Do you have a favourite movie you watch every year?

Hello there, lovely humans! How are you all doing this fine Friday morning? I have been busy meeting friends and family I haven’t caught up with in ages. It feels like the perfect time to reconnect while everyone’s on a bit of a break.

But, to be honest, today, I’m really in the mood to just sit at home and dive into a movie marathon. It’s a little tradition my brother and I have. We always plan to watch new films, but somehow we always end up with the classics we loved as kids. There’s something about the comfort of those familiar scenes that makes the season feel complete.

"Brigadoon" used to be on every Christmas as I was growing up... then 'poof' it's gone. They haven't played it for decades 😪
If you're able, and would like to watch an old musical love story staring Gene Kelly, then try and get your hands on a copy, sit back, relax, and sing along❣️ They don't make 'em like this anymore.
 
I've watched 'Unbelievable 'on Netflix several times. It's based on fact, and it's editing, story line, and actors are incredible. Really well worth looking at, and the actual female police officers, and serial offender can be seen on YouTube. Treat yourself!

I love having “movie marathons”. Even just thinking about it gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Last night we watched an old movie (1975). “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. I’d heard of it, of course, but had never seen it before. I enjoyed it.
Thats such a good movie l like Jack Nicholson .He was good in ''The horror ''Shining'' but wouldn't want to see it again.You might like'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'' Michael Caine. l watched ''You're Not You'' Hilary Swank not long ago She portrays someone who has ALS it's so sad and just shows what theses people that have this go through

Yes, Jack Nicholson is a great actor.
Thank you for your suggestions. 👍🏻

I would have preferred some upbeat movies such as "The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas" and "The Mist".

Such happy endings!!!
Can't bring myself to watch ''Boy In The Striped Pyjamas'' much too sad .Watched ''The Mist'' a bit drawn out sad ending though.
The movies l will never ever watch again because of there sheer cruelty are.
Jack Ketchums 'The Girl Next Door' based on a true story of what happened to Syvia Likens l just couldn't watch it but l did read about whether she died or not by typing in her name. The other is ''Eden Lake'' another bad ending.
On a lighter note how about ''Overboard '' Goldie Hawn Kurt Russel good comedy
