Movie Magic.

How awesome is Julie? She was tagged, and instead of doing the 6 Random Things, she rebelled and had the idea of sharing her favorite songs in movie scenes. This is a subject close to my heart, as I often wish life itself had a soundtrack. Music in movies is so powerful. Julie's choices were excellent, so check those out, too, and then do it yourself!

This scene is one of my most recent favorites. I remember the night Adam and I went to see it in the theater, our first date after coming home with young Chuck. You might say I thought it was a lovely, romantic movie....(ahem) because nine months later, Mallory was born. Thank you, Steve Carrell.
From Dan in Real Life...



Okay, more mush for ya. I love this, the ending of Never Been Kissed. The words to Don't Worry, Baby kick in right as the ever sexy Michael Vartan passionately grabs Drew for her first kiss. Sighhh...When this movie came out, I worked at a local theater, and knew the times to run in and catch this scene whenever we weren't busy.



A classic...My hubby and I constantly argue over the ending of this, one of my favorite movies. He is a die-hard Duckie fan, but I much prefer the sparks between Andie and Blane.
From Pretty in Pink...



Moving away from the Romance, I love a good heist movie. And I love me some Nina...
From The Thomas Crowne Affair...



When Adam and I started dating, he made me watch all the Wes Anderson movies. I love them all, especially Rushmore, but the Kink's song, Strangers, in his latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, had me on the edge of my seat, in tears. If you have seen it, you know the scene that it followed, so you know why. (Side note: I have a huge crush on Adrian Brody, but none of my friends see why!).



This one's for the hubby. Adam loves this movie so much. He can quote it line by line, and often does when I am making us run late for something. Remember the line, "By the time we get there, the kid won't even be dead anymore!" Yeah, I hear that alot. Here's his musical scene pick.
From Stand By Me...



And I leave you with one of my most feel-goody endings to any of my favorite movies. I still long for the days when we wore Doc Martens with plaid skirts and wanted nothing more than to work here...
From Empire Records...



I tag everyone!!

You guys are making me watch awesome movie clips and reminisce with good tunes when I should be working! Which, is probably a good thing.

I LOVE Let My Love Open the Door. LOVE.

And, I saw Darjeeling Limited on the plane coming home from Ethiopia. Now that's a memory to keep.
