17 Again
via ignitetheliight.tumblr.comAn adult who doesn't want to adult anymore finds himself transformed into a "pubescent!" version of himself and is given the chance to make things right and change his perspective in life. This was one of Zac Efron's first movies after the High School Musical series ended, and we'd watch it again and again just for the leather jacket scene! So. Cute.

Just My Luck
Remember the good ol' days when Lindsay Lohan churned out rom-com after rom-com? This is one of our favorites: the luckiest girl in the world crosses paths with the unluckiest guy ever; sparks fly, luck bounces, fate intervenes. Bonus: Chris Pine co-stars with Lindsay!

Monte Carlo
This is the perfect escapist movie for girls' night in: Selena Gomez plays a high school graduate mistaken for a pop star and whisked off to Monte Carlo for the adventure of a lifetime with her besties played by Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy. Friendly reminder that Cory Monteith was also in this movie. </3

Scooby-Doo
If you're in the mood for some old school scares and the grooviest ghostbusters, this live-action adaptation of our childhood favorite is just the thing.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Before Shiloh, Vivienne, Pax, Knox, Zahara, and Maddox, and even before Brangelina became a thing, there was Brad and Angelina. In this movie, they play assassins who are married to each other but aren't aware of the other's secret profession. This is where Brad and Angelina fell in love, so all those sparks flying? Probably 100% real!

He's Just Not That Into You
via passionisbeauty.tumblr.comSix brutally honest words turned into an ensemble rom-com that's still one of our favorites until now. We may want to be the exception to the rule like Gigi, but take to heart her wise words: "Maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment, you never ever gave up hope."
