♥ 80's Loves Part 2 ♥

Ok...So next up is.......

Edward Scissorhands!













I have seen this film so many times I've lost count, and everytime I watch it I cry.
It's such a beautiful film and the music adds so much to it. In fact, I only have to listen to the music and I get a little teary eyed.
Edward is such a lovely character and you really feel his pain and loneliness.
I love the scene when Winona Ryder is dancing outside in the snow
















Apparently the street it was filmed on is just north of Tampa, Florida and is called Tinsmith Circle.
Unfortunately the houses aren't painted pastel colours anymore, but didn't they look amazing?












I really want to watch the film now....
If you haven't seen it, you HAVE to watch it!



Next is.......
Labyrinth!


This film stole my heart as a child.
I LOVED Sarah! Her dress, her jewellery, her bedroom!
When I was younger I thought she was amazing.
The story is amazing, as are all the characters.
When I will little I would sit with my sister and we would watch from beginning to end and sing ALL the songs!

My favorite characters...Sarah














Ludo
The gentle giant










Sir Didymus
Amazing little guy











The Worm!!!
Such a cutie!!















♥♥ I love this picture ♥♥

80's Loves ♥♥♥♥

I am a total 80's kid!
Sometimes there's nothing better than snuggle up on the sofa with my boyfriend and cat on a cold day and watch our favorite films from our childhood

First favorite is The Goonies

I LOVED Mikey!
I love everything about this film plus it has music from Cyndi Lauper, which is always a bonus!!
This site is amazing because it has info about the film and all the places the movie was filmed.
I really really want to go there someday.

Next up is The Wizard....






















I vaguely remember this film from my childhood. But was reintroduced to it when I met my boyfriend. He LOVES it! He claims it's because he loves nintendo, but I think it has a bit to do with Jenny Lewis!
Anyway, this film is so nostalgic, sweet and heartbreaking. If you watch this, you will cry!

The place we would both love to visit is the Dino in the film
