I am not a party girl. I'm the kind of girl who loves spending her nights in her pyjamas, watching a movie or a TV series, reading a book, or like the old people, doing crosswords. That being said, I love watching movies involving parties because often the weirdest and/or most interesting things happen. Without further ado, here are my picks for this week's Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves.
The Apartment (1960)
Bud Baxter (Jack Lemmon) is an insurance clerk who has discovered a quick way to rise in his company: let his superiors use his apartment to take their mistresses. At some point, they host quite a wild Christmas party at the office. It's such a charming film and Lemmon brings to life a character you can emphasize with and root for.
Eagle vs Shark (2007)
Lily (Loren Horsley), a sweet but social awkward fast food worker, has a major crush on Jarrod (Jemaine Clement), an arrogant geek. She finally gets the chance to spend time with him when he kind of invites her to a "dress as your favourite animal" party. This is Taika Waititi's directorial debut and it's as charming and quirky as Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
This Is the End (2013)
Jay Baruchel is in LA to have some fun with his friend Seth Rogen who invites him at James Franco's housewarming party. All of the sudden, the apocalypse begins. It's one of the most stupid comedies I've ever seen, but it's one of the few stupid comedies that actually work. If you haven't already, please watch it.
