If, like me you also live in the UK then I am sure that you will agree with me when I say that Summer practically never happened and that Autumn and on some days Winter has come early. Now again, if your from the UK you'll also know that Autumn/Winter is nothing like what you see on Pinterest, yes the leaves fall from the trees and the air becomes incredibly cold but that also comes with rain and the only snow being a thin sludgy layer, practically like walking in a giant slushie. The best part of these cold months are the duvet days when you spend your time sat in front of the television watching films and back to back episodes of your favourite shows.
Here is a list of some of my favourite movies (Yes most of them are chick flicks)...
1- Love Actually
This is one of my favourites and I could happily watch it on repeat for hours (and not without getting emotional). Following the lives of a number of people, all of whom are linked somehow; each person's story displaying a different definition of love. A lonely prime-minister falling in love with his secretary, a recently divorced writer who finds love on a break away, a man who is in love with his best friends wife and many others.
2- The Twilight Saga
Like Marmite, you either love it or hate it and I can honestly say I love the Twilight movies. When a human and a vampire falls in love, they fight against the vampire leaders to save their relationship..I personally favour the first (Twilight) and the last two (Breaking Dawn P1 & P2) however the last two are simply from a media students POV.
3- Saving Mr Banks
How could I not include a Disney movie in my list! Saving Mr Banks follows the story of how Mary Poppins went from book to screen whilst finding out about the childhood of author P.L. Travers. This movie is one of my favourites because...Tom Hanks (no more needs saying) and I love the music that accompanies such a magical story and I love Mary Poppins.
4- The One Direction Concert DVD(s).
I guess you could say they are technically not movies, well except 'This Is Us' but there is something about seeing your favourite band performing live, almost as if you are re-living the experience of being in a crowded audience all going crazy to your favourite songs.
TV Shows
1- Teen Wolf
An American TV show that started off with teenage boy 'Scott' being bitten by a werewolf. Things start to happen in town including more teenagers turning into different supernatural characters, together they fight against the supernatural demons that turn up throughout the series.
2- Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars can be found on Netflix, the show follows a group of friends who continue to be anonymously attacked, mentally and physically by one of their other friends murderers whilst trying to solve who 'A' is.
3- F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
I'm sure I have no reason to even attempt to explain the TV show FRIENDS as, lets be honest...who hasn't seen at least 1 episode!?! But, just incase...the hilarious sitcom is a show following a group of friends living in Manhattan.
4- Say Yes To The Dress/I Found The Gown
Who doesn't love a show about women on the hunt for their dream wedding dress? Both of these shows are shown on TLC...to be honest any wedding trash is right up my street...I think I am secretly destined to be a wedding planner.
5- Catfish: The TV Show
A show where Nev and Max (the hosts) help find out who the person in question is talking to, whether it is who they think they were talking to or whether it was a complete lie.
6- Cake Boss
Another piece of reality trash, documenting some of the stories and cake orders that come through the bakery. (That was a terrible description but I recommend that you watch an episode and the end results of the cakes are absolutely incredible).
So those are some of my favourites, I would love to know what yours are as I am always looking for something new to indulge in!
