Okay, so the other day I was in the mood for a good, emotional movie night. I remembered really liking “Charlie St. Cloud” back in the day, so I thought, “Why not find some movies that give off the same vibe?” Here’s how I went about it:
Started with the Basics
First, I brainstormed what I loved about “Charlie St. Cloud”. It’s got that supernatural element, a strong brotherly bond, a sweet romance, and of course, deals with grief and moving on. So, I jotted those down as my keywords.
Hit Up Google
My next move? Good old Google. I simply typed in things like “movies similar to Charlie St. Cloud” and “movies with ghosts and romance”. You know, keeping it simple. A bunch of lists and articles popped up, which was a good start.
Checked Out Movie Sites
I then headed over to some movie database * sites are awesome because you can often search by genre, theme, and even “similar movies”.
Dug a Little Deeper
- I looked at movie suggestions, I didn’t just take them at face value.
- I read some summaries.
- I watched a few trailers to get a feel for the movie’s atmosphere.
Made My List
After all that digging, I compiled my own list of movies that seemed promising. It was really about following my gut and finding movies that resonated with those core elements I loved from “Charlie St. Cloud”.
It really helps you find some hidden, or not hidden, movie gems.
