Old Movies

So, I'm continuing my "series" about clean entertainment based on the scripture Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." This is always a tough thing to do because of the world's view on what's appropriate. I was going to do another chick flick list and action movies, but I don't have enough yet, so I'm doing older movies that I enjoy instead.

Arsenic and old Lace (I love this one!),

Maltese Falcon,

Shane,

Friendly Persuasion,

Boys Town,

Men of Boys Town,

The Quiet Man,

The Music Man,

Pride and Prejudice,

Emma,

Sense and Sensibility,

Rear Window,

E.T.,

Indiana Jones (the second one is bad, the third one is great, the first is in-between),

Star Wars,

The Princess Bride,

Sabrina (I prefer the 1954 version),

Breakfast at Tiffany's,

The Sound of Music,

Gone with the Wind,

The Bellboy

If you can think of more let me know!! I love comments, and I would love it if someone told me about an good, old movie that I haven't seen yet!! Please comment or email me your favorite old movies, and we'll see which movie is the most popular!

Clean Chick Flicks

Sorry I have not posted in so long!! I have been really busy with summer stuff and almost forgot about blogging at all.

Lately I have really been wanting to watch a funny chic flick that I have not seen before. However, it seems that the movie industry has it in their head that in order for a movie to be good, there has to be explicit scenes in it. I have a different idea on this matter. As most Christian teens should do, I try to base my entertainment around Philippians 4:8: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

If you have been of the same opinion, here are some movies that I've seen, and enjoyed. If you can think of any that I have not listed, and classify as clean chic flicks, PLEASE COMMENT!! I would love to hear your opinion on this matter, as well as any suggestions. So, here is my list:

Clean:

Penelope,

Love Comes Softly (series),

Confessions of a Shopaholic,

Enchanted,

Ella Enchanted,

Ice princess,

Ice Castles,

Leap Year,

While You Were Sleeping,

The perfect Man,

Pride and prejudice (2005 version),

Mansfield Park (2007 version),

Sense and Sensibility (1995 version),

A Walk to Remember,

A Cinderella Story,

The Princess Bride,

Just My Luck,

Little Women,

When in Rome,

Princess Diaries 1&2,

What a Girl Wants,

Freaky Friday,

The Prince and Me 2 (the first one is a little too trashy for me, and the second makes sense without watching the first one),

Tuck Everlasting (this one is a bit on the corny side, but still fun),

The Lake House,

Anne of Green Gables,

Mostly clean (fast-forwarding when a scene comes)

Bride Wars,

No Reservations,

Julie & Julia,

Shall We Dance,

Becoming Jane (this one is on the line between clean and mostly clean because there is only a brief glance)

I'm sure there are more that I've seen and enjoy, I just can't think of them right now.

Hopefully some time next week I will blog about clean action movies that I enjoyed. Eventually I will move on to chic lit. Please email or comment any suggestions or opinions on this subject.
