Go-to films

By Liz Legatt

We all have those go-to films.  The ones that we have seen dozens of times and still crave to watch regularly. Whatever your reason is for gravitating towards films, I often find that these are a good representation of one’s personality. My go-to films tend to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, or there’s usually something about the flawed main characters that I find myself extremely able to relate to. Here are my top three recommended go-to films, that we have available right here in the Media & Music Collections:

Featured Film: Pride & Prejudice Call #: PR4034 .P75 2006
Mr. Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hartfordshire with his overbearing wife and 5 daughters. The family’s future happiness and security is dependent on the daughters making good marriages. Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr. Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country. Mr. Bingley brings with him his sister and the dashing, rich, but proud Mr. Darcy. Love soon buds for one of the Bennet sisters, while another sister may have jumped to a hasty prejudgment.

Featured Film: Ratatouille  Call #:  PN1997 .R385 2010

A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen of one of Paris’ most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy’s amazing talents.

Featured Film: (500) Days of Summer Call #: PN1997 .F5774 2009
For Tom, it was love at first sight when Summer Finn walked into the greeting card company where he worked. Summer is the new administrative assistant.
