Movie
2001 Space Odyssey
An epic cinematic masterpiece that addresses the age-old questions of who are we, where did we come from and where are we going. The journey explores our past, present, and future and takes us to our ultimate destination in some far-flung Utopia, deep in outer space. To infinity and beyond.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.

Barbie (2023)
Better than it really should have been. Funny, thought-provoking, and entertaining. Escapism with an important message. Gerwig poked fun and holes at the patriarchy and toxic masculinity while empowering women and men. The soundtrack, dance sequences, jokes, and performances, particularly from Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrera, stole it.

Something's Gotta Give (2003)
This movie contained all sorts of bizarre-o, tantalizing relationships. From the 29-year-old girl dating the 63-year-old male character. To the inability of that male character to commit to a monogamous relationship. To the 63-year-old male character falling in love with the 29-year-old's, infamous mother.

A Walk To Remember
The popular, rebellious teenager Landon Carter is threatened with expulsion from school after he and his friends leave evidence of underage drinking on the school grounds and seriously injure another student as the result of a prank. The head of the school gives Landon the choice of being expelled or atoning for his actions by tutoring fellow students and participating in the school play. During these functions, Landon notices Jamie Sullivan, a girl he has known since kindergarten and who has attended many of the same classes as him, and who is also the local minister's daughter. Since he's one of the in-crowd, he has seldom paid any attention to Jamie, who wears modest dresses all the time and owns only one sweater. She makes no attempt to wear make-up or otherwise improve her looks or attract attention to herself.
