What's your "go-to" movie? The one you watch when you need to just get away from it all?
Submitted by uncagedbird.
It's not a movie, but I watch it on DVD, so I'm still counting it.
I have watched Gilmore Girls seasons 1 through 7 more times than I can count. My friend Emma and I watched our DVDs regularly during college, and always watched the new episodes together whenever we could. Watching Gilmore Girls now has not lost any of the fun (the episodes get better and better the more you know them) and it's now also extremely comforting.
When I moved to New York, whenever I got homesick I would watch a few episodes, and I always felt better. When it comes to getting away from it all, there's no better fictional place than Stars Hallow.
In terms of actual movies, I have several that get a lot of use because they are entertaining, familiar, and comforting. The ones that come to mind are: The Sure Thing, Pride and Prejudice, A Prairie Home Companion, and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Tonight's Top Five is bittersweet. My favorite television show, Gilmore Girls, airs its series finale tomorrow night.
As a small tribute, here is my list of Top Five favorite episodes. Great Scott - it was hard to pick just five.
1- Season 2, Episode 10: The Bracebridge Dinner. All of the cast assembled for a night of entertainment at the Inn? Absolutely too much fun. Also very cute Rory/Jess and Lorelai/Luke Moments.
2- Season 2, Episode 13: A-Tisket, A-Tasket. Again, wonderful because of how much of the town is involved. And again, more cute Rory/Jess and Luke/Lorelai times. This is the type of episode quality that was gone in the 7th season when Amy & Dan left.
3- Season 4, Episode 7: You Jump, I Jump, Jack. I've never been a huge Logan fan, but this episode was perfect. I loved the Life and Death Brigade event, and the end of the episode was incredibly fun.
4- Season 3: Episode 22: Those Are Strings, Pinocchio. Rory graduates from Chilton. Her graduation speech is beautiful and a total tear-jerker.
5- Season 2, Episode 20: Help Wanted. I love how Lorelai helps Richard out in this episode. A touching, sweet change of pace for a relationship that has its ups and downs.
There are way too many great episodes left off this list. Maybe I should just leave it at a "Top Five Seasons of Gilmore Girls" - Decision: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
What are your favorite episodes?
Tomorrow night we'll be watching the last episode in a fashion Lorelai and Rory would approve of - a large pizza and lots of junk food.
Goodbye Girls.
