Top 5 movies to Netflix &...

Dirty Dancing

Still a classic

Though I don’t like romantic movies, I grew up watching this one. Little TMI, this is my mom’s favorite movie, which explains why I watched it so many times. It is a great movie with a lot of famous quotes you would find in today’s pop culture. The story follows “baby” who falls in love with a dance instructor while she is on vacation with her family. Don’t let the fact that it came out in 1987 scare you, it is a nice classic to put on at night to just shut off your brain and enjoy.

Someone Great

Hearbreak and Alcohol

This one, I really liked it. Other than the two main actors that I really like, this story feels rawer with its portrayal of emotions after a breakup. We follow the main character trying to cope with it in different ways and with the help of her friends. This movie is a mix of sad emotions while also being fun and entertaining to watch. From sadness to anger, without forgetting acceptance, you see all the phases that someone could go through after a breakup. This one is to enjoy with a little glass of wine during a cozy night.

Sweet and Sour

Good twists

This movie might not be the most romantic but I liked the twist and turn of the plot. This 2021 South Korean movie follows Da Eun and Jang Hyuk as they are managing their new long-distance relationships. Compared to the other movies I mentioned, this one feel more like a portrayal of a real-life and down-to-earth type of love. It’s a good watch, it may not become your favorite movie but you’ll have a good time for sure.

Blueming

Do yourself a favor

Malcolm & Marie

Just watch it

This one is also a piece of art. This movie is all in black and white and was filmed in one place as we follow the character over the length of one night. It would be an understatement to say that Zendaya and John David Washington did a great job, they are magnificent in this movie. They portray raw emotions and a more passionate type of love. It may not be the funniest of the selection but watch it, you won’t be disappointed!

I might be cheating with this one since technically it is a miniseries. However, since it is still hard for the South Korean entertainment industry to give full length episodes to the LGBTQ+ community, one episode is only 14 mins and there are a total of only 11 episodes. From the visuals to the acting, this mini-series tackles subjects like bullying, obsession with social appearance and of course, love between two different people but also between family members. This one will make you think but trust me you’ll like every second.
