So last week in the run-up to the big event* Sunday night I reminisced about some of my favorite good movies...(*okay I say big event but it looks like it will be me, my DVR and twitter hanging out since the Mr is running off to see Kris Kristofferson & Merle Haggard - okay that's actually lots cooler)
but since guilty pleasures are a lot more fun I reached back to the first time I can remember watching the Academy Awards and that was in 1985 hoping to catch a glimpse of the Purple One who showed up to accept a best Original Song Oscar...if you can ignore the acting Purple Rain is actually pretty thrilling - the music scenes are totally fantastic...and it forever remains lodged in my memory as the first movie I ever saw with a "dirty" scene (teehee...if my mother only knew!). Plus, now that I live in MPLS I still get a kick out of catching it on VH1 and seeing First Ave & Lake Minnetonka...
So what are your favorite guilty pleasure films? The ones you can't resist getting sucked into? Just to get you started...how about Urban Cowboy with Cissy & Bud? or anyone try to force their preteen nieces into watching Girls Just Want to have Fun with a young SJP? Never miss a chance to quote Maverick and Ice Man?
Hope everyone has a fun weekend ahead and I'll see you here Monday ready to debate all manner of red carpet couture!
xoxo, M

My boyfriend grew up in Minnetonka and I love to tease him by asking if he has "purfied himself in Lake Minnetonka" (isn't that the Purple Rain quote? I sure hope so, otherwise I've been saying something crazy for years!)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to be a part of your recipe exchange! Sorry for the late post! But I everyone enjoys it this weekend! Wishing you a lovely weekend! Stay warm in this crazy weather! xo Samantha
ReplyDeleteDirty Dancing has a special place in my heart. Can't even begin to guess how many times I watched it growing up. Reality Bites was also a comfort to watch during college.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Favorite guilty pleasures... Clueless, Legally Blonde & Christmas Vacation. Oh, and who doesn't love Tom Cruise in Top Gun? So fine. Hope you had a fabulous weekend.
