We all have a favorite movie ... what’s yours? Cold weather and the holiday season are approaching, which means we will all be spending more time gathered around the television with family, friends or a beloved pet. So it’s time to queue up a few movies on your favorite streaming services, stock up on your go-to snacks and drinks, and pull out your most comfortable loungewear. On these pages, some of our members provide movie recommendations that might fit your mood. Yashiba Blanchard

MOVIES DEPICT ENDLESS WAYS TO FIND LOVE First, I am a “romantic and romantic comedy movie girl.” I love movies like “Maid in Manhattan,” “The Wedding Planner” and “The Notebook.” My favorite movie is “A Walk in The Clouds.” I love this movie because it reminds me of the endless circumstances in finding true love. The movie is about two individuals (Victoria and Paul) with individual personal dilemmas who spontaneously meet while traveling early on in their careers. Victoria, a university student, is expecting, which causes her to leave college to return home. Paul is a salesman who sells chocolates and is to be married soon to a person he does not love. Both are seriously unhappy with their present lives. Also, both characters need each other to accomplish their fate without knowing it. Paul agrees to help Victoria with her predicament, and they create a false love story that ultimately develops into a true love story — “their love story.” This movie is simply splendid, and it demonstrates that personal dilemmas lead you to the love of your life!

AN INSTANT CLASSIC FOR COMIC BOOK FANS My favorite movie is Marvel’s “Avengers: End Game.” It is an instant classic for any comic book fan. The ending has to be one of the greatest. The moment Captain America realizes that every Marvel character from the past movies is standing behind him is epic!
