These may not be the greatest titles of all time, but they're the right movies for right now
It’s time to try to stretch that summer out as long as you can. Sit on your couch, open up a brew, and toss these in for a gander.
1. The 39 Steps (1935) – Alfred Hitchcock was born in London on August 13, 1899. So I suggest that you celebrate his birthday by watching one of his timeless classics. Just about anyone will do. Why not this one?
2. Back to School (1986) – Two months in a row I’m suggesting a Dangerfield movie. But I really loved him in this gem. And it’s time to start getting ready to hit the books again so might as well watch a classic ‘80s comedy to get you in the mood.
3. Living Legends: Broke Ass Summer Jam – Summer’s not quite over yet. Hip-hop heads and live music lovers alike can enjoy the live performances on the stage in this dvd. The highlight of this one is definitely when Living Legends perform Rabbit Hole and Never Fallin’. Not to mention, they happen to be kicking off their tour right this very moment so you can use this one as motivation to go online and pick up those tickets. You might just see me there.
4. Rushmore (1998) – All right, all right, enough with the back to school stuff. This is probably Wes Anderson’s most admired film and for good reason. I can honestly say it gets better with time.
5. Wild Strawberries (1957) – This is one of Ingmar Bergman’s greatest pieces. And what better way to end the Summer than with a road trip through Sweden.
Enjoy!
