  Hairspray 1988

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Mar 2020

  Hairspray is a fun, music-themed comedy-drama. The film's soundtrack features energetic, head-bobbing tunes throughout, and I personally think they all hit.

Admittedly, I feel that it pales in comparison to the 2007 musical adaptation. Nonetheless, it's a euphoric, groovin' film.

  Waking Ned Devine 1998

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Mar 2020

The cast is just as sweet as they can be. The humor is totally inoffensive, but it's nothing that makes you roll your eyes; the majority of it still hits. It takes the concept of someone dying, and makes that person's life something to celebrate rather than to grieve. This is just a sweet, clean humored movie that you can watch with anyone.

  The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 1977

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 13 Feb 2020

  If you watched this growing up, your childhood was awesome! Perhaps I see this one through nostalgia goggles, but I think this timelessly animated film features clever humor, lovable characters, and a cute story that audiences of all ages can enjoy. A Disney classic, no doubt.
