  • (20) Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) dir. J.J. Abrams, USA action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi (cinema, 3D, mall so... yeah, with Bianca, Matt, Serj and lots of other people; I really enjoyed it and wore Leia buns!)
  • (17) Christmas Vacation (1989) dir. Jeremiah S. Chechik, USA comedy (rewatch, although I swear I don't remember ever seeing it again, it wasn't that interesting or Christmasy, not even that fun)
  • (15) Elf (2003) dir. Jon Fabreau, USA, Germany comedy, fantasy, family (rewatch, so sweet and really fun)
  • (15) Miracle on 34th Street (1994) dir. Les Mayfield, USA fantasy, family (rewatch, so cute and fun, and I believe!)

  • (10) Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) dir. Richard Marquand, USA action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi (and we are back to being disappointed, I really did not enjoy most of this one, too bad because V was awesome and I had high hopes)
  • (10) Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) dir. Irvin Kershner, USA action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi (I liked this one the most so far!! It was not only funny, but also a great film, emotional, great, fill of action, characters development and more!)
  • (8) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) dir. George Lucas, USA action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi (I actually really loved this one, it was incredibly funny, it had some boring moments due to it being so slow at times, but what matters is how much fun I had watching it!)

  • (4) Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) dir. George Lucas, USA action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi (well, much better than the first one, I still feel like this film wished to accomplish more than it did, but at least the dialogue and acting got better)

November 2015

  • (23) Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) dir. George Lucas, USA action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi (cheesiest acting and dialogue ever, oddly enough I didn't remember much from when I first saw it in the cinema three or four years ago)
  • (19) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) dir. Francis Lawrence, USA sci-fi, adventure (cinema FP, with Bianca and Sorana, I enjoyed it a lot - apart from the Gale scenes, sad the franchise came to an end)

October 2015

  • (17) Selma (2014) dir. Ava DuVernay, UK, USA biography, drama, history (biographical films are great for learning new things in a fun way, I made sure to read the wiki after because you always need to know how much is fact and how much is fiction)
