DVD Collection Update (19)

It's time for another DVD collection update. I've got 13 new ones since the beginning of January. To warn you, I went on a Disney shopping spree!

I got the first season of "Downton Abbey". I wanted to know why people loved it (and off course I wanted to see Dan Stevens...). And I now know why, it's loads of fun.

And if you know me a little bit, I also immediatley had to buy the second season. It has become a guilty pleasure of mine.

"In Bruges" is one of the funniest movies in the dark comedy genre. I really like Colin Farrel in this film, but Ralph Fiennes steals the show as the villain. his insults are hilarious! 

An absolute classic, sometimes I feel like buying one of those. "Psycho" deserves that title, because it's one of the best classic movies ever. And pretty scary too!

"Das Leben der Anderen" is one of the best non-English spoken movies. It's not a very spectaculair movie, but it's so well made and acted.

I went to see "Neighbors" last year with my cousin Linda. It was so much fun, finally a new comedy that could make me laugh. So when it came out, I just had to add it to my collection.

"Begin Again" is movie that puts an instant smile on your face. I just love this movie, I loved Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley in this film. Really worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.

It was criticized, but I don't know why. I think "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" was an amazing film. Off course it could never top the first, but it's still a great movie!

"The Little Mermaid" was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. I think I've only seen it once after that experience, so it was time for me to own it.

I actually never saw the Disney animated version of "Alice in Wonderland", so this will be another view for my movie challenge.

Just thinking of that terrible scene in "Bambi" makes me sad, but I also remember how great the entire animation was. And adorable with all those cute animals.

I also never saw the animated Disney version of "Robin Hood", so another movie on my to-watch list for my challenge.

I think I saw the live action version more often, but I really need to watch the animated "101 Dalmatians" again.

Top 5 Thursday: Animated Disney Movies (No Pixar)

I love Disney, everything that has to do with Disney. I listed my five favorite Pixar movies and Pixar characters, but I never made a top 5 of my favorite animated movies by Disney (Pixar not included). So here they are.

5. Bambi

This movie starts very depressing and sad, but it's one the most beautiful Disney movies ever made. And Thumper, OMG how cute.

4. The Rescuers Down Under

I've seen this movie too many times, but I have to rewatch it again! It's been to long. Fun characters, like Frank and Wilbur. I enjoy this film every single time.

3. 101 Dalmatians 

Puppies, lots of puppies. This movie made some different artistic choices, which didn't make Disney happy at first. But those artistic choices difference "101 Dalmatians" from the rest. With that I just love the dogs as well as the leading humans Anita and Roger. And Cruelle De Vil is a flamboyant villain.

2. The Lion King

I remember seeing this in the theatre when I was invited to a birthday party. A jawdropping movie experience I can tell you! I actually saw this movie in theatres again last year, when it was rereleased in 3D. And everytime I cry when Mufasa dies.

1. Beauty and the Beast

I don't think it will ever leave the top spot. When I saw this movie for the first time, I was a fan. I wanted to have everything from that movie, I wanted to be Belle and I sang every song every day. It's an amazing movie!

They almost made the top 5: The Jungle Book, Oliver & Company, Lady and the Tramp, Brother Bear
