Guilty Little Secrets
I'm sitting here today, after cleaning my house like the good little wifeypoo that I pretend to be, listening to the sound track of Grease, one of my favorite movies from my "formative" years. I decided to list a few other movies that impacted those innocent years.
1. Grease - Great, sappy music. Sweet summer love with a bit of innocent turmoil. Sexy "bad boys". 50's at their very best. I've often thought that I should have been around then, love the poodle skirts and saddle shoes, the jitterbug, twist, locomotion and the mashed potato. The 50's always looked like so much fun to me.
2. The Breakfast Club - Teen angst with a happy ending...who knew that detention could be so damned much fun....wasn't like that at my school.
3. St. Elmo's Fire - The Breakfast Club all grown up. More complex issues. Friendships at their best and worst.
4. Blue Lagoon - Paradise....simple....beautiufl....romantic. Nearly naked hunk. Adult situations with childlike innocence. Doesn't get any better then this. Also this was the first movie that I ever saw in a theater....I led a very sheltered life.
5. Sooner or Later - A gorgeous, if a tad femenine, Rex Smith. A boyfriend that sings to you. WOW!
6. Valley Girl - Opposites attract...corney..."totally" entertaining!
7. Boy in a Plastic Bubble - Come on, what could be better then an young John Travolta, innocent, beautiful, lots of hair....Yummy!
8. Xanadu - More Song and Dance with a side of magic and a pinch of romance....
Okay you have just a peak into my "Guilty Little Secret" I love "bad" movies. Uncomplicated! Innocent! Safe! Happy! Yeah...that's what it's all about.
