In light of recent events, it has been impossible for me to avoid Sandra Bullock. I've always enjoyed her acting diversity & her uncanny ability to make jest of her own misfortunes. This has been true, even in recent months. I cried when I listened to her Oscar acceptance speech. I cried when I re-watched the moment online, after the scandal broke. Despite her personal life, becoming a media circus, I believe her to be an incredible Woman. Here are my Top Five Sandra Bullock Movies.
5. Practical Magic.
This is the first Sandra Bullock Film I saw. I love how this Movie was cast. Stockard Channing, Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
4. While You Were Sleeping
I haven't seen this in many many years. I must watch this again soon. It's beautiful and says a lot for Human Nature - the good, the bad & the ugly.
3. Miss Congeniality
I was a teenager when this came out. I was genetically pre-disposed to enjoy it. I love how this Movie captures the essence of her quirky, quirky comedic abilities. "I am in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starved, AND I'm armed! Don't MESS with me!"
2. The Proposal
Who would've predicted that Ryan Reynolds & Sandra Bullock would make a fantastic On-Screen couple. I love them together. The story was fairly predictable, but there were some sweet comedic moments that I really enjoyed. Like the Dance scene with Gammy, The singing scene, and this one...
1. The Blind Side
I LOVE this Film. Love. The story is incredible. It is acted beautifully. Naturally. This is far from your average football success story. It is a moving commentary on the capacity of the human heart & what beautiful things the human spirit is capable of. If you have been reluctant to see this movie, please watch the trailer below, and then re-evaluate.
I LOVE While You Were Sleeping. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Haven't seen The Proposal but really want to, and had never heard of Blind Side but want to see it now! Awesome! Thanks!
