You know the movies I’m talking about. They’re playing on a cable TV station with a million commercials, and you still opt to put them on for background noise. You could recite practically the entire script you’ve watched it so much, but you still love it. I love hearing about other people’s “background” movies. I feel like it tells me so much about them, and a little bit of a window into their lives. I’ve found that the movies that I listen to over and over again are usually the ones that I watched during the years of my life where I was really starting to come into my own as an adult. Maybe you’re the same 🙂

Good Will Hunting. Hands down my favorite movie to this day of all time. I love the writing. The quick banter and dialogue and deep character development. Robin Williams is brilliant. My Dad still texts me lines from this movie sometimes – it’s one of those loves that we’ll always share.

The Notebook. The epic love story. How Allie almost chose someone else. How Noah never stopped loving her. I’d imagine meeting someone that loved me enough to write me a letter every day for a year when I was in high school and this first came out. (I’m still waiting on those letters, Nathan.). I could just watch it and fall in love over and over again. And then cry at the ending. Every. Single. Time.

She’s All That. My guilty early 2000’s rom com guiltiest pleasure. I feel like everyone that was going through high school around my age has one – Never Been Kissed. Ten Things I Hate About You. Mine is She’s All That. It is awfully good. And I never get tired of it.

What are your background movies???
