Our Favorite Movies and TV Series #1


BBC's Call The Midwife:
Both of us and our Mom have thoroughly enjoyed this TV series! We can't wait for the next season to air and are looking forward to all of the exiting things that will happen! This series is focused on the nuns and midwifes that deliver the many babies born in Poplar, a small town in the east end of London, England. It is set in the 1950s.


The Amazing Spider-Man (1 and 2):
Ah, yes. Spider-man... our all-time favorite super-hero! We love super-hero movies, but these are definitely our favorites! We really like it best because of the whole geeky, techie side and we're kinda geeks! :)

 BBC's Sherlock:
 We have only seen the first two episodes of this series and are already kinda in love! This is a TV series that we enjoy watching with our Dad, as he is also into cool mysteries. We have ten episodes left to watch on Netflix, but after that we have to wait until 2016 for the next season! BBC, you're killin' us! This series is set in modern day London and is a really cool twist to the whole Sherlock story.


The Hobbit (1 and 2):
Oooohhhhh yeah! These movies are awesome! We definitely like the second better than the first, but they were both completely epic! The third one comes out in December and we are so exited! To read our review for the second one, click HERE!


Pride and Prejudice:
Yes, we could easily say this is one of our favorite movies! The story it so complex and original. Jane Austen was an amazing author! It's one of those love stories that doesn't seem totally fake. We've watched it countless times!


The Book Thief:
Oh, don't even get us started on this one... here just read our movie review! :)


The Lord of the Rings (1, 2, and 3):
We love these movies! They are inspiring movies that are really fun and exiting! We like them because they really make you stop and think about the reason for it all.


Saving Mr. Banks:
Set in the 1960s, this movie tells the story behind Mary Poppins. Specifically, about the author and her experience with Mr. Walt Disney. It is very touching, but we will warn you, it is very emotional.


The Chronicles of Narnia:
These movies are very encouraging exiting and true to the books. They really portray Narnia as it should be.

  1. I totally love the Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Pride and Prejudice, and the Narnia movies! BTW, have you seen the A&E 5 hour Pride and Prejudice. It follows the book really well and fills an exciting five hours. It is kinda long but its wonderful for long car trips!

    1. Yes, we have seen the A&E Pride and Prejudice. We learned quite a bit about the story that the movie didn't cover! We still prefer the movie for a one-night watch, but really enjoyed the series!
      Thank you for your comment!

    1. Hi Abi!
      Thanks for your comment! The Book Thief and Saving Mr. Banks are both wonderful (a fair warning though, we cried at both :))! Definitely worth watching!

  4. We have enjoyed many of these, Sherlock is a favorite of our family nights. I think there is a special to come out around Christmas 2015 before the three episodes of the 2016 season -- that is what I read a while back. It is amazing the time frame between seasons.

    1. Thanks for your comment, Cheryl! We watched the 3rd Sherlock episode the night before last and are itching to watch the next! We're kind of reluctant to finish the episodes we can, though, because there are only a few left and we don't want to be left hanging as much as we were Thursday night :).
