I was on spring break last week and missed out on FMM, so when I saw the subject of today’s post, I couldn’t wait to write about it.

FMM: If life were a movie, which one would you want to live in?
At first I tried to think of my favorite movies…
My all-time favorite movie is The Godfather II. For several reasons. First, there’s the most obvious, that I’m 100% Italian, 50% of which is Sicilian. So much of this movie is steeped in culture and heritage – loyalty, family, pride. All of the things I grew up with. But it also has way too much violence for me to want to spend my life in this movie, even if I could be Michael.
Then I tried to think of my favorite movies from high school..something directed by John Hughes:
Breakfast Club is the quintessential movie that depicts the fact that despite the fact that we can each be a member of a certain clique, we have more in common that we might first think. And Pretty in Pink is the girl-power movie for any girl who had a bit of a quirky side. I LOVE Duckie (Jon Cryer) and Iona (Annie Potts) in this movie. And I wanted Andie’s (Molly Ringwald) car – a Karmann Ghia. I even had a vanity plate all figured out: GhiaMia. 🙂
I could SO see myself driving this in high school.
But neither of those movies were ones that I really wanted to LIVE in. So I gave it a bit more thought and then it HIT me…
Now it’s your turn to share. Don’t forget to go back to Kenlie’s blog to link up in the comments!

I have never seen Say Anything, but I totally want to now!
You HAVE to! I think you’ll really enjoy it.
80’s movies! Yay!
Visiting from FMM! The Breakfast Club crossed my mind too. Then I settled on something a little different. 😉
I’ve never seen Say Anything. I’ll have to check that out.
I highly recommend it.
The Breakfast Club is one of my all-time favorite movies!
Mine too! I actually use it in my American Film as literature unit that I teach my high school classes.
I love this idea – I’m totally brainstorming but I can’t think of what movie I’d want to live in! I blame liking my own life – but I want to do this!
Love the Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink – all of them. I could (and have) watch these over and over!
i totally just want to watch movies with you now. Love everything you have listed.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
I LOVE Say Anything! Somehow I don’t own it… should probably fix that!
Oh! Your little character on your header was part of my inspiration for making mine, finally. I’ve loved her everytime I’ve seen her. 🙂
How sweet are you for saying that?! I’m so glad that I inspired you in some small way. 🙂
🙂 YW!
John Hughes was so biliant at capturing the teenage years, all the emotion and heartbreak. I currently feel like I live in “Parenthood”, with all the crazyness of children and family. “Sex in the City” would be a really fun movie to live, with Mr. Big.
OMG, my spelling, (craziness), sorry.
