I’m participating in the A-Z Blog Challenge. You can find the big list of participants by Googling. Each blog has a different theme. I’m doing a favorite movie of mine that starts with the days letter each day, but taking off on Sundays with a regular Kerry nonsense post.
Elizabethtown, 2005
Here’s an Elizabethtown plot description from IMDB:
After causing a loss of almost one billion dollars in his company, the shoe designer Drew Baylor decides to commit suicide. However, in the exact moment of his act of despair, he receives a phone call from his sister telling him that his beloved father had just died in Elizabethtown, and he should bring him back since his mother had problem with the relatives of his father. He travels in an empty red eye flight and meets the attendant Claire Colburn, who changes his view and perspective of life.
Claire is the character that coined the term “manic pixie dreamgirl.” I love her. This movie is so special. It’s criminally underrated and one of Cameron Crowe’s best. And being a Crowe film, the music is fantastic. There were two soundtracks, plus the score album. It’s not where I discovered the musician Ryan Adams, but where I fell in love with him.
I just put the movie on. I probably won’t do that with most of the films I’m reviewing (they’re not really reviews because they’re definitely my favorites), but this one is that special.
