Alright, let’s yak about some movies, you know, the kind that make you tap your feet and feel somethin’ in your heart, kinda like that Country Strong flick. Folks keep askin’ me, “Hey, what else is out there like that one?” Well, hold your horses, I’m gonna tell ya.
First off, there’s a whole bunch of ’em, they say near 80 movies kinda like Country Strong. Don’t ask me how they count ‘em all, probably some fancy computer stuff. But I reckon it’s true, seen a few myself that got that same feelin’. You know, the music, the drama, the whole shebang.
Now, some folks like them action-packed movies, like that 12 Strong one. Heard it’s about folks fightin’ and whatnot, not really my cup of tea, but if you like that kinda stuff, go for it. Me, I prefer somethin’ with a bit more heart, you know? Somethin’ that makes you think about life and love and all that jazz.
Then there’s this No Country for Old Men movie. Folks say it’s good, real good. But it’s kinda dark, you know? Not the singin’ and dancin’ type like Country Strong. They compare it to somethin’ called Fargo, which I ain’t never seen, but they say it’s similar. So, if you’re into that kinda gritty stuff, maybe give it a whirl.
But listen, if you want somethin’ that’ll make you smile, there’s plenty of those too. Like that Clueless movie, all about them teenagers and their fancy clothes. It ain’t country, mind you, but it’s got that same lighthearted feel, you know? Makes you remember what it was like bein’ young and carefree, even if you grew up on a farm like me, not in some big city with all them shops.
And speakin’ of movies that make you feel good, they say there’s hundreds of thousands of movies out there! Can you believe it? More movies than there are chickens in my coop, that’s for sure. But not all of ‘em are worth watchin’, let me tell ya. You gotta pick and choose, find the ones that speak to your soul.
- Some folks like that Truman Show, about a fella livin’ in a fake world. Sounds kinda strange to me, but hey, to each their own.
- Then there’s that 127 Hours, about a fella gettin’ stuck in a canyon. Lord have mercy, that sounds awful! I’d rather be listenin’ to some good ol’ country music any day.
- And that Million Dollar Baby, about a boxer. Now, that one’s got some heart, I hear. Folks say it’s about chasin’ your dreams, even when it’s hard. That’s somethin’ I can understand.
But if you want somethin’ like Country Strong, you gotta look for movies with music, with passion, with folks singin’ their hearts out. Movies like Forrest Gump, that tell a story and make you feel somethin’. Or Shawshank Redemption, about hope and never givin’ up. They ain’t exactly country, but they got that same spirit, you know?
And if you like them spy movies, like that James Bond fella or that Jason Bourne fella, well, that’s a whole different kettle of fish. They got action and adventure, but not much singin’ and dancin’. But hey, sometimes it’s good to mix things up a bit, right? Just like mixin’ up a good batch of biscuits, you gotta have the right ingredients.
So, there you have it, a whole mess of movies to choose from. Some are like Country Strong, some ain’t. But they all got somethin’ to offer, dependin’ on what you’re in the mood for. Just remember, life’s too short to watch bad movies. So find the ones that make you laugh, make you cry, make you feel alive. And if you can find one with a good country song in it, well, that’s just the icing on the cake.
And don’t you go worryin’ about where to find ‘em. These days, you can watch movies on your TV, your phone, your computer… Heck, they even got movies on them little iPads now. It’s a whole new world, I tell ya. But no matter how you watch ‘em, the important thing is to enjoy ‘em. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and let the stories take you away. That’s what movies are all about, ain’t it?
