Day 2 - Your Favorite Movie

Another tough one! I have to say I will always be a die hard fan of Back to the Future! All three are actually wonderful. Most people say the third one, in the Wild West, is awful, but I think it is hysterical. The second one going into the future is just awesome, and the first is a classic! I had a huge poster in my dorm all four years of college and I flirted with the idea of being Marty McFly one year for Halloween. My dream car is a DeLorean, I even debated fully throwing myself into driving stick (*shudder*) to do it. Two years ago when Angelyn, Anna Laura and I went to the National Mall for the 4th of July I was ecstatic because Huey Lewis and the News played and totally sang Back in Time. Amazing. The kitchyness of the 80s in this movie also cracks me up a bit. The orange puffy vest and the music and the shoes... so cool.



My other favorite I have to mention is Under the Tuscan Sun. Diane Lane is just wonderful in this movie and it makes me want to pack my bags, move to Tuscanny, and find a cool villa. It is funny, it is a great story, and it always makes me feel better when I am in a terrible mood. One time when Ryan and I were still dating we had a huge (and very stupid) fight. In a mess of tears I called my best friend Sam. We talked for a bit and she told me the movie was on Oxygen. I didn't get that channel but I popped in my DVD and we sat quietly together on the phone watching it, her in Florida, me in Maryland. After we hung up I put it back to the beginning and watched it over and over until I could fall asleep. Now whenever I am sad or down I always pop that movie in and I feel myself just getting much lighter and happier. I really want to go to Tuscany with Ryan. He is such a wine buff that he would be in heaven. The food would be amazing and the scenery would take our breaths away.

Someday.
