From my very early childhood 5 and under it would be :
Christmas Eve on Sesame Street Little princess with Shirley Temple Wrinkles in need of cuddles Later childhood: Sandlot League of their own Troop Beverly Hills Then and now Home alone |
amazed at DCUM's ability to find snark in any/everything. |
Oops, obviously I meant Willie Wonka... Just read son the book so messed up the titles in my head. |

Beauty and the beast “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than i can tell” is my favorite. Such a beautiful depiction of having dreams and feeling stuck.. and not knowing you’ll be surprised with change just around the corner! Also being the odd one out but standing up for important things and for yourself. Being really brave.
Sarah Plain and Tall, with Glenn Close! I just LOVED it, and I still do. I absolutely couldn’t get a copy so I found it on YouTube and showed it to my young daughter. It.. seems like a boring movie. I could tell she was like “what is this?” But it turns out so exciting. Lots of sisterhood (with the sweet neighbor mom), stubbornness, learning how to open a cold heart. Simpler time but still, humans have always been complicated! Ferris Bueller. Watched it every.time.i.was.sick. Including faking sick (we’d call them mental health days now). Pride & prejudice AND Sense and Sensibility (Thompson! Winslet! Hot Willoughby! Hugh grant! Alan Rickman!! Young Lucy Boynton! Everyone!!) with possibly the latter movie edging out the former for my favorite. Nuff said. Jane Austen. So good. |
