Contrary to what all my legal documents say, I was born in 1994. My birthday was in December, so when I was adopted my mom changed it to January 1995. She did this to ensure I don’t have to go through the disrespect of someone asking me if my birthday and Christmas presents could be consolidated into one gift given at some shaky time in between the two. However, I wasn’t the only above average thing to come out of 1994. Right on the cusp of the mid 20th century, some of the greatest films were released out into the wild. The following five films hold a near, and dear place in my cold, dark heart. Not only did most of them mic drop all over the box office, but they also contributed to me becoming the person I am today…as cringy as that sounds. If you haven’t seen these films yet, or haven’t seen them in a while, I encourage avid binge watching of my list.
3. Angels in the Outfield
I’m not a huge lover of baseball, but I am a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. My love for this film goes deeper than that, though. Nobody’s a bigger sucker for an underdog orphan story than my mom (she adopted me from an orphanage). She loves Angels in the Outfield, because it’s the perfect family movie that can get her all up in her feelings. This is a favorite by association, as I don’t remember a ton of it.
