The Teen Movie
Whether you’re 13 or 33, everyone loves a good teen movie. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (TATBILB for short), is the epitome of teen movie! If you haven’t seen it yet get going!!

The Throwback
Are we that old that 90’s movies are considered a throwback?! *gasps* There’s no denying it, the 90’s produced some damn good movies that are still enjoyable today! One of my favourites? Four Weddings And A Funeral, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry (a lot if you’re anything like me), you’ll just love it! The plot, you guessed it, follows a group of friends as they encounter four weddings and a funeral. It’s a must watch!
Watch If… You want a good cry, but also a few laughs. They’re also making a series that follows the same plot soon, so this will give you good insights into what to expect!

The Musical
Mamma Mia is everything you want from a Musical, awesome music (thank you ABBA), a funny and slightly unbelievable plot, and a great cast! Starring the likes of Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan, and set against the GORGEOUS backdrop of a Greek Island, Mamma Mia is the musical you need this summer!
Watch If… You finally want to know what these ABBA people your parents keep talking about actually sing. You’ll be singing along yourself in no time!

The Dramedy
About Time is one of those movies you’ll want to watch over and over again. A seemingly normal romantic drama gets flipped on it’s head with the introduction of fantasy and time travel! Expect laughs, tears, and a refreshed sense of wonder. About Time will spark your imagination, written by Richard Curtis expect your typical British romantic comedy tropes found in Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Bridget Jones’ Diary
Watch If… The world has got you down, and you need a bit of magic!
