Nora Ephron Day
I am a sucker for a good rom com, and Nora Ephron wrote some of the best! On a snow day a few years ago, I stayed in with my husband and watched this exact lineup of movies. Therefore, I can personally attest to the mood-boosting joys of a Nora Ephronathon!
This film festival is meant to help you bask in all kinds of warm and fuzzy feelings. Though they’re awash in 80’s and 90’s looks, these movies still manage to give me butterflies today.
It doesn’t get any better than Ephron’s three most iconic movies: When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail.
Ways to make your at-home film festival extra festive include practicing peeling an apple in one long strip and starting up an email pen-pal relationship with someone you care about.
There are seemingly endless options for these kinds of at-home film festivals! You could do Alfred Hitchcock day, since we all relate to Rear Window right now. If you want to spend some time feeling your feelings, maybe set aside a day of technicolor melancholy with Wes Anderson movies? Or how about picking a series like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or maybe even The Fast and the Furious and seeing it through over a day or two?
No matter what, I hope you find pop-culture ways to have fun with your movies as a way to break up the stay-at-home stress!
