#1 Movie in...

1. High School romance: Grease - I want to be pined for, enough for him to change. I want him to be able to sing to me, and even better, dance with me. And the big reveal: I want to look like Olivia in those damn spandex pants.
2. Grownup romance: When Harry Met Sally- To love a funny, quirky man in NY is truly something. When he can endure your quirkiness, priceless. When he is your best friend - you have it all. (You've Got Mail also fits the bill on this one.)
3. Smart men and women I want to hang out with: The American President - Anything Aaron Sorkin writes is worthy of my undying praise in this area.
4. Total female package: Star Wars - Leia kicks ass and all the guys want her (even the slug). She flies, shoots, and don't forget the royalty factor. This flick sums up all my goals.
5. Acceptance: Shallow Hal - anyone who can overlook my less-than-perfect days is a dream date in my book.
6. Motherhood: The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio - I know there are TONS of movies that illustrate how far a mother will go to show love for her children, but this one just said "wow" to me, which is what I have felt about my mother since, well... forever.
7. Friendship: Brokedown Palace - the mystery of the ending just makes the bond more enduring.
8. Boys: Stand By Me -each one teaches us something about the life and view of a young man-so critical to a mom of a young fellow growing up.
9. Magic: The Abyss - An unexplainable higher power, broken yet redeemable love, all under water... ahhhh.
10. Vows: The Notebook - lifetime love...'til death do us part. No need to explain this one further. I'm working on this concept myself.
