24) Singin' in the Rain

"Singin' in the Rain" was FANTASTIC! So far it is most definitely my favorite movie that I watched from this list. The plot was so interesting to movie fanatics like myself and the actors were really talented. I liked the most how these actors could really act, sing, and dance. They are the true definition of a triple threat. The love story was very moving. I want a guy to be so in love with me that he gets soaked in the rain singing because he is so happy. I also wish that i could randomly burst into song and dance and others would pick up and join me, but that's a little far fetched. The songs are really good, I especially loved "Would you". That song is so beautiful and made me cry. When Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) set the stage to tell Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds) that he likes her and sings that song, my heart melted. The backdrop was a sunrise and there were different color lights and a slight wind. Gene Kelly has such an amazing voice and so does Debbie Reynolds, and they can both dance too. Cosmo was hilarious as Don's best friend, he could sing and dance well too, but i specifically liked his goofy nature. Lina was really funny because of her voice. She was beautiful but her voice was so funny to listen to. She really made me angry though how she manipulated people and wanted all the fame, even by trying to destroy Kathy's career and the relationship between Don and Kathy. All in all, everyone needs to see this movie! It is not an annoying musical but the songs make sense in the context. Such a great movie! I would consider it one of my favorite movies of all time.

56) Rebel Without A Cause

 I watched "Rebel Without A Cause" last Wednesday February 13th and then finished it last night, February 17th. James Dean is so dreamy. I say this about almost every leading guy in these old movies, but for James Dean I truly mean it. I highly recommend this movie, not just because you will have a crush on James Dean by the end of it (even if you're a gentleman), but it truly is a really good movie. At the end, I was confused by what happened because it jumps around a lot and a different plot line seems to form halfway through. Judy is clearly really annoying. Why is it that all these leading ladies drive me crazy? Judy drives me crazy because she has known Jim for a full day and then professes her love for him. The time frame in this movie is very confusing. Everything happens in one day, but it is the worst and longest day of these kids lives. Plato is hopelessly in love with Jim. Shawna said that Plato wasn't in love with Jim, but just a loner who wanted a friend. I disagree. Plato was DEFINITELY not only crazy but severely in love with Jim. He followed Jim around everywhere and freaked out when Jim wouldn't come over and then have breakfast in the morning. Also, at the big mansion, Plato fell asleep and Jim and Judy wanted some alone make out time so they left him and Plato decided to freak out and start shooting. This probably doesn't make sense unless you see the movie or read the summary I will put at the bottom. Once you do read or see this movie, you will understand my rants about it. Another one crossed off the list! This truly is a classic movie and it is almost like a Lifetime movie where every genre of movie you could want is available. Sorry if my writing is a little crazy, i bumped my head hard yesterday AND today so my mind is a little fried. Next movie will be coming soon! Keep trucking along with me!

11) Pulp Fiction

So on this lazy Saturday instead of going skiing in Nemo, my friends and I decided to cross one of the movies off of my list. We went to the library after delicious brunch at school, and we decided to watch "Pulp Fiction". We didn't realize that this movie was 3 hours long until after hour 1. I was very intrigued with this movie. I heard that it was a classic and good movie and it really did keep my attention. However, at the end of the movie, my friends, Shawna and Lisa, said that we just wasted 3 hours of our life that we will never get back. For me, I realized I wasted 3 hours of napping and gaining strength to dance tonight. I had never seen a Quentin Tarantino film before so I wasn't used to this type of movie. I am very open to artistic styles of filming but in this movie there were so much going on that after each part had it's own climax, the movie itself never reached a particular climax. All in all, it just seems stupid now. I'm not sure if it is because we are girls watching this movie, but some of my other friends said that they loved this movie. Well, the highlight of this day is going to be as per usual the food I consume. I LOVE brunch and now my friend Elaine is making dinner for us for her birthday. We should probably be cooking dinner for her, but she wants to cook so I am not going to object! I got two other movies from the library that i will hopefully cross off soon!
