I have been working on this entry for a long time! When the Happiness Challenge suggested that I watch my favorite movie I knew the main challenge for me was how I was going to narrow it down. How was I suppose to pick my favorite movie? Like I do most things when I can't make up my mind- random number generator. But I had to write down what my most favorite movies are and I could probably spend a whole year hashing out this list. But I did my best and I have to say it didn't turn out too bad. Some of the movies could cross categories but in an effort to put in my most favorites I did it the way I did. There are movie series such as Harry Potter,that belong together and in my mind and on this list I couldn't separate them- so the got there own category. This is not a definitive list as there are always new movies coming out and I might have forget a movie that I really enjoyed (it happens). Any way, it was fun trying to narrow it all down- enjoy!
Trying to decide the favorite movie to watch is the tough part! So I am going to write it out. Here is my line up.

| Opps- you can't see it.... |
I love this movie. It came at a time in my life when I was probably a little depressed and bored. It put my own life into perspective and it just gives me the feels. Don't we all want someone to pursue us the way Jamal did for Latika? Plus I just love the music. I usually put it on while I am running. I don't usually watch the Academy Awards but the year this one won 8 Oscars I was genuinely intrigued. I don't actually own this movie but I have the soundtrack. Side note- I also think my Dev Patel looks like my brother. Which also reminds me- I loved the movie Lion starring Dev Patel as well. I cried buckets! My husband would probably also like me to mention that the first time I watched this movie without him first even though he got it from the library so we could watch it together- oops! I gladly watched it twice!.
Also I did Day # 31 of the Happiness Challenge- treat yourself to something sweet. I picked up some Reese's Pieces (probably one of the best movie candies there is) and a Kombucha. Since this is a movie that takes place in India I also had some leftover Dalma. It was a great day
What is your favorite movie? What is your favorite sweet treat?
