day two - your favourite movie

day two, and i have to choose just one of so many movies that i would quite happily sit down and watch every day.
once again, similarly to my favourite song, there are many that i could choose, but i am choosing to go with a classic. a movie that i have loved since i was a child. a movie that i could sit down and watch, forget about the world, and immerse myself into the wonders of disney.

Beauty and the Beast

how can you possibly not love this movie?
there's a young, strong, determined female lead. who (unlike other disney movies) does NOT change herself for the guy.
there's that guy you want to punch in the face.
there's the sweet guy who is disguised for the whole movie until he is released from the magic spell.
um, hello, there's MAGIC.
because of the magic, there is a TALKING CLOCK, a TALKING CANDLESTICK, a TALKING TEA POT, and the list of enchanted items in the castle goes on...
and of course, who could forget the amazing showtunes found in this movie? you know, those ones that get stuck in your head for hours.... "be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test..." (it's stuck in your head now, isn't it? ;-) )

seriously though, how many movies nowadays give our generation and positive message, especially one as important as "true beauty is found within"?

this movie has taught me some pretty important lessons, and always cheers me up.

so there it lives, and will continue to do so, a 'tale as old as time'
