Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where each Thursday you have to pick three films to match the week's topic.
So this week's topic is movies related to stores, supermarkets and malls. At first I wanted to pick one for each category, but then I was like "nah, I'm going with these three", so here they are:
Notting Hill (1999)
This romantic comedy follows William, an unsuccessful Notting Hill bookstore owner, whose life changes completely when he meets the world's most beautiful and famous actress. I know, another rom-com in my picks, and it isn't even that great but it has British charm and humour and that is enough to win me over.
Bad Santa (2003)
Two conmen posing as Santa and his Little Helper to rob department stores on Christmas Eve? That's exactly what this dark comedy is about. Pretty much. It is incredibly funny, crude, rude yet touching and one of my favourite Christmas movies ever. And did I mention it stars Billy Bob Thornton?
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)
When Andy's colleagues find out that he is 40 and still a virgin, his life becomes a series of attempts to get laid, but along the way he meets a nice mom and they fall in love. This is not a rom-com, okay? Sure, it is a hilarious comedy and there also happens to be some romance, but that doesn't make of it a rom-com. Oh, Andy works in a store, that's how this is related to the topic.
