Friday's Five Favorites

It's the weekend. The weather is going to BEAUTIFUL tomorrow. And this is a good thing because I am throwing a nice big party. I've been busy, busy, busy all week with cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and lots of running around. I just finished cleaning the bathroom for my guests. Do you think it's a bad thing to make my kids hold it until tomorrow night? Okay, I'm kidding, but seriously....little boy's and going to the bathroom with bad aim just means I'm going to be cleaning again tomorrow, doesn't it?

So, the food is ordered and the bar is stocked. In honor of the party, this week's Five Faves are....movies with great party scenes!!

Okay...let's Party On!!!

Five:
REVENGE OF THE NERDS-
This movie has a few party scenes, but two stands out. One is when the Tri Lambdas decide to throw a kick ass party, but...they are nerds. They invite the nerdiest Sorority, Omega Mu's and everything starts off awkward. It's a room with a bunch of wallflowers. Of course things kick in and the Nerds indeed throw a kick ass party. The other party scene in when they are at the fair and they have to perform before the crowd. Yeah....you know that song....no?
"Clap your hands everybody and everybody clap your hands. We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and...Omega Mu. And we come up here on stage tonight to do a show for you...."
No? Anyone? Just me?

Four:
CAN'T HARDLY WAIT-
This is a great movie about that last night of high school. All different kinds of characters gather at a house party and we get to see them and laugh at them as they interact with one another. From the Jocks to the Stoners to the Geeks to the Wanna Bes. The best are Seth Green who is a poser and Ethan Embry who has finally worked up is courage to tell the girl of his dreams how he loves her. So many people are in this movie. Watch this one just to see how many you recognize.

Three:
WEIRD SCIENCE-
Classic 80's movie where two geeks create their own beautiful, supermodel of a woman. The twist is she has super powers and can grant wishes to them and herself. When she insist that they throw a party so they can mingle and impress girls, everything goes haywire from her turning the kitchen blue, freezing the grandparents, and bringing in the craziest motorcycle gang. A young Robert Downey Jr. plays one of the bullies and Bill Paxton will forever be remembered as big brother Chet.

Two:
DAZED AND CONFUSED-
Another end of the school year party with a lot of famous faces that you might recognized. It's 1976 and the party is just groovy. Great soundtrack, great lines, and just all around a great movie.

One:
MAMMA MIA-
Just for that final scene where they are all dancing and the water bursts but they keep on partying. It's ABBA, you can't go wrong. It's a feel good movie that will have you wanting to party after seeing it and just dance the night away.
