5 Movie marathons for a cold winter day

If your copy of “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days” has seen its days and you’re desperately looking for a marathon that doesn’t include the real housewives from anywhere, grab some popcorn and cosmopolitans because you’re in for a seriously good time (from the comfort of your warm, cozy couch) if you pick any of the marathons listed below.

1. The Judd Apatow Saga: The ’80s had the brat pack but we’ve got the comedic crew of a lifetime led by fearlessly funny director Judd Apatow. Names like Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Jason Segal, Jonah Hill, and Steve Carrell cover the IMDb lists of Apatow’s movies, each one of them making us realize how sexy a how sense of humor really is.
Movie List: Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Pineapple Express and Forgetting Sarah Marshall

2. The Lindsay Lohan Pre-Rehab Marathon: If you need a reminder why everyone is so obsessed with the ins and outs of Lindsay Lohan’s stints at rehab, this marathon is just the fix. Sure, the past few years haven’t exactly been LiLo’s best and brightest, but she wasn’t always a bad girl. Time to grab your ankle bracelet because with a movie list like this, you won’t be leaving the house for a while.
Movie List: The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen


3. Classics That We Should All See Once, Just To Say You’ve Seen Them: Some things for us are just classic, like Ryan Reynolds shirtless and waking up next to the guy you asked all your friends to keep you away from (and reminding yourself not to do that again), but some classics are before our time. Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, are all names we know but have you actually seen their movies? If you’re in need of a classic movie rundown, you’re in luck. Oh, and if you think Ryan Reynolds is sexy, wait until you see a semi-shirtless Marlon Brandon cry out “Stellaaaaaa.”
Movie List: A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, Some Like It Hot and Breakfast At Tiffany’s

4. ’90s Teen Movies: If you’re missing your spaghetti strap tanks and your platform Sketchers, grab all your Beanie Babies and your old Bop magazines, sink into your inflatable chair and head down memory lane with these movies. If the wardrobe doesn’t bring you back to your early teen years, the plots of heartbreak and crushes sure will. Search your drugstore for a facial mask, grab your bestie and paint each other’s nails and make a sleepover out of it, just like freshman year of high school when you couldn’t party on Friday nights because you couldn’t drive.
Movie List: She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless and Spiceworld

5. Wintery Romantic Comedies: Because romantic comedies just seem more romantic when it’s cold outside. Call your friends and get out of going out tonight (tell them you’re sick, cough, cough,) so you can indulge in the guiltiest of movie marathons. Throw on a plush sweater and your Uggs, make some hot cocoa with extra marshmallows and keep a box of tissues near by (just in case) and follow the adventures of finding love in the coldest months with some of your best girlfriends, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Movie List: The Holiday, Love Actually, The Family Stone and Serendipity

4. Turn off the TV. TV seems to have a passive, hypnotic effect on people. This is a worry when you consider that much of it consists of violent crime shows, dumbed down sitcoms and brainwashing commercials. Plus think of everything you could do with all that free time if you stopped, or at least cut down on, watching TV.

5. Wake up early. Use the extra time from waking early to read inspirational books, review your goals and envision the life you want.


6. Get fit. Increased strength, mental clarity and self-confidence are just some of the benefits of improving your physical fitness. You will also live longer.


7. Tell a loved one how you feel about them. Why wait until it’s too late until you tell your loved ones how you feel about them?

8. Get married. It’s certainly not a necessity to be married in this day and age, but it is still a nice sign of commitment to eachother.

9. End a bad relationship. It can be extremely hard to feel stuck in a bad relationship. If you can’t see a future together, why not cut your losses and move on? It’s a cliché, but there really are plenty of fish in the sea.

13. Declutter your life. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by clutter, both physical and mental. Declutter your physical surroundings by going through your clothes and other possessions and see what you no longer need. Sell them on Ebay, or simply give them away. Mental clutter is things like unfinished projects, a crammed schedule or negative people who drain our energy. You can clear your mental clutter by listing everything that is troubling you and then crossing each one off as you deal with it.


14. Create a vision board. This is one of the most powerful ways to get the Law of Attraction to work for you. A vision board is basically a collage of pictures of the goals and dreams you want to attract in your life. Alex Shalman has written a good article on how to create a vision board using a practical approach.

23. Study. There are endless benefits to both formal and informal study. Some of these include: enhancing your career prospects, developing skills and subject knowledge, and personal growth and satisfaction.

24. Start a business. If you want to be a millionaire one day, you may want to consider how be self-employed. In The Millionaire Next Door the authors Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko write: Who is the prototypical American millionaire?… About two-thirds of us who are working are self-employed. Interestingly, self-employed people make up less than 20 per cent of workers in America but account for two-thirds of the millionaires.

25. Write out your short, medium, and long term goals. The act of writing down your goals make them far more likely to happen.

26. Be creative. We all possess the potential for creative expression. Many of us, however, do not believe we are creative or don’t know what outlet we should use to express our creativity. You do not have to paint a picture to be creative, rather everyday tasks such as cooking a meal, making a presentation at work or dressing yourself can be done in a creative manner. This is a good article on How to Be Creative from Gaping Void.

27. Ask for a pay raise. Many people feel they are underpaid for the work they do. But have they actually asked for a raise? If this is you, make sure you ask the right way. Follow the steps in this article for success.

28. Strike up a conversation with a stranger. Waiting for the bus, standing in a queue and traveling in a lift are all great examples of when you can strike up a conversation with a stranger. Why bother? Well, it’s a simple way to connect with another human being. And sometimes a stranger can change your life in a way you could have never imagined.

29. Get a makeover. When you look great, you feel great. Simple really.

30. Take a mini-retirement. Tim Ferris advocates freeing yourself from the daily grind by taking a “mini retirements”. Basically this entails traveling to one place for one to six months before going home or moving to another locale. You can find out more about this idea in his book The 4-Hour Workweek.

31. Invest. Investing your money is the best way to ensure you meet longer-term financial objectives, such as saving for retirement or your child’s education. Its fairly easy to start investing, and you can begin with as little as $1,000.

32. Learn to dance. It will help you meet new people, stay fit, overcome shyness and make you feel more comfortable in social situations.

33. Leave each person you come into contact with better than you found them. Even something as simple as a smile or a compliment can make someone else’s day.

34. Review your day each night before going to sleep. This is a great way to track whether or not you are living your life in accordance with your principles and goals. The habit was best advocated by the Benjamin Franklin.

35. Find your life purpose.

36. Learn a musical instrument. No I can’t play an instrument, but it’s high up on my list of things to do. I am told the benefits are that it teaches discipline, relieves stress, gives a sense of achievement, is fun and makes you look cool (well, some instruments…).

37. Be green. Recycling, going carbon neutral and using public transport are just a few examples of how we can make a difference to the environment. If you haven’t already seen it, watch Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth for inspiration.

38. Volunteer. Apart from making a difference in someone else’s life and/ or helping the environment, volunteering will improve your life by helping you to meet new people, develop new skills, build self-confidence and feel valued.

39. Don’t just be good, be great.

40. Write a personal mission statement. Think of a Personal Mission Statement as a solid expression of your vision and values. In his classic book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R. Covey writes: Writing or reviewing a mission statement changes you because it forces you to think through your priorities deeply, carefully, and to align your behaviour with your beliefs.

41. Develop multiple streams of passive income. Passive income is income that does not require your direct involvement. Familiar examples include income from a rental property and royalties from either an invention or creative work. This is a good article for those who wish to learn more. You may also like to consider that relying one a single source of income is risky.

42. Donate to charity. No matter how much financial trouble you are in, I can guarantee you there are people worse off than you. Donating to a good cause helps make the world a better place and will make you feel better about yourself. It’s a Win-Win outcome.

43. Do it now. What is it? This only something you will know. But here is a clue: it is what you keep putting off till tomorrow, or next week, or next year….

44. Become a good public speaker. Whether it is to make a speech at a wedding, or an important presentation in the workplace, the ability to capture the attention of your listeners is an invaluable skill. Toastmasters is a worldwide organisation dedicated to helping people develop this skill.

45. Forgive others for pain they may have caused you. No matter what someone has done to us in the past, if we cannot learn to forgive them then our anger, bitterness and despair will control our lives.

46. Be passionate. Having a passion for life will provide you with direction and focus, create energy, foster creativity, inspire action and heighten performance.

47. Remember a few good jokes. Everyone loves to laugh. Having a few good jokes up your sleeve can help break the ice when you meet new people.

48. Find a new job. Do you feel trapped in a boring, soul destroying job? It doesn’t have to be like that that.

49. Relax. As I have written about here, stress has the potential to damage our health and relationships. Some ways to relax are by going for a walk, curling up on the coach and reading a good book, having a warm bath, listening to chilled out music and getting a massage.

50. Spend less time on the computer. Don’t let the Internet take over your life. Spending too much time online can make you less productive, damage relationships and is not good for your health.

And with that, I’m done…. :) Good luck! :)
