Okay, let's talk about movies. Specifically, movies that start with the letter "C." Buckle up, butter your popcorn (or grab your kale chips, I don't judge), and prepare for some potentially controversial takes.
The Classics (and the "Classics")
First, the big guns. Casablanca. Yep, it's there. Is it good? Sure, probably. Do I fully understand why everyone RAVES about it? Honestly, no. But I'm willing to pretend.
Then you have Citizen Kane. Another "must-see." I watched it once. I remember... a sled? Maybe. Don't @ me.
And who could forget Cleopatra (the Liz Taylor one)? Epic length, epic costumes, epic budget. Epic nap time potential, if we're being honest.
Comedies That Crack Me Up (or Try To)
Comedy time! Let's talk Caddyshack. Pure, unadulterated silliness. I love it.
What about Coming to America? Eddie Murphy at his finest. Bow bow chicka chicka!
Don't forget Clueless! As if! Still quotable. Still stylish. Still makes me wish I lived in Beverly Hills.
Crime and Capers (with a Side of Cheese)
Craving some crime? Casino comes to mind. Scorsese. De Niro. Pesci. What could go wrong? A lot, actually, but entertainingly so.
How about Catch Me If You Can? Di Caprio and Hanks? Yes, please! A fun cat-and-mouse game.
And for something a little lighter, there’s Charade. Cary Grant. Audrey Hepburn. Mystery! Romance! Fabulous hats!
Cartoons and Childhood Favorites
Can't forget the cartoons! Cars. Kachow! My kids loved it. I pretended to.
Then there's Chicken Run. Claymation chickens plotting their escape. What's not to love?
And of course, Cinderella. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Timeless. Even if glass slippers seem incredibly impractical.
The "Guilty Pleasure" Category
Okay, now we're getting to the good stuff. The movies you secretly love, but might not admit to in polite company.
Con Air. Cage! Malkovich! Explosions! Need I say more?
Let's not forget Coyote Ugly. Yeah, I said it. The bar dancing. The bad romance. It's... something.
And maybe, just maybe, I have a soft spot for Center Stage. Ballet drama! Dreams! Awkward teen romance! Don't judge me!
The Ones I'm Still Confused About
Finally, the movies that left me scratching my head. Cloud Atlas. Visually stunning. Utterly baffling. Anyone?
And what about Children of Men? Dystopian. Bleak. Memorable. But also... kind of depressing.
Finally Contact. Jodie Foster searches for aliens. It's philosophical. It's scientific. I still don't know what to think about it.
So, there you have it. My completely subjective and probably slightly wrong take on movies that start with "C." What are your favorites? And which ones do you think are overrated? Let the debate begin!
