ENSEMBLE MAGAZINE: Piecing together the daily puzzle called life

There’s nothing we love more than a quiet night in. A couch, a TV, friends and a perfect movie. What to watch, though? Here are some classics that you probably have seen already, but are always a hit! Do you have any favorites for movie nights? Let us know!

1. Pride and Prejudice (1995). We’re talking about the 300-minute mini-series. A must-see!

2. The Painted Veil (2006). A British doctor tries to cure a cholera-epidemic in a small Chinese village after he left a loveless marriage to a cheating wife.

3. True Romance (1993). One of our favorite love stories, made in Tarantino’s glory years. In a nutshell: Boy meets prostitute, falls in love, steals coke from her pimp and both of them get in trouble. Aw.

4. Little Women (1994). The story of the March sisters who grow up after the Civil War in America.

5. Notting Hill (1999). Shouldn’t need an explanation, but in case you just got teleported in from before 1999: The life of a bookshop owner gets turned upside down when he falls in love with the world’s most famous actress.

6. The Notebook (2004). We can’t imagine that you haven’t seen this one, but in case you haven’t: See it. It’s brilliant. Enough said.

7. You’ve Got Mail (1998). A man and a women who hate each other in real life fall in love through anonymous e-mails.

8. Gone With the Wind (1939). Another one of our favorites, because of the clothing, make-up and Clark Gable’s romantic quotes: “You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.” Oh, Clark.

9. Up (2009). The story of 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen who gets transported to the place that he and his deceased wife always dreamed of. The opening sequence always makes us cry.

10. The Bodyguard (1992). When Whitney was still intouchable. The story of a former secret agent who starts working as a bodyguard for a pop singer.
