Great Movies :)
I have a passion for film which is why I am majoring in telecommunications. With that passion, I have seen many movies, some that are well-known, and others that most people haven't heard of.
Here are just 10 movies that I would recommend.
10. Arsenic and Old Lace (It is a classic, and Cary Grant is extremely good looking.)
9. Wait Until Dark (One of the lesser known movies starring Audrey Hepburn.)
8. The Breakfast Club (It is sad that some people haven't seen this movie.)
7. Stand by Me (A great adventure with a pretty good theme.)
6. Gangs of New York (Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors I've ever seen.)
5. Better Off Dead (Funniest 80's movie EVER!)
4. Benny and Joon (A lesser known johnny Depp movie. He is another incredible actor.)
3. Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors.)
2. Rain Man (One of the only movies starring Tom Cruise that I like.)
1. (500) Days of Summer (The greatest movie of the summer!)
Oldies
I've really been getting into oldies music lately...
Here is just one of the songs that has been running through my head.
Sugar, Sugar
by the Archies
Sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
Honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the one to love this feeling to.
(I just can't believe it's true)
Ah sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
Ah honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)
Sugar, pour a little sugar on it honey,
Pour a little sugar on it baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Pour a little sugar on it oh yeah
Pour a little sugar on it honey,
Pour a little sugar on it baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Pour a little sugar on it honey,
Ah sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
Oh honey, honey, sugar sugar ..
You are my candy girl ..I
