Degrassi Goes Hollywood (2009)

I have to admit, I really missed the boat on the Degrassi franchise in the beginning but as a devoted fan of Kevin Smith, his interest caught my interest and I started watching. Before long, I was hooked. I also really like Shenae Grimes so I thought there might be a chance of a cameo in Degrassi Goes Hollywood.

I was excited and even though I didn’t get the cameo I had been hoping for, I was treated to so much more – Kevin Smith, Vivica A. Fox, Kelly Carlson and Pete Wentz! A great story! A great cast with many of the beloved Degrassi regulars and the awesome Jason Mewes. All in all, Degrassi Goes Hollywood is a winner!

The only problem? Two words – Perez Hilton. That dude makes my blood boil. Aside from that, there are precious few problems with Degrassi Goes Hollywood and so much to love!

Dirty Dancing (1987)

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”

Legendary line from a legendary movie. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray had a special kind of magic that rarely happens on screen. She was adorable and innocent. He was hunky and rugged – were the perfect on screen couple.

Dirty Dancing will go down in history as one of the best chick flicks ever made. It’s the perfect date movie because, secretly, guys like it too. They might not admit it, but it’s a proven fact. Proven by who? Who cares!

Titanic (1997)

Legendary – a classic. I don’t really know what to say about Titanic. We’ve all seen it and we all love it. This is a movie that gets better every time you watch it.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have the kind of chemistry that sets the screen on fire. We lose ourselves in Jack and Rose. Leonardo and Kate don’t exist. They play their roles flawlessly. It’s no surprise no one believed they weren’t a couple off-screen.

Titanic really has everything a girl could ask for in a chick flick – romance, drama, action, a cute boy and a weep-inducing ending. There is nothing about Titanic that doesn’t work and that’s why we all love it so much.
