Top 5 Thursday: Movies from 1998

First my apologies for the missing top 5 last week. With all the busy stuff I totally forgot! But it's back this week. Let’s take a look at the year 1998, what movies did that year bring us?

5. The Wedding Singer
Okay, probably not one of the best movies of 1998, but a bit of a guilty pleasure. This was in the time that Adam Sandler still made movies worth your time. And he forms a sweet duo with Drew Barrymore.

4. The Faculty
Such a cool movie, although it features all kinds of stereotypical high school students. It’s a Robert Rodriguez movie and it’s an enjoyable film to watch.

3. American History X
This was an intense film, it haunted me for days when I first saw it. Especially that one scene with the man on the curb. You know what I’m talking about. And a fantastic performance by Edward Norton.

2. The Big Lebowski
You gotta love The Dude. In my opinion it’s Jeff Bridges at his best, although he also had some more dramatic roles where he was outstanding in. John Goodman also rocks this movie and I just love it.

1. There’s Something About Mary
It’s probably my number one comedy of all time. Cameron Diaz as the loveable Mary, who everybody loves. And Ben Stiller…. How cute was he and everyone felt sorry for him. That zipper scene, auch! I can still see the image.

Top 5 Thursday: Romantic Gestures in Movies

Although I'm single, and happy about it, it doesn't mean I don't have a good sense of romance in me. I can be a hopeless romantic sometimes. The romantic moments in movies, hardly ever happen to real life people. Here are my five favorite romantic gestures as seen in movies.

5. The Library from “Beauty and the Beast”
The Beast gives his library to Belle. I wish I could have walls stacked with books, including a sliding ladder.

4. The Goose Chase from “Amélie”
Amélie setting up a wild goose chase for her beloved Nino all through Paris. I just love that, even women can make great romantic gestures.

3. Singing the Song from “The Wedding Singer”
Adam Sandler boards a plane and enlists the help of Billy Idol in order to serenade Drew Barrymore with his heartfelt song "Growing Old With You."

2. Daffodils from “Big Fish”
Edward is so in love with Sandra, he plants an entire field full of daffodils, her favorite flowers.

1. Boombox from “Say Anything”
John Cusack blasts Peter Gabriel outside Ione Skye’s window. Why doesn’t it ever happen to me?

They almost made the top 5: You’re Just to Good to Be True from “10 Things I Hate About You”, Orange Tic-Tacs from “Juno” Walking into the Factory from "An Officer and a Gentleman" and The Last Meatball from “Lady and the Tramp”
