Movies with great songs

If you haven’t seen them yet, you really, really, really need to go out and watch these two movies.

Once is a story of music in Dublin, of love, and of chasing your dreams. And it’s completely, madly, absolutely brilliant.

Juno is, of course, the story of a young girl who gets pregnant, decides to keep her baby, and has some insightful, clever, endearing moments along the way.

They’re the two best movies I’ve seen in months, and they both have fantastic music in them. To further entice you:

I need to learn how to play that.

I Am A White Person

Crap, and all this time …

From Stuff White People Like:

#81 Graduate School: Tho’ thank goodness I’m attaining a practical degree! #75 Threatening to Move to Canada: Does it count as “threatening” if I actually did move? #72 Study Abroad: Does Canada count as “abroad”? What about that three months I spent in France? *le sigh* #68 Michel Gondry: Guilty as charged. #65 Co-Ed Sports: Well yeah, that’s how I met my fiance!

Sunny Thursday Morning

Also guilty of liking: Recycling, Bicycles, Natural Medicine, Juno (the movie), Irony, Vintage, Public Radio, Plays, Breakfast Places, The Daily Show, David Sedaris, Wine, Microbreweries, Tea, Wes Anderson Movies, Barack Obama, Organic Food, Farmer’s Markets, and Coffee.

That’s 24 of 84 things currently listed on the site. I guess I’m beyond hope at this point. Oh well, guess I’ll go drink some coffee and listen to This American Life, since it’s the weekend and I don’t have to go back to my graduate school classes in Canada until Monday.
