Tiff’s Favorites: Movies

Happy hump day!  So glad it’s Wednesday!  Since I work part time, Wednesday is almost like my Friday since I don’t have to come back into the office.  I really love Wednesdays.

If you’ve missed any of the previous installments of Tiff’s Favorites, you can check them all out HERE.

Now, to get to some of my favorite movies!  We all have our favorites right?!  Most of mine date back a bit, but there are a few newbies on the list.

My #1, all time favorite movie:

 
 
Shawshank Redemption.  You have 2 fabulous actors, a wonderfully endearing story, and a jail break.  I’m pretty sure everyone has seen this movie.  If you haven’t, well first shame on you!  And second you need to go out and get it right now and watch it.  It’s awesome.  I love this movie.  I love Morgan Freeman.
 
 
While SR may be my favorite “old school, new-ish school movie” (if that makes any sense whatsoever) this next one is my favorite old school movie of all time:
 
 
I mean duh right?!  You cannot tell me there is a soul on the planet that doesn’t love Holly Golightly, aka the one and only Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
 
I mean hello?!  Look at that face:
 
 
She is absolutely stunning. And when she sings Moon River?  Ugh, just perfection.  Audrey Hepburn will forever be my favorite actress of all time.  I just adore her. 
 
 
Now, to balance out some of the oldies, here are a few newer movies I really enjoy.  First, I really like:

 
21 Jump Street.  I mean #1: who doesn’t love Channing Tatum?  And Jonah Hill is so dang funny, and #2: “Do you want to die?!  No…  Then we have to finger each others throats.”  The best one liners I’ve seen in a movie in a long time.
 
 
Keeping with the comedy theme: 
 
 
I Love You Man.  So funny right?!  “Slappin’ Da Bass.”  And “Latres on the menge.”  Some more great one liners.  Love Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.  A great movie about a blooming bromance.  They make such a good duo in movies.
 
 
We’ll take it back old school again for a minute.  My Nana introduced me to this movie when I was young, and though I haven’t watched it in a while, it’s near and dear to my heart:
 
 
Yes, that’s right folks.  I love The Sound of Music.  I adore Julie Andrews, love the singing, the love story, the war-time setting.  It’s a classic and I can recite every single song word for word from this movie.  I love it and I don’t care who knows it!  Such a great classic.
 
 
There are sooo sooo many great movies out there, but I’ll end with a great new school movie that is (loosly) based on history:  

300.  Didn’t see that one coming did ya?  I love a good action flick, and this one is all about the action (with a little love story thrown in).  I know there was some controversy around this movie when it came out (the way the Persians are depicted) but knowing that’s is still loosly based on a true story (The Battle of Thermopylae) makes me like it even more.  And holy Gerard Butler!?  Am I right here ladies?  Good night!
 
And there you have my all time favorite movies.  It’s so hard to narrow it down to just a few because there are so many more movies I like.  But we’ll leave it at that for today.
 
Have a lovely Wednesday!

    You should definitely see I Love You Man Jennifer. It’s awesome. I really love Paul Rudd. Ever since his Clueless days. 🙂

    Have a great day!
    XOXO,

    Great movie choices! I love Shawshank Redemption… and 300?! Epic!

    I adore Audrey Hepburn – a natural beauty, a classy lady, and a strong woman… yes indeed, she is remarkable.

    I’ve never seen I Love You Man. I’ll have to check it out.

    Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely day!
    xoxo

  • “A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.” 💑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are so flawed. Both of us. We get on each other’s nerves. We pick at little things. We even disagree on big things sometimes. But even when I’m exhausted and frustrated, there’s no one I’d rather wake up next to than this guy. We spend 24 hours a day, every day together, and I still get sad when he has to travel for work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are truly a team and work each day to build an amazing life and future for our family. It’s a crazy journey, and one I wouldn’t change for anything. Marriage is work y’all, but so worth it. ❤️
  • A few weeks ago my girl worked out with me and it was amazing. 💪🏼 She wanted to lift and learn the machines and we had the best time. I love that she enjoys exercise. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On another note, we leave Palm Springs for Seattle on Saturday and I am so looking forward to spending time with friends and family this holiday season. 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you travel for the holidays? 🎄
  • {#ad} Finding ways to stay fit in the road has been one of my missions the last 6 months. Add in kids constantly needing your attention and my workouts sometimes get cut short. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my new favorite things to use is Jazzercise’s On Demand program! 😍 All the conveniences of fun Jazzercise classes wherever you want to be! Plus they have a variety of class durations you accommodate your busy schedule. 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read more about Jazzercise On Demand and get a special discount code at the link in my profile! @jazzerciseondemand #dancefitness #jazzerciseondemand #jazzercise
  • Not gonna lie, Joshua Tree National Park was pretty damn awesome. Dry AF, but those trees are 😍.
  • Typical morning with these three. 🥰 Mornings are my absolute favorite time with them. My second favorite is bedtime. #justkiddingsortof ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our mornings are much slower now that we homeschool. It’s not at all easy. It’s actually harder than I imagined it would be. But I love that we can go at our own pace, take breaks during the day for adventures, and use all sorts of awesome tools for learning. We can change things when we want and I can teach to my child’s likes and abilities. I always thought I would send them back to school when our travels are over, but now I’m not so sure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever considered homeschooling, or do you? What are your thoughts on the subject?
  • Throwback to our Hawaii trip. We talked about spending a month there this winter. I wouldn’t be mad at that idea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you a lover of the heat or colder weather? I usually prefer the colder temps, because they mean snow. But we have spent a lot of time in the mountains so I’m soaking up all the time we’re getting in Palm Springs.
  • My body has been greatly confused by the 90 degrees in November weather. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This guy y’all. 🥰 He is spicy and has a newfound obsession with Star Wars. He is snuggly for an hour in the morning, and independent the rest of the day. I never knew a child could be as busy as he is. He’s definitely testing boundaries these days, but when he does something wrong he says “I’m sorry” in the sweetest voice and damn it is hard to stay mad at that. ❤️
  • I almost wasn’t going to post this photo for 2 reasons. 1️⃣ Because it’s not a great picture. 2️⃣ Because you can see my cellulite when you zoom in. But I decided to share for that exact reason. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We all struggle with insecurities. Even at the best shape of my life I still had things that bothered me about my body. But y’all, these insecurities do not define us! They don’t make us any less of a wife, mom, sister, daughter, or friend. People love you because you are kind and loving and funny and a good person! No one gives a shit about the cellulite on your thighs except you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We need to stop defining our worth based on how we look. We are all different and those differences make this world such an amazing and unique place.
