Day 2 of blog challenge:

Well, here's day two, and today we have to list "your favorite movie". Again, just like naming your favorite music was difficult, this presents a challenge as well since I'm a big movie buff.


But, I'll list a few movies in no particular order that have stayed with me over the years.

•   I just loved this adaption of Jane Austen's P&P (who doesn't love Colin as Mr. Darcy). I watch a Jane Austen marathon at least a couple of times in the year, i watch most of the adaptions of her novels.
•  What can be said about this film. Okay, yes it is a very southern movie, and prob on the conservative side but it had a beautiful ending. I just love the southern atmosphere of the film, and the ending of this film is touching. I love the title, it suggests that women can be as delicate as a magnolias but touch as steel, this is true when it comes to M'Lynn. I love how she took her daughters death, how she was the last one there as her daughter was taken of life support. One of my favorite quotes from the film was:  M'Lynn: I find it amusing. Men are supposed to be made out of steel or something. I just sat there. I just held Shelby's hand. There was no noise, no tremble, just peace. Oh god. I realize as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life.  
•  Not enough words can describe this film, truly a great film. I just loved this idea of the afterlife, honestly I feel as though it is a beautiful thought worth keeping and how wonderful if our dreams could live on even after death. That, even though our physical bodies have died, that our minds (what makes us who we are, our essence) would continue to live on, free from the shackles and limits that we have in this present state of being (reality in this afterlife is only as limited as your imagination). I love the idea of a love that can almost overcome death, that continues even after death. Superb acting, superb story line, overall a beautiful film that is a must watch.
