So here are my seven deadly sins in romance films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SLOTH: THE ONES I\u2019LL GET TO\u2026EVENTUALLY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many iconic and lesser-known movies that I keep telling myself I\u2019ll get around to watching, and then, I just don\u2019t. These include <em>Never Been Kissed<\/em> (I\u2019m just a little unsure about the premise of pretending to be a high schooler and ending up with the teacher\u2026), <em>Ghost<\/em>, and <em>Past Lives <\/em>(but I think I am finally going to watch this one soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GLUTTONY: THE ONES I CAN\u2019T STOP REWATCHING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the reason I still have such a long to-be-watched list is because I\u2019m a chronic rewatcher. If I sit down to watch a movie, it\u2019s probably <em>Penelope<\/em> or <em>Crazy, Stupid, Love<\/em>. I\u2019ve seen them more times than is justifiable and could quote several scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PRIDE: THE ONES I\u2019M PROUD TO HAVE SEEN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This category is tricky. What does&nbsp;it mean to be proud to have seen a romance film? I\u2019m going to say <em>Atonement<\/em>,<em> The Princess Bride<\/em>, and <em>Titanic<\/em> because I think they are really well-done films that I would recommend to anyone. And with <em>Titanic<\/em>, it\u2019s not an easy feat to sit down and watch a movie for three hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WRATH: THE ONES I ABSOLUTELY HATED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every romance movie is lovable. As much as I love Katherine Heigl, I thought <em>The Ugly Truth<\/em> was terrible and romanticized misogynistic nonsense. I never felt like it was funny; it just fell flat. I also wasn\u2019t a fan of <em>The Materialists<\/em>. I really didn\u2019t care who Dakota Johnson\u2019s character ended up with because I didn\u2019t see the chemistry between either pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LUST: THE ONES I WATCHED FOR THE AESTHETIC ALONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say you should never judge a book by its cover&#8230; but I do that for movies quite a bit. <em>500 Days of Summer<\/em> is a masterpiece, and I did watch it just because of the tagline on the cover. I also was drawn to <em>La La Land <\/em>because of the image of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling dancing on the cover. Thankfully, it turns out to be a fantastic movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GREED: THE ONES WHERE I WATCHED THE WHOLE FRANCHISE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the part where I confess to having a huge <em>Twilight<\/em> phase in middle school (Team Edward, of course). I have seen all the movies several times, and <em>Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 <\/em>is my favorite. <em>To All The Boys I&#8217;ve Loved Before<\/em> is another romance franchise that I have seen in its entirety, and in my opinion, those films are so cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ENVY: THE WORLDS I WISHED I LIVED IN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this one, I am going to say <em>Enchanted<\/em>  because how cool would it be to shift between a fairytale world and New York City?? Giselle is living the dream, seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FINAL CONFESSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If loving romance movies is wrong, I don&#8217;t want to be right. Even when they\u2019re predictable, messy, or completely unrealistic, they give us something rare: the chance to feel everything, all at once.
