One of our favorite things to do at our house is watch great movies. We love to pile on the couch, pop a huge bowl of buttered popcorn, and indulge in cinematic bliss. Our favorite learning and lifestyle coach, Julie Bogart from Brave Writer, includes movie nights as part of the Brave Writer Lifestyle. For our designated “Movie Nights,” I wanted to create a list of movies that are worthy to make our cut. By “worthy” I mean movies that inspire. Movies that make us feel. Movies that ignite our imaginations and our appreciation for the craft. Movies that use beautiful language, visuals, and acting to make us cry, laugh, hold our breath. A movie that sparks a long, animated conversation is always a winner!
Here is our list of movies, many of which are also books that we love as well:
(Bear in mind that my kids are 8, 6, and 3. This is a living list. It evolves as we evolve…)
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Lemony Snickets: A Series of Unfortunate Events
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer
The Goonies (Thanks to a fellow Brave Writer for this reminder!)
Please feel free to suggest your favorites as we are always looking for more delicious movie experiences!
