I think I have a gift for searching (and finding) the saddest songs on the planet. The next time you're in a real deep, dark mood - send me a text and I'll let you know exactly what you should listen to on repeat.
(Even out of context, this song is so sad - but IN CONTEXT? In that scene in Toy Story 2? Get out of here, that's like the-first-fifteen-minutes-of-Up kind of sad.)
“A Michael Jackson impersonator (Diego Luna) visits a commune where residents (Samantha Morton, Denis Lavant) imitate Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, the Three Stooges and others.”
I won't be able to express how much I love this movie. It's such an original idea and I love, love, love the ending. If you don't intend on seeking it out, just watch the ending (below). I know I've quoted the last lines of it before on this blog, but it's even better when you can hear it said. I promise you that you'll love it. And if you don't, you're dead inside.

I've always said that this is my favourite Francis Ford Coppola movie, but it might just be my favourite Robin Williams one as well. (Though, man... that's a really hard call to make. Have you seen What Dreams May Come? I'll never get over that movie.)
In any case, I love this movie so much. And maybe you're thinking that's only because I saw it so many times as a child and so it'll forever have a sweet spot in my heart... and honestly? Maybe that's the truth of it. If you haven't seen it, you should probably watch it for the first time with your kid or niece or nephew or someone of that age. I really think it holds up well.
I always wanted this scene to be longer.
Ummmm, this is great, right? Yes, yes it is! Especially because of the fact that I'm constantly telling people what to watch and episodes of things that are great - and I always want to be sitting beside them to see if they're actually enjoying it. Saying, that out loud makes it seem abnormal, I realize. I just love watching shows/movies I love with friends! Or forcing them to sit in one spot and soak up whatever hilarity I'm placing upon their eyes. Either way.
Such a great idea!
Did you see this movie? It came out in 2006. And honestly? It's a really good time. I'm purposely not posting the trailer for it here since it has one of those trailers that are way too long and give the entire movie away (why does this happen, it makes ZERO sense). And I don't really want to do a point-by-point review of it since it's not technically a "really good movie." It just made me feel so good in a way that makes me watch it once a year or so. Kind of the way that Julie & Julia makes me feel good. Am I confessing too much to you here? Other than my brother Robbie, absolutely no man on earth will think this movie is a good time (is this sexist or just accurate... no idea). But if you're a woman and we're friends? I feel like you should give this a chance at some point. Just a heads up.
God, I love this.
It might be abnormal to choose this as one of the top three songs from The Lion King, I realize. But do you remember the scene when it first played? At night? 'Cause it was memorable as hell. Love this so much.
