I’ve lived through many ages. I’ve seen suffering in the darkness. Yet I have seen beauty thrive in the most fragile of places. I have seen the book. The book that turned darkness into light.
The Secret Of Kells (2009) - Tomm Moore & Nora Twomey
This movie is a kaleidoscope of patterns that are so gorgeous it hurts. <3
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve. ‘Ask me not where he doth dwell—so many bones there lie On the white shores and on the black shores under the stormy sky; So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing sea. Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’ Oh Boromir! Beyond the gate the Seaward road runs South, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey seas mouth.
:'( Every. Time.

This poster is perfect.

"A real dedicated children's film is something that adults will also find rewarding whereas films made for adults which consist simply of a kind of adornment and decoration will leave children deeply dissatisfied. I oppose simplifying the world for children. The fact of the matter is that children know, somehow they intuit and deeply understand the complexity of the world we live in. So, I would suggest that you not underestimate children." ~Hayao Miyazaki Screencap from Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi - Spirited Away (2001)

Anachie Gordon
by Mary Black
(derived from the Scottish folk song Lord Saltoun and Auchanachie) Harking is bonnie And there lives my love My heart lies on him And will not remove It will not remove Oh for all that I have done Oh I never will forget my love Anachie For Anachie Gordon He's bonnie and he's rough He'd entice any woman that ever he saw He'd entice any woman and so he has done me Oh I never will forget my love Anachie Down came her father and he's standing by the door Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie For Anachie Gorden, he's barely but a man Although he may be pretty but where are his lands? Oh the Sulton's lands are broad and his towers they run high You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread And before I'll marry Sulton it's gold to my head With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie And you that are my parents to Church you may me bring But unto Lord Sulton I'll never bear a son To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home And when she and her maidens so merry should have been When she and her maidens so merry should have been She went into her chambers she cried all alone Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns But she fell down to the floor so close down by his knee Saying father look I'm dying for me love Anachie The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands Saying oh it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead You that are her maidens go take me by the hand And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in And he's kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in

Frauenkirche - Dresden - Saxony - Germany (von beatbull)
I love the history behind this church. Only the dark-coloured stones are from the original church before the bombing of Dresden.

Five Movies That Move Me (aka My Five Favorite Movies)
The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) This trilogy counts as one. No arguing with me on that point. This was the first set of films that I was completely, uncontrollably obsessed with. If LotR had been a subject in school I would have gotten 150% on every test. For the first time in my life I was able to be completely swept away into a fantasy world where good triumphed over evil and anything was possible. I dreamt of being a Hobbit, and was often found romping around town with my friends in our home-made cloaks.This trilogy touched my soul, encouraged me to expand my imagination through fanfiction and fanart, and helped me identify with something that would ALWAYS be there for me, even when everything else in my life fell apart. Ishtar (1987) This movie has always been running in the background of my life. It is somewhat of a classic in my family, and many a great evening have been spent with several generations of us laughing along to this single greatest box-office flop in cinematic history. From the ridiculously catchy tunes to the unforgettable one-liners (“In fact, I distinctly remember them NOT glowing”) I know this film will always bring a smile to my face and improve my mood by 110%. It takes a special person to truly appreciate the insanity that is this movie, but thankfully my family are all pretty special. Phantom of the Opera (2004) The first time I saw The Phantom of the Opera I didn’t like it. Since then, this darkly mysterious movie has worked its way into the depths of my being. Few other soundtracks can seriously move me the way Andrew Lloyd Webber’s does. Pair that with the sweeping visuals of the opera house, and it’s a swoon-worthy combination that deeply enchants me every single time I watch it. One of my favorite songs of all time is “All I Ask of You,” and Emmy Rosum & Patrick Wilson’s version is flawless. Bonus: The French language track option translates all the songs into French as well, giving the movie that extra special factor for me that makes me want to drown in it forever. The Princess Bride (1987) "Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They’re so perky, I love that." - Miracle Max I cannot even begin to describe what this movie means to me. I’ve been watching it since I was three years old, and anyone who truly loves it knows how I feel about it. Across The Universe (2007) This was the first “grown up movie” that I was able to appreciate for sheer beauty. I let myself be caught up in the visuals and the music and for the first time understood how a film can truly be a work of art and not just a means of telling a story. It really is sort of a “coming of age” film - which I paired with my own venturing out into the world in my own way. The soundtrack fueled my life at a time when I was making changes and experiencing new things, which will forever endear this movie to me and ensure it a special place in this list. Runners Up Edward Scissorhands (1990) - If this was a list of six movies, this would have made the cut. The contrast in this movie makes it delicious, and the characters are unforgettable. Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) - Since I only just watched this for the first time this year, I cannot allow it to be on the list; it needs to prove itself with longevity. However, it is stunning and in its own way convinced me to take chances when I just wanted to stay in my own little “hat shop” forever. Pride and Prejudice (1995) - The only reason I couldn’t include this one is that it’s TECHNICALLY a mini-series and not a movie. I would willingly sit down and watch all five hours of it every week if I had the time. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth’s banter is the stuff of legends, and I always find myself wondering if they will ever actually work out their differences by the end :)
That Thing You Do (1996) TBP's clapping in bottom right. 'Nuff said. This movie molded me.
“As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing. 'What has happened?' the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby carriage along the sidewalk. 'Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well,' replied the man; 'and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.' 'Hm!' said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. 'If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?' 'I really do not know,' replied the man, with a deep sigh. 'Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.'” ― L. Frank Baum, The Marvelous Land of Oz
