Hey guys, Candace Owens. Today we are discussing movies, and I'm going to give you my top picks. Little background, though. I'm not the biggest movie buff, actually. I just saw Star Wars for the 1st time like 3 years ago. It very frustrating when everyone's always making a reference to a movie and I'm like, ah, I actually was kind of more of a book dwee, but that's okay. I do have favorite picks, and I'm going to give you those across every genre.
Okay, first up, in the category of humor, I will not be friends with you. If you do not like wedding crashers, It is, to me, a perfect comedy. There's not a single person that I would take out of that from the grandma. It was absolutely hilarious. Every person belongs in that film. Vince Vaughn, his ad living is perfection. Lock it up. Lock it up. Lock it up. And I never get tired of it. Never. I could watch that movie every day, and I'm laughing at something that I didn't pick up on because Vince Vaughn is so quick.
It is just, like, in order to sit with me, you have to, like, wedding crashers. The rules, the rules are incredible. Rule number six. Do not sit in the corner and sulk. It draws attention to you in a negative way. Draw attention to yourself, but on your own terms. Rule number 76, no excuses. Play with the champion. Whoever created this movie, whoever wrote this movie, I want to be best friends with you. That's all I'm saying.
Next up in the category of romantic comedy, when Harry Met Sally is an all time favorite, I always watch that movie. I call it a New Year's movie, but my husband pointed out that it's not really a New Year's movie, but I always watch it around Christmas and New Year's, because obviously, the ending, that's when it happens. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Aww. That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you. Billy Crystal is so funny in that movie, and it's just great. I just, I love it. Okay, in the category of, like, a family film, never gets old. It's hard to pick just one Denzel Washington movie, but remember the Titans. Do you guys remember The Titans? Remember the Titans? Yeah, you should go watch that again.
It felt like it told the story of America, like moving into a different period of race, and it's based on a true story, which is also amazing. You should go watch that again. I just made my husband watch it because that one didn't really make its way across the pond. Everywhere we go. People want to know who we are. Actually, fun fact, I actually was a Titan, middle school, Turner River Titans, so we used to do that.
Speed a cheerleader. Let's do that, so, yeah, remember the Titans. Classic. Okay, Disney movie, this is a super recent one, but if you have not seen it, you have to see this movie. It's so good. Cruella, Emma Stone. Amazing. Also, someone else that I want to be friends with, probably not going to ever meet, but I love Emma Stone. Cruella is amazing. I'm not kidding. I, like, my husband did not want to watch it. I forced him to watch it with me and he even he admitted it was really good.
You kind of got to get past the 1st 15 minutes because 1st you're like, is this like gonna be weird and cheesy, but then it's just phenomenal. So that is probably one of my favorite movies out right now. Gotta give it to Emma Stone, always. What was your name? Cruella. Okay, this next one, I don't really know what category it balls in, but it might actually be my favorite movie ever. Pretty Woman. I just think Julia Roberts and Pretty Woman, Richard Gere is a gear, gear, gear.
I don't know, doesn't matter, 'cause that's not his name in the movie. Phenomenal. I mean, just from start to finish. I love that movie so much. And I think, for me, just that scene, when she goes in, and she goes back into the store, and she's like, Big mistake. Huge. I love that, because I feel like it's the story of my life. People always underestimate me. And I feel like I've gotten to where I am by just, like, you know, hard work, not being a prostitute, I should, I should probably specify, but I love that moment, because it's just, like, being in a room where people underestimate you.
Um, and kind of going back and showing in their faces like, ha ha. Big mistake. Huge. Favorite musical, hands down is grease, born to hand job, baby. Yeah. What's that guy? Danny Zuko, what's his name in real life? John Travolta, duh. Amazing. He's so good in that movie. Love him in that movie, not in real life, but Greece, I just, I grew up watching a lot of musicals. I actually should also put the sound of music under there, but the reason why I decided grease over the sound of music is because when I was young, I didn't know the sound of music was about the Holocaust, and it kind of made it much more depressing when I got older, 'cause I thought it was just about, like, a happy nanny seeing with kids when I was watching it every day when I was young.
And I was like, oh, they're alive. And now I know, actually, like, it was very sad movie. But it ends well. Ivon Trapp family escapes, but Greece, hand jiving, better. No way, here we go. Last, but certainly, not least, this is a classic, and I also saw it for the first time, about five years ago, it doesn't matter. It was amazing, and that, to me, is the marker of a great film, that it just survives decades. The Godfather.
I'm gonna go with part one, incredible, just an incredible film, from start to finish, and I did watch the second one, which is also good. Wasn't that in touch the third one. But I just love the whole concept of family. Not necessarily that you should just kill your brother. I'm not saying that freedom deserve to die, but you never go against the family. Um, usually, it, me watching a movie, if I didn't grow up on it, it ends up with, like, someone saying, Oh, my God, I can't believe you've seen.
Can't believe you haven't seen it. I can't believe you haven't seen it. And then, eventually, I just throw him a towel. Okay, I'll watch it. And sometimes I don't think it's good. Like, I'm sorry to say this. A lot of people are gonna hate me, but Star Wars, I'm sorry. I know it's a culture, and then people go, Oh, but it was different then, 'cause it was the '70s when the first movie was made, but so was the Godfather.
Wasn't the godfather of the '70s. And the Godfather I saw, and I thought it was absolutely amazing. Star Wars is a bit more like a fan cult. It's like trying to break into Spice World. I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Grew up with the Spice Girls. You love the Spice Girls. The music was amazing, but you can't just suddenly tell someone the Spice Girls was amazing. And objectively, they probably weren't. How dare you?
And people are going to hate me and stop following me because I said that because as I said, Star Wars fandom is real. And so for all the fans that I'm losing for, I said about Star Wars, I'm sorry. I don't mean it. Dreamer, you still have. Um, give me some classics. Never saw it. I've seen nothing. Never saw it. Legally blonde, but that's not like an old classic. That's, like, a No, but old ones are, like, the 80s and, like, 70s movies that, like, have survived.
Free Willie was good. I liked Free Willy. Great ending. Killer whales jumps over him. It's beautiful. Michael Jackson comes in and sings. Oh, you know what I should have added to the list? For action, 300. Solid film. Absolutely love Gerard Butler in 300. This is Sparta. La... That's how I feel in politics sometimes. Like, this is America. Wow. It's interesting 'cause it's, like, kind of a graphic action, like, it's a big cartoony, but it's really the script and the characters, you know?
It's something that you don't really see that much masculine and testosterone on display anymore in general. Um, but, you know, it's an incredible story. The Peloponnesian Wars, incredible story. You know, the mayor, the coho cons of a marathon kind of came from this, and there's something about them fighting, and I don't know what it is. It's an exhilarating ride to watch 300. Absolutely exhilarating. All right, guys, that's it.
That's a wrap on my favorite movies. Feel free to comment how much you hate me because of what I've said about Star Wars, and also tell me what your favorite movies are.
