Friday Five – Can’t Skip Movies
Say you’re scrolling though your channel guide some lazy afternoon with nothing on TV. You head on over to the movie channels and start perusing. Suddenly, a title appears in your guide. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve seen it, whether it just started or is almost finished, you’ll stop what you’re doing and watch these movies any time you come across them.

Friday Five – Classic Disney Movies
The newest Disney princess movie was released in theaters this week, so let’s take a look at some Disney movies. If you assumed this list would be all animated films, you would be mistaken.

Friday Five – Guilty Pleasure Movies
I generally like to think of myself as having a very refined palate when it comes to movies, being able to spot the crappy ones from a mile away. But sometimes, I just can’t help but to love a polished turd of a film.
There are tons of movies out there. No matter how hard you try, there’s no way to watch them all and compromises need to be made. But sometimes there are films that pretty much everyone in your life agrees are good and you should see, but you just never get around to them and are embarrassed that you never get to join in all the conversations about them. Those conversations usually end with “How have you never seen Movie X?”
There aren’t so many singular movies I haven’t seen that are embarrassing, except maybe cinematic classics like Citizen Kane or It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s more groups or genres of movies that I’ve missed out on. The below list is in no real particular order.

Friday Five – Romantic Comedies and Chick Flicks
So yesterday was Valentine’s Day, so I guess today would be a good day to put my vast knowledge of Chick Flicks to good use. I’m comfortable enough in my masculinity to say that yes, I love me a good Romantic Comedy. So what? Wanna fight about it?
Alot of these ended up on my Desert Island Movie list or I’ve mentioned them before, but screw it, I’m gonna use them again. Also, I’m not using my first choice of The Terminator, though it’s totally a time crossed romance when you think about it.

Friday Five – Movie Franchises
There are plenty of good media franchises, but it’s hard to find one where more than 75% of them are all good. So there were some choices I didn’t make because too many films in the series I didn’t like or just don’t hold up to the original. I tried to pick series where almost all of them were good.

Friday Five – Desert Island Movies
This week I discuss my list of Desert Island Movies. No, not like Lord of the Flies or The Blue Lagoon, or Gilligan’s Island and the Harlem Globetrotters (which was a real thing). No, not movies set on Desert Islands, the movies we would want with us if we were stranded on a Desert Island with only a solar powered DVD player.
