However it's not a film I could watch all the time. I tend to think of My Best Friend's Wedding as a great because I think its great to have the comfort and humour of a chick flick with a sad ending and not everything working out perfectly. I also really love Juno for the same reasons, that mix between lighthearted and funny bits on teenage life and the sadder, serious side of teenage pregnancy. I also love Juno more everytime I watch it which I think is the mark of a great film.<br /><br />Also loved your example though, Its a Wonderful Life definetly a big one too.<br /><br />So sad about Kevin McGee and the papers are at it again with Stephen Gately, one paper was talking about the cost of his 'wedding' ring, whats more ridiculous is on the daily mail website people were complaining about them using the words at all, even with the patronising quote marks. I feel very sorry for Matt Lucas, I remember thinking when Heath Ledger died its worse in a way to be the ex wife/husband because youre not the treated like the grieving widow and people dont know how respond you even though you obviously loved the person.Abbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878802582814893123.post-5199222035130859392009-10-14T14:24:15.987+01:002009-10-14T14:24:15.987+01:00Loved the Elle article, particularly the people wh...Loved the Elle article, particularly the people who were brave enough to choose things like Watership Down rather than the really arty or foreign films! I asked my housemates about the whole idea of a film being 'life-changing' and none of us could think of anything that has actually made such a revelationary impact. <br /><br />But if I had to choose a film... well I'd probably choose the ones I watch over and over again and talk about all the time, particularly Kidulthood and Sex and the City. Neither of them are going to promote cinematic revolutions and they don't have any ground-breaking philosophic content, but I love them and keep watching them because they are current. They make me laugh and cry and flinch and I think that's all I really want from a film, something I can engage with emotionally without too much thought. <br /><br />Freya xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
