My dose of happy films

I'm about to go to dreamland and I'm sleepy, so sorry if it's more poorly written than my usual posts. Lately I've been thinking about my own set of happy movies in recent years and how they gave me good vibes that I could watch them over and over without fail. In college, I had a thing for classic films and those intellectual movies that would make me think twice about my life after watching. I kinda feel smart if I get to appreciate an intelligently-crafted movie. How's that for a morale booster? Ha!! Feeling ko lang naman yun! Hahaha! I would go to Quiapo (woops sorry for supporting piracy) with my friends after class to hoard oldies but goodies kind of movies. But fast forward today, the movies I see are only limited to mainstream films I see with my friends whenever I get the time and from our "movie library" in the office. A co-worker shares his collection to all of us for free and I get the opportunity to catch up on films I missed, and what's better is I could also ask him which movies I want that isn't in his library. Mabuhay ka, sir! Unfortunately, I have copied (and continuously copy) movies from his collection to my humble HD but most of those movies remain unwatched simply because I don't have time for it. Sometimes when I get a break I'd rather sleep or get a social life! I also do not have the patience to learn to download using Torrent even if a friend already taught me repeatedly for years. I just couldn't focus to listen. I'd rather go buy in Quiapo.

I don't have a favorite genre when it comes to movies because I try to appreciate each one, except for horror films. It either scares me like shit that I couldn't sleep after or at times, some movies just disgust me how poorly made they are. Hehehe!! Feeling critic! My girly side of course, also likes cheesy films, the kind of stuff that make me reflect where the love of my life is. At the same time, I like action movies, war movies, suspense, etc. BUT!! Most of all, the biggest chunk of my bias goes to Disney movies! I will forever be a Disney fan, especially of its classic films!! Haaay! :)

So here are some of my happy movies shown in recent times. Although I still appreciate "intelligent" movies from time to time, my preference in movies has become lighter, with simple plots and heartwarming endings, but not necessarily "dumb" movies. There are still movies that I see that I go "WTF was that?" when credits roll, noh. I think I've outgrown complicated plots in movies because my real life is already stressful I just want to chill, "feel good" ika nga. Oo factor sakin yun. Anyway, I would likely  update this from time to time. Right now, the half of my brain is already in dreamland and my forgetful self cannot remember in one sitting all the movies I liked recently. I will no longer make a review. I also hope you don't judge me by my preferences. There are older films that are also "feel good" that I really liked such as Audrey Hepburn films and 90s movies but that would probably take another blog post. Not to mention Korean films and other non-American films that I really enjoyed. Dami pala! :)
