I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet.

I don't think I have any certain ones I go for but I love all of the movies you posted! I guess I would probably go for the romance type or the Day After Tomorrow/Twister/Volcano type of movie :-)

I'm heading out to buy The King's Speech and maybe The Sarah Jane Chronicles, if I can find it...
ReplyDeleteMy top 6 movies: Ever After, Mean Girls, The Princess Bride, Stardust, Enchanted and Mamma Mia!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm sick, I like to watch TV series or whatever catches my eye on Netflix.
So many good titles here! Some of my favourites include Letters to Juliet, Julie and Julia, Mama Mia, Twister, The Proposal, Christmas Vacation (around Christmas), The Holiday, 27 Dresses, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle.... I have a few.
ReplyDeleteI adore The Holiday. Probably because I dream of owning a little cottage to run away to from time to time.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favs I could watch again and again (watch as I date myself) would be Practical Magic and French Kiss.
I had forgotten about Ever After. I have it somewhere and will dig it out. My favorite is While you Were Sleeping. Most of my favorites seem to have a Christmas theme.

Freedom Writers, The Devil Wears Prada, The Last Holiday, The Prince and Me... to name a few!!
