The Virgin Suicides (1999). Directed By: Sofia Coppola. Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett, Kathleen Turner, James Woods.

The Virgin Suicides was Sofia Coppola’s debut feature film. And goodness what a debut it was! It’s odd how you can fall so in love with a movie about five miserable teenagers who kill themselves, but there’s this certain magic to the mystery of the whole story that is undeniably addicting. One of my very favorite things about the way this movie was made, is that it’s told very closely from the point of view of the boys across the street, and you don’t realize it until the very end. Throughout the movie there are all these moments where you realize you have hardly any idea what is truly going on. And that even though Lux is essentially the main character, you know hardly a thing about her. Then, you realize it’s because Coppola, in all her brilliance, is trying to make you, as a viewer, feel the same sense of mystery about the girls and the whole situation as those boys felt as they collected their remains and tried to put the pieces together. It’s enchanting, mysterious, fun, and just plain beautiful.

Pride and Prejudice (2005). Directed By: Joe Write. Starring: Kierra Knightly, Matthew Macfayden.

This movie is the most beautiful perfect chick flick/period piece that has ever been made ever. I can say that with certainty. The thing I enjoy most about this film is that I actually love the sappy parts … and that never happens. It’s just … it makes you believe in true love and want to wear beautiful dresses and speak in a British accent while romping around the countryside giggling about handsome young men. What more could a girl ask for?

Almost Famous (2000). Directed By: Cameron Crowe. Starring: Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Francis McDormand, Zooey Deschenel.

This is one of my all time favorites. It’s one of those perfect movies. The ones you come away from feeling completely satisfied, no gaping plot holes, no bad performances, just good music and a lot of heartfelt fun. It made me want to tour with a band.

A fun fact about Almost Famous: it is somewhat autobiographical for Cameron Crowe who was an aspiring young journalist who got an opportunity to travel with a band and cover a story about them.

An interesting fact about the making of the film Blue Valentine - Similar to Like Crazy, there was no script written. The actors were given a detailed story outline, and in rehearsals, they worked to find the reality of their characters together. The film jumps between Dean and Cindy in their college years as they are just meeting and discovering their romance, and them as a married couple living with their daughter in a very broken home. To create these two completely different worlds, the earlier portion of the film was shot first, and then Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams lived together for a couple months. They both gained some weight and their hair changed drastically. But that’s all superficial. What they found was a place of truth within the relationship of their characters, so when shooting picked up, they were completely in tune with each other. It is so successful when you watch them together on screen. I didn’t doubt for a second they had been married for years.
