I mean, one of the greatest pieces of fiction, amirite?

I also skipped through to the best parts of Pitch Perfect 2 (Skylar Astin, Ben Platt, some musical numbers…)
Sense & Sensibility (1995)
Jane Austen is the greatest, do not you think?
Mulan
This is just the greatest Disney film.
Little Women (1994)
I love this so much and I had to clear my mind of it in preparation for watching the new version.

I quite liked this, but also I kept thinking about how different Charles Dickens would turn out to be in a couple of years.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
A classic.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie just understands me.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
This still holds nostalgia for me and I think I understood a couple of things a little better, but bits of it bother me.

This is fun, but nonetheless, I feel very uneasy supporting anyone who supports the conservative party.

I watched these with my mum and it was lovely.
The Mandalorian
Baby Yoda.
THEATRE
Pride & Prejudice
While I loved this theatre and the people who work there and my overall experience, I was not impressed with the show.
