[erin-x]

Moulin Rouge (even though it is a little depressing in the end)
50 First Dates or The Wedding Singer (I want Adam Sandler to write me a song!)

Into the Wild is strangely uplifting. Wonderfully refreshing yet terribly sad at the same time.

Seem to have a mental blockage when it comes to The Shawshank Redemption. Keep trying to watch it but never get to the end.

This might sound daft but, 'The Worlds Fastest Indian'
An actor in his old age yet in real life playing someone of age with aspirations. A story that says its never too late to follow your heart and to never give up on your dreams.
He got the world land speed record for that class of bike back then and no one has ever dared beat it.
True story.
