Movies of my Childhood: A is for A Walk to Remember.

Tweet

So. If you've been reading my posts for awhile, you know that I am very good at something. I am very very good at starting a series of posts, and then never finishing them. There are only two "series" that I have managed to keep up with long term. And surprisingly enough, I have kept up with them for YEARS. I started the "Frugal Shopping" and "Frugal Cooking",- although I have kind of transitioned the "Frugal Cooking" series into "A Year of Dinners" at the start of this year but that's beside the point- in 2016 or so. Anyway, I had an idea a couple minutes ago to do a series of movies, that I feel like had an impact or affected me as a teen and kid. So without further ado, here we go. I am a ninties baby. I was born in 1990, so I remember most of the 90's movies, fads, etc. So it should be no surprise that A Walk To Remember had an impact on me. If you are unfamiliar with this particular movie, it is probably one of the mushiest movies I will actually sit down and watch. I am not a girly movie type of person. It centers around a goody two shoes, preachers kids who is picked on for her conservative values, the way she dresses etc. She befriends the school bad boy, and tells him not to fall in love with her. He laughs it off, as all the bad boys do in these movies. Anyway, long story short he gets in some sort of trouble and has to do a play, in which little miss goody two shoes is also in. He falls in love with her. There's some other things, that I'd rather not tell you, because it ruins the movie. Mandy Moore and Shane West are the stars, which at that time they were pretty popular. It's based on a book written by Nicholas Sparks. I have read almost all of Sparks books, because they were set in North Carolina and I spent a lot of time in North Carolina when I was a kid. Maybe it's because I grew up going to church, or because I just liked the book because I knew where everything was because of where it took place. But I can remember watching this movie hundreds of times during my pre-teen and teen years. Have you ever seen A Walk to Remember? Or better yet, have you read the book?
