5 Rom Coms to Watch Again & Again

By

 Are there any movies that you would like to watch again and again? There were a few romantic comedy films of the '90s and 2000s that I had repeatedly watched but never got tired of. Today, I will be listing these films.

1. 50 First Dates: How adorable is the chemistry between the 2 lead characters, Henry (Adam Sandler) and Lucy (Drew Barrymore) in this 2004 film. Drew Barrymore's Lucy is cute and lovable, with whom one feels empathy, and Sandler's Henry is equally likeable. Both the actors' equations in the film were to the point. In spite of the repetitive nature of the incidents, the film creates a lasting impression and a pleasant feel.


2. The Ugly Truth: This  2009 film is another example of the sizzling chemistry between its lead pair, Katherine Heigl as Abby and Gerard Butler as Mike. Butler is scorchingly hot, and Heigl is as charming as ever. The 2 ambitious people and their growing bond with some uncomfortable sexual tension are the most memorable moments of the film. Both the actors are outstanding.


3. Something's Gotta Give: When 2 very different people come together, putting all their differences behind them and then gelling like bread and butter, the outcome is tasty.  That's what this 2003 film starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton is all about. Both the leads are 2 very unfunny characters, an ageing playboy and an acclaimed dramatist, who start a relationship due to unavoidable circumstances, break apart, move forward, get into new relationships, and ultimately realize that they are meant to be together and then come back. One will love the film for the electrifying performances of the lead pair.


4. Intolerable Cruelty: This 2003 film is about the continued rivalry between a lawyer, Miles (George Clooney) and his client's ex-wife Marilyn (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Both the actors are simply gorgeous and incredibly funny. Their ever-growing hatred, ultimately turning into a sweet romance, is enjoyable. The dialogues are hilarious, and some of the characters in the film are equally funny. 


5. Sweet Home Alabama: Reese Witherspoon plays Melanie in this 2002 rom-com- an ambitious designer who is engaged to the suave and charming Andrew (Patrick Dempsey), but there is a glitch and that is her high school sweetheart and husband, Jake (Josh Lucas). The whole situation is messed up, and she tries to take control of it by going to her hometown in Alabama. However, things do not go her way, but finally, everything ends well. Witherspoon is so good, sometimes she is likeable, sometimes one wants to hate her and sometimes one will feel sorry for her.

Top 5 Films Based on Communal/Civil Wars and Internal Feuds

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever

I have always avoided films like "Drunken Master" and other movies that begin and end with a fight. The same goes for mindless action films too. However, there are a few movies that I have watched that may seem incredibly foolish and dumb but if you manage to watch those you will realise they are quite clever. So, here is my list of 5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever. 1. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: When 2 worthless friends go for a vacation, their adventures turn into a disastrous misadventure and a massacre due to misunderstandings and unfortunate turn of events. This movie is gory, bloody and yet stupidly hilarious. The execution style is of a slapstick comedy with the chills and thrills of a gory slasher, making it a unique dark comedy. How some people's false assumptions about 2 people turn into a nightmare for both parties is the main story behind this goofy massacre. 2. One Cut of the Dead: In the beginning this film looks like a low-budget mindless zombie flick, ...
