Fall flicks

Sorry I've been a little MIA guys. It took a little bit to recoup from my weekend trip!
I'll try to get back into regular posting tonight. What am I doing now that's oh so important? Currently, I'm watching Twilight. It was cold and grey today, and it reminded me of Forks. So, off I went to find the Megavideo file....

(Does anyone else hate that video stores don't really exist anymore? When I spontaneously want to watch a movie that ISN'T on Netflix Instant, it's really infuriating.)

OK, back to Twilight. It's terrible. No, seriously. Robert Pattinson and his tousled, highlighted hair are the film's only saving graces. However, it still reminds me of fall, which means I'll continue to watch it.

But, maybe you aren't into vampires and awkward lip-biting (Kristen Stewart, I'm talking about you). That's cool. Here are some other great movies to get you in an autumn mood.

Chick Flicks:

1. Runaway Bride -- Who didn't want to get married outside, on horseback, in the fall after watching this?

2. Stepmom -- I love Julia Roberts, but Ed Harris is nice to look at too.

3. When Harry Met Sally -- The ultimate romantic comedy. I always come away wanting to wear oversized tweed jackets, mock turtlenecks, and loafers. Usually, I come to my senses and realize that's not a good look on anyone except Meg Ryan circa 1988. Usually...

4. Practical Magic -- My dear readers, let me tell you a story. Once, when I was younger (read: 13 or so) I watched this movie. By the end of it, I was in tears. It has a pretty uplifting ending, so why was I sobbing? I was upset that it ended. I was devastated that I didn't live a picturesque life in New England like Sandra Bullock. What can I say? I'm a dreamer. The point is this:  this movie was so good that I cried when it ended. You should watch it.

Halloween Movies:

1. Hocus Pocus -- This is just a classic. Bette Midler and SJP? And to reinforce my point...

2. Casper -- I'm going to be honest here. (The anonymity of the Internet does that.) I know everyone had a crush on Casper, but I had a crush on Stinky. Yes. The smelly, awkward, brother-ghost. There's no accounting for taste I guess. After some Googling, I now have a crush on his twin -- this dog.

3. Phoebe in Wonderland -- This isn't about Halloween, but there is a great scene where the two sisters go trick-or-treating. One dresses like Karl Marx. Beyond the Halloween connection, the movie in general is fantastic. It stars Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning's younger sister. This girl can act.

Horror

No need for a run down of these movies. They're pretty standard. Halloween is a must-watch for me.  I'm also a huge Hitchcock fan, if you couldn't tell.

1. Halloween
2. The Birds
3. Psycho
4. Rear Window
5. The Strangers
6. Hide and Seek

Ok. I'm done. I'm not sure this post makes any sense, but here you are Internets. Have at it.

UPDATE: I forgot about Fly Away Home. Add that to the list!
