My Favourite Movies of All Time + Fun Facts

Has anyone seen Lights Out? It's a 2016 movie that I should have seen by now but haven't because it's horror and I can't even watch it at night which is the only time I have. I'm kinda idle right now not because I've finished reading everything in preparation for my exams in 2 weeks but because I've had tests back to back this week and I just need my brain to rest. The plan was to achieve this by seeing movies but as at the time of typing this blog post, there's only Lights Out available and the snippet I saw is really scary. The available options were either to sleep or publish a post and I decided to go for the latter and share my favourite movies of all time. The ones that have a really special place in my heart. So, let's dig in


1. My Best Friend's Wedding : A 1997 movie that I never got tired of watching and would still watch over and over again because my love for WEDDINGS has been around since forever. Made me love Julia Roberts because her character experienced such heartbreak.

2. Home Alone: Because so much adventure! I was always looking forward to what Kevin would do next. He was so naughty in a cute way and I loved how he kept dealing with the bad guys in a cool, amusing way. I'm guessing this was everyone's favourite at some point.

3. Sister's Act: Whoopi Goldberg! I don't even know exactly why this makes the list but trust me, it's a personal fave. Probably because there was so much adventure and a lot of trying to stay undercover.

4. Maid in Manhattan: Featuring Jennifer Lopez! Is there anyone who didn't love this movie? Writing this just makes me want to get hold of the movie and watch it all over again!

5. Sudden Death : I love action movies and it's only right that one makes the list. This movie was super scary and got my adrenaline pumping. Van Damme Jean Claude was the hero in this movie and he had to save himself, his two children and many other people from a bomb attack during a football game.

There are many other notable mentions like Problem Child, Big Momma's House. Did you notice that these movies are old? Well, some hormonal changes occurred, I ditched movies and developed a huge interest in books. I always say a book makes me travel and experience more adventure as I get to create pictures of places in my head! I can't wait to visit Athens, Greece where one of my favourite books was set and see if I did justice to those pictures. I'm beginning to develop more interest in movies these days tho. I guess that's a good thing.

Movie FunFacts About Me
1. I claim to love action movies but I technically haven't seen a complete Fast and Furious.
2. I haven't seen Harry Porter. Wait, I haven't even read the book. It didn't fit into the kind of book I was interested in when I had the chance to. Not sure about now.
3. Anytime I watch movies, I watch it to the very end. I mean, I watch the part showing the cast, crew and everything in between. I do this especially when it's on my phone. Reasons are unknown.
4. I'd rather watch a movie that's subtitled than one that isn't. I'm guessing this has to do with the reading part.
5. I don't dig series. Imagine falling in love with one and you have to wait months for the next season. I'd rather watch when the whole movie is done. Bye-bye Game of Thrones. Bye-bye Empire.

What's one movie fact about you?
Are you a movie or a book person? Both?
What's your current favourite movie? Mine has to be Zootopia, it's animated. Really weird cause I don't always seem to hear what they're saying.
What movie are you looking forward to seeing? I don't think I have one at the moment.
Action or Horror? Maybe both?
Which of my favourite movies have you seen and which haven't you seen?
Which is your favorite?

I'd love to hear from you! Kindly leave me your thoughts.

P.S : I'm still in that Abusive Relationship . Infact, it's gotten worse. Really frustrating but I'd be fine.
xxxx.

  1. Aww, so sorry you're still battling with that bad boy
    Hehe
    So am I, but we'd be fine.
    I haven't had the time to see a lot of new movies unfortunately, even though there was a time in my life I watched one new movie every day I woke up.
    My all time favorites would be all Tyler Perry movies, especially For Colored Girls, and I Can Do Bad All By Myself
    I never get tired of watching those two, and I always shed a tear or two.
    Lol
    The last movie I saw was With This Ring, such profound message in it about not waiting for anything outside of you to change for you to experience true happiness with your life.
    I should see at least one new movie this weekend -- I hope.
    Happy Friday, Ola!

  6. Yasss, I love Sister's Act. I haven't watched the Harry Potter movies or read the books either! I'm more of a book person really but I do love a good movie (preferably a romcom lol). I'm really looking forward to seeing the Beauty and the Beast next year, I love everything Disney! I find it really hard to pick a favourite movie but I really liked Love Jones (I'm sure you'll like it too). Aww you don't like series? I'm more of a series person than a movie person, I love the continuity of a series but you're right. Waiting between seasons can be quite annoying.Which is why most times I go for series that have ended or have more than 3 seasons out so I can binge watch. And I never do horror, I can't take it. Wow this was such a fun post Laitan, I think I'm going to do something similar on my blog (I'll give you a shoutout of course), thanks for sharing. xx

  7. Home alone is my all-favorite. My number 1! Like I can never get tired of seeing it over and over again. It brings me back memories of Xmas and we're just about that season now. I love to see movies but definitely not war movies. Lol scares the hell outta me.

  8. I am a movie girl, I love movies. I love tv shows too but I get what you mean, waiting for the nest season can be so though. The true pain is when you really love a show and it gets cancelled, not funny.
    I like action and comedy. I can't believe you haven't watch a complete fast and furious. Home alone was me and my brothers favorite as a kid. I like Sister's Act and Maid in Manhattan too.
    I don't have a current favorite movie but I lot of movies to catch up on.
    Really cool post. Have lovely weekend :)

  10. Books over movies any day!

    I've only watched 2, 3 and 4. But... what?!?!?!?! How on earth have you not read harry potter. I'm a serious fan!! You could watch the movie though. It's one of the few that didnt botch the original story in the book.

  13. Great post hun! I love action movies too. Haha, haven't watched Harry Porter either! But Fast and Furious, how could you not have??? Actually tbh, only the first few were great. Others have just been meh.
    Subtitles can be distracting though.

  17. No Harry Potter, no fast and furious, no Game of thrones, so basically you really don't know who Harry Potter is? Or what Paul Walker was really like, or how powerful John Snow is going to be?? No Sir, I do not want to be you rn, no offense. Nice post btw. Xoxo

  18. I'm not really into movies not sure why. I'd rather have a book in my hands but if I badly need to watch one, it has to be subtitled. It's like I literally can't hear what they are saying if it's not subtitled. This is one of the reasons I can't watch the Christmas channel even though I'm in the Christmas mood. Anyway, I haven't seen Harry Potter either and it's a big thing here and everyone gets this look on their faces when they find out I haven't but I've been forbidden to watch or even read it so...... I really want to see Mrs peregrines home for special children or something like that. It's been on my mind since I saw the trailer but alas, no time. I havent seen fast and furious either. Its just too long. I feel ill get bored.Love all your posts

  19. Home alone is an all time favourite, I watch it every Christmas and anytime I can sneak it in during the year. I lurr-hv maid in Manhattan and I'm down for any Tyler Perry movie. I'm absolutely looking forward to The wedding party (I'm a sucker for love). Well, I'm a book and movie person more of book though...

  20. OMG I just had to comment because I haven't watched Harry Potter too. I only read little of the book once. I woulda thought I was alone. Glad I have a mate. I also watch movies from the very beginning to the end. No fast forwarding. I just know that I like any movie with Denzel Washington in it. The new crop of Nollywood movies are faves too

  21. Deadpool was my film for 2016... Then I went to look for this Indian film of 2010, 3 IDIOTS...

    Ola, that Indian film is the bomb.. One of my best films ever after Terminator 2 by Arnold Swarzinegger... Hope I got the spelling right?

    Happy new year to you Ola. Wish in you the best. More power to your elbow to write more inspirational articles.

Life Update: 2018 Birthday Post

I was unsure about the idea of writing a birthday post this year because it's not very timely till I checked the posts of the last 2 years - 2016  and 2017 - and I realized they both went up on the 17th of March, 3 days after my birthday so why not continue the trend? Unlike the previous years, this was quite uneventful as I was in transit for some time, traveling to school to get stuff submitted and then rounding everything off pretty late so that I was unable to travel back home that same day. I had no extra clothing or toiletries so that was annoying but I pulled through nevertheless. I have a ritual of getting myself something but so far, I've not really seen what I'm interested in. A God sent person got me a book I've been looking to get my hands on for quite some time now and I was too happyyy! I'm definitely going to update this post with pictures of it later on. I'm really excited and looking forward to all what God has in store for me thi

Quick Life Update : The Abusive Relationship I Am In

I trusted him completely but he broke my heart and still is in the business of breaking it. His promise to always be with me Everywhere I Go was alas a lie. He said that only to catch my attention and make me his. He gave me mouth-watering packages that offered me less for more but it turned out to be a faΓ§ade. I'm tired and frustrated. I can't carry out my normal routine with all he's been doing. I trusted him just this once and he disappointed me. I never should have promoted him from the zone I placed him in initially. I remember all the times I heard people complain about theirs and I was always relieved I wasn't in their shoes but guess where I am now? I guess that's what life does. Sit in a corner and laugh at you. Nice job. He looks so attractive on the outside but deep down, there's nothing exciting about  him. A big fat faΓ§ade. I miss the things I could have been doing if I hadn't made the mistake of trusting him too much. His favourite colour is

Wedding Day Thrills : 6 Things I Look Forward to & 3 That I Don't!

Hey guys, I've not posted in a while. Isn't it nice how that screams consistency? Lol jokes. I promise to do better. I was watching TV the other day and came across this 'It's my wedding' program that showcases all the activities couples go through in prep for their wedding day. I remember being insanely attracted to all the Ovation magazines with wedding pictures when I was way younger.  I was constantly devouring the pictures and you'd think I'd grow up to become a bridal consultant or something close. Life oh Life. My mantra has always been 'I'm looking forward to my wedding day and not exactly to marriage' but who am I deceiving? Lol. I think every girl has their wedding fantasy kept somewhere close for easy editing and all so I thought to share some of the reasons I'm looking forward to getting wedded. •  Pre-wedding shoot : Some years back, this wouldn't have been on the list but with all these beautiful and also hilariou
