, colors, movies, TV shows, and anything else. I mean, sometimes my favorite [insert object] will stick around for a long time. Several months, or even years, but eventually something else will take it's place. Movies/TV shows are what tend to stick around the longest.

However, despite the fact that I will have a new favorite movie, I have come to realize that there are five movies that have remained constant in my life as favorites. I mean, I know, even if you grow out of something and it's not your favorite you can still like it, but that's not what I'm talking about here. I mean that these five movies are, and always will be, five of my favorite movies no matter what else comes along. Each of these five were in the top spot at some point in my life and then I moved on... or so I thought. But every time any of them are brought up, or I have an opportunity to watch them, I get just as excited as I was when they were in the top spot. I will probably never say no if someone asks if I want to watch one of them.

They are...

1) The Mask of Zorro

2) While You Were Sleeping

3) The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)

4) Tangled

5) Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

I'm pretty sure I've talked about all of them at some point in my past posts. I just love them all so much! The Mask of Zorro and The Scarlet Pimpernel kind of fall into the same category with the swashbuckling, mystery, old-time hero type of genre. Of course they are very different in many aspects too, but I love them both! And While You Were Sleeping is my all-time favorite rom-com! It is just so brilliantly written and hilarious! And Tangled... I just won't get into my eternal love for that one. But it is boundless! Then Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs? I can't really tell you exactly why I love it as much as I do. It might have something to do with the fact that it's based off of one of my favorite books as a kid, but I just love the dumb humor and the randomness of it. I know theres lots of movies like that, but there's just something about this one that tickles my fancy more than the others.

Now, it's not to say that these could NEVER be knocked out of their place. I'm just saying that they sure have stuck around for a long time.
