Old Movies to Re-watch now

By Kiersten Garbutt

Anyone up for a classic movie night marathon? Make the popcorn and get in your favourite pyjamas because all these movies you can watch at the comfort of your own bed, using Netflix of course.

Up first we have Dirty Dancing, starring Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze, and Jerry Orbach. This movie was produced in 1987. The movie starts with a family, two sisters, and a mother and father. They are driving to a summer resort for vacation. Young 17-year-old Frances meets a dance instructor and falls in love. A lot of the movie is dedicated to Frances and the bad boy dance instructor trying to nail a dance routine to save a common friend. If you love a good romantic movie this one is definitely for you.

If you are not into romantic movies, then this second movie is for you. An old-time comedy called Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, and Mia Sara. This movie is about a group of high schoolers that decide to take a day off and skip school. The group of teenagers get in loads of trouble but still manage to have a great, funny, memorable day.

To finish off your movie marathon, let's end it with a classic musical, Annie. This childhood favourite will have you singing “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow” all the next day. This movie stars Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, and Carol Burnett. The movie begins with an orphan girl that catches the eye of a multi millionaire. The rich man begins the search to find Annie’s real parents, with a huge sum of award money attracts many bad guys, including Annie’s old orphanage houseparent.

I hope this movie marathon list helps you relax after mid-terms and creates a feeling of nostalgia.
