My favorite movies Make traveling through Europe in a jiffy. When I am in the mood to have a few days away, but I can't thanks a million for commitments, I arrange the next best thing-picking a DVD and clicking on "play".
The Sound of Music
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes on my nose and eyelashes stay
Brown white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
One of my favorite movies is The Sound of Music. I have never tired of watching every scene! Oh okay, when I was younger, I would always skip the section "climb every mountain" but I've learned to appreciate it now:-)
All locations of the movie leaves me breathless starting with the opening scene. Ahh, Salzburg is just gorgeous! The gardens of Mirabell, the snow-capped mountains, baroque churches plus the numbers never stop to hypnotize me. By the end of the film I'm in the mood to rip down our curtains, sewing me a dress and hop on the next flight to Austria and from there, travel through Europe!
Roman Holiday
"Each, in his own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult-Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live. "
When I'm in the mood for Rome, I think to Roman Holiday. I gave it a few times and I just love the way that the characters and the city itself makes me want to return to Rome.
The film highlights the Spanish steps and the Boca da Verita. Wasn't that scene so cute? Dating couples don't behave like that anymore. Everytime I travel through Europe and arrive in Rome, I always tell myself for a visit to the mouth of the truth, but when I got there, I return from thanks to the long line of art lovers and Roman Holiday fans. :-) Ah, maybe someday soon.
Notting Hill
"I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world know who you are, my mother has trouble remembering my name. "
"I'm also just a girl, standing for a boy, asking him to love her."
I been to London several times but I never been to Notting Hill. I love this movie! Again, it's not only the characters but also the location that me wonder what it really is as in Notting Hill.
When I visit London, I make it a point to go to bookstores, especially the small, quirky are like Thacker (Hugh Grant character) William had. I also love the scene of the park where Hugh Grant says, "whoopsiedaisies." Not to mention the Bank (I wonder if it really exists)! Anyway, I went out and bought a bench because of Notting Hill! So, if you get in the spirit of London, watching this movie ... again:-)
French Kiss
"You're not afraid to fly anymore? You are thinking of your stone cottage? "
"It's on a hill next to a beautiful vineyard. But that's not really what I think about. "
Even if French Kiss is not a classic (to my standards) in comparison with the first three movies that I mentioned this week, I still love the movie because it transports me to France. Paris and the French countryside, c'est magnifique (pardon my French spelling, I'm not really sure of it).
Okay, there were times when I thought Kevin Kline are exaggerated French accent, but this is a comedy and don't we just love trying to speak French? The scenes of the countryside and the family celebration makes you want to go to France not only to enjoy the view but also celebrate the way the French do. After all, life is a party!
After that much-needed 2-hour break where you travel through Europe, you feel refreshed and ready to tackle your obligations with a smile on your face. You have the real thing posted anyway, and pretty soon, actually living it up in Europe.
