My dad loves ferris bueller’s day off and oceans eleven. ive watched both upwards of a dozen times and can now quote them back and forth with him. Meanwhile, my mom loves pride and prejudice (2006) and four weddings and a funeral. I’m thankful for their interest in showing me movies when I was little and as Ive grown up.
My mom became much more of a movie watcher later in life. We saw When Harry Met Sally in the theater together. She alsoloved Love Actually, Benny & June and Juno. And older classics I don’t remember. My dad would crack up watching Airplane, Young Frankenstein and Murder by Death. Also was very into Top Gun!
Remember how weird everyone else is. Remember that you’re everyone else. You belong with these people. Your community is spread out in front of you, sprawled along takeout cups, staring at their phones, trying to get home.
