nothing touches my soul deeper than the sound of music. all of the women in my family have cherished the movie forever, and i grew up listening to the music. everytime i hear that opening song, i cry and am flooded with pure and unadulterated joy. i’m convinced my nana is in fact maria, making it that much sweeter for me. a perfect film that makes me believe that musicals are the closest thing we have to magic.

It perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of what summer always feels like it’s going to be, but somehow never is, in the depths of winter. Even if you hate musicals, it’s a must watch just for how feel-good it is. Especially if you are a woman, the mother and daughter storyline is just the right amount of heart-tugging to bring depth to the sunlit, giddy, and earworm-inducing songs and scenes of the film. I love a profound, intellectual movie as much as the next person, but when the world feels too serious (as it often does), it’s time to pop on Mamma Mia.

i grew up watching movies like singing in the rain, top hat, west side story with my dad - i remember every morning he would wake me up with the "good morning, good morning" song from singing in the rain - i genuinely value those experiences together so much

okay okay i have many recs depending on what u want to watch next. thriller/short series: mindhunter on netflix. INSANEEEE, perfectly shot and well acted. real interviews and lines from those interviews were used in this show, and it’s just an utterly fascinating look into the FBI and the term ā€œserial killerā€ in the 70s. growing up/comedy: GIRLS. look, i know lena dunham is a controversial figure, but she managed to create something that perfect encapsulates what it’s like to be going through your 20’s. sad, hysterical, and real. just insane: the rehearsal. if you haven’t yet acquainted yourself with the world of nathan fielder: please do so. it will change your life. cringe comedy on a whole other level, and this recent season of the rehearsal is possibly the best season of television i have ever seen. light/mystery/drama: big little lies. a classic, layered with drama, scandals, and surprisingly good writing, cinematography, and plot twists.
