It perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of what summer always feels like it’s going to be, but somehow never is, in the depths of winter. Even if you hate musicals, it’s a must watch just for how feel-good it is. Especially if you are a woman, the mother and daughter storyline is just the right amount of heart-tugging to bring depth to the sunlit, giddy, and earworm-inducing songs and scenes of the film. I love a profound, intellectual movie as much as the next person, but when the world feels too serious (as it often does), it’s time to pop on Mamma Mia.

i grew up watching movies like singing in the rain, top hat, west side story with my dad - i remember every morning he would wake me up with the "good morning, good morning" song from singing in the rain - i genuinely value those experiences together so much

Ever since I was like 8 I have been obsessed with the movie Xanadu. It’s campy, it’s fun, it has Oliva Newton John, Gene Kelly and ELO. The sound track is no joke one of my favorite albums ever and I have probably listened to it hundreds of times at this point in my life. It’s not a particularly great movie but I think it’s a good testament that sometimes things just speak to you not because of their objective goodness but because of your ability to see the beauty in it.

it was actually the first track from the album i ever listened to (it was playing on the radio). i got chills and immediately went to listen to the full album. an absolutely unbeatable closing track.
