Free time is something that seems foreign to students, but it's summer time and, as they say, the living is easy. Since we all get to live a few months without academic responsibilities hanging over our heads, it gives us a great opportunity to do a lot of things we don't have time for during the school year.
One of those things, for me, is watching movies. I love stories. I love reading them and watching them, which I don't always have time for during the school year. Though I get my fair share of Netflix, there's a difference in mindless Netflix binging and really choosing to watch a movie. If you have free time this summer, watching a movie is a great way to pass time. If you want to watch some movies but you don't know where to start, you've come to the right place.
Here are some random, but great, movies to watch this summer:
The Butler
Shawshank Redemption
An Affair to Remember
Catch Me If You Can
Pride & Prejudice
Dirty Dancing
The Lord of the Rings has three movies, as well as three Hobbit movies!
There are now seven Star Wars movies! If you haven't seen them, it's time.
Watch them as follows (reference is my brother, a big SW fan): Episode IV, V, I, II, II, VI, VII
Casablanca
Bridge of Spies
You've Got Mail
The Martian
The Theory of Everything
But if you're looking for a series, start here:
Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, & The Dark Knight Rises (I named my cat Bruce Wayne because of this series).
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a total of thirteen movies now. Don't know where to start? Click here.
Marvel Cinematic Universe! There are over 10 movies at this point. To figure out where to start, click here (and scroll a bit).
There are some ways to fill your empty summer nights! These are some of my favorite movies (apparently I'm a big Tom Hanks fan) and I hope that they bring you as much joy as they have me. If you're more of a reader, check out this list that I wrote last semester.
I wish you a happy journey through all of these stories and many relaxing summer days to accompany them. I promise, it's okay to rest.
Stay great,
