50 Lessons Learned From Movies | Static-Romance.Org Happy Monday! I know it’s not always happy but today it is because Creatives Couples is back!

Chad: Ok, Lisa’s answer reminded me of something. Do you think being creatives makes it easier to understand each other? Lisa: Yes and no. Chad: Haha, yes.

Infographic: The 2,000 Most Important Films Of All Time If you live long enough, you get to appreciate culture’s patterns. You see that Menudo is really NSYNC is really One Direction. Eventually, society just craves an old flavor and it’s mixed anew. The History of Film is the latest archival infographic from HistoryShots. (Ed note: See a different take, Martin Scorsese’s top 85 films, here.) Before he could build the graphic, though, designer Larry Gormley had to narrow down thousands of candidates, collected over two years, to a more manageable figure. With the list in hand, Gormley began plotting. “The original feature-length movies were dramas, then came adventure/action films, then Westerns, etc. It’s a surprisingly effective visual.

E: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Yeah it’s a love story, but it’s one of the most original and smartest love stories ever concocted. F: Forrest Gump Only an epic movie like Forrest Gump could knock off the likes of Fight Club and Fargo. G: The Godfather: Part II The Corleone story somehow got even better in the second Godfather film. H: The Hangover Exactly why we both love and hate Las Vegas. See I-P » Pages: 1 2 3
aM laboratory The 14 Best Martial Arts Movies Every Guy Should See Few things are as delectably enjoyable as martial arts films. You can turn most on half way through and still get glued to your couch. You coast along with the plot (as awful as it can be at times) eagerly anticipating the next fight scene.
