Oft considered one of the all-time best Disney movies, it was also one of the first to resonate with me. How amazing was it? The music, the characters, the animation, the story (that's important, too). It was all great! The fantastic movie that is Aladdin. So many songs transport me back to my past childhood. "Arabian Nights," "Prince Ali," and "Never Had a Friend Like Me," are just some of the ones that come to mind and those aren't even the ones considered the best in the movie! Also, Robin Williams was perfectly cast. And this movie was perfectly made.
Animated musical directed by Ron Clements and John Musker and written by Ron Clements, John Musker, Ted Elliot, and Terry Rossio in 1992.
Starring: Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Jonathan Freeman, Linda Larkin, Frank Welker, and Gilbert Gottfried.

Jimmy Fallon Is Perfect
Sorry if I've oversaturated everyone by sharing multiple Buzzfeed lists recently, but someone tagged me in Buzzfeed's tweet about this one in particular and I just had to share it with you as it was shared with me. Twenty-four moments that prove Jimmy Fallon is perfect? Sounds like my kind of list! You can see it all here!

100 Favorite Movies: 77
I only saw this movie recently, but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it was long, a complaint many had with the movie, but I liked it. The length made it unconventional, in a good way, but the whole movie was so far from the norm of a romantic comedy. It was so much darker, and yes, obviously, it had a happy ending, but even then it wasn't that much of a happy ending. There was darkness there and it was apparent. Nevertheless, I still loved the movie.
Romantic comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller and written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller in 2012.
Starring: Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Pratt, Alison Brie, Mimi Kennedy, David Paymer, Jim Piddock, Jacki Weaver, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Hart, and Randall Park.

Marvel's Big Announcement
When Marvel told everyone they were going to hold a huge announcement ceremony-type thing on a Tuesday, speculation went wild. Many thought the actor behind Doctor Strange would be revealed or new footage from Avengers: Age of Ultron would be shown or it would be announced that Spider-Man would join The Avengers. What we got was something hugely amazing that will resonate in the history of cinema forever. Marvel announced the entirety of their third phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here's a quick recap:
First of all, a Black Panther movie was announced! We'll get that out of the way since they actually cast him with (my ideal choice) Chadwick Boseman! He will also be making an appearance in Captain America 3.
Speaking of which, Kevin Feige announced the subtitle of Cap 3 as "Serpent Society" but later changed it to "Civil War" at which point Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans walked out! Big doings.
We already know about Doctor Strange, but a title card was released! Then, one for the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy was revealed, as well, and the movie was bumped up to May 5, 2017. Then, Thor 3 received the title, Thor: Ragnarok. Will Thor be going to hell?
Then, of course, Black Panther was announced, but they skipped one date. That was when a Captain Marvel movie was revealed to be happening! In succession will be Marvel's first black superhero-led film and first woman superhero-led film. Big doings! Additionally, after Captain Marvel, another team-up movie was shown the title card. The Inhumans (counterpoint for the X-Men?)! That was pretty neat, but the neatest announcement came next.
The movie skipped before was revealed to be Avengers: Infinity War Part One! WHAT?! Then, of course, there's Avengers: Infinity War PART TWO! Ahhhh!! Everyone freaked out.
We are in for an exciting time. Get ready for ultimate crossovers and ultimate films. It. Will. Be. Groundbreakingly. Astounding. Cinematic. Achievement.

Jim and Pam Know Love
The Office will never die. It truly want. Not only do we always have the episodes and everything that ever happened with it ever, but the impact it had on television and culture and offices and love and staplers in Jell-O and everything will truly last forever. As evidenced by this Buzzfeed list that depicts twenty-one love-affirming moments between Jim and Pam. Beautiful.

100 Favorite Movies: 78
I know what you're probably thinking. How could I ever possibly put Paul Blart: The Goddamn Mall Cop over such classics as E.T. and Jaws? I'll tell you what. I know it's a silly movie and kind of inane and it stars Kevin James and all, but hey. It came out at the perfect time for me to have an affinity for it. It was set during Christmastime just after I was wallowing in the loss of Christmastime and, plus, I was young and naive. I do enjoy this movie.
Action comedy directed by Steve Carr and written by Kevin James and Nick Bakay in 2009.
Starring: Kevin James, Jayma Mays, Keir O'Donnell, Bobby Cannavale, Adam Ferrara, Peter Gerety, and Adhir Kalyan.
