Chocolate Movie Tag

I'm trying something new here. I've gotten tagged for all these neat blog tags floating around, and one of them gave me an idea. I was tagged for the Chocolate Book Tag, and I thought it would be fun to do a Chocolate Movie Tag. I'm answering mine with movies I own.

Dark Chocolate (a movie that covers a dark topic):
Hotel Rwanda (2004) (AKA why I liked Don Cheadle before he was Iron Patriot)

This is a sad, but hopeful story about the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and Paul Rusesabagina's efforts to stop the killings. Parts of it are scary, but nothing is gory or overly suggestive. It reminds me of Schindler's List: there's so much hate going around, but one man does everything he can to save as many people as he can.

White Chocolate (a light and humorous watch):
Mirror Mirror (2012) A hilarious retelling of Snow White, with the goofiest Evil Queen I've ever seen.

 Credit

Snow is perfectly innocent and charming, but smart and brave. And the dwarves have some of the best lines: "Love is someone passing me the potatoes." "Do you think she's enjoying this? Yes, I think she is. Darn." The prince is wonderful and adorable, and Sean Bean is the perfect as the King.

Caramel-filled chocolate (a movie that makes you feel all gooey inside):
This is the perfect description of Austenland (2013).

Every Austenite needs to watch this movie. It's about Jane Hayes, who is 30, single, and unhealthily obsessed with all things Austen (but mostly Mr. Darcy). So she goes to the ultimate Jane Austen resort in England. And deals with her Austen fetish. And gets a lovely British man, aka JJ Feild, aka MR TILNEY!!, in the end. His whole profession of love makes my heart fall out of my chest EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 

 
Milk Chocolate (a movie with a lot of hype that you're dying to watch):
Well, I read The Book Thief (2013), but I haven't seen the movie yet. I loved the book, so I figure I'll like the movie too.

Wafer-less Kit-Kat (a movie that surprised you):
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

I loathe Kristen Stewart, so I avoided this one for two years, even though I love Chris Hemsworth. But we found it at a pawn shop for $2, and I was curious, so we tried it. Wow. I liked it so much that I watched it twice in one week, which is rare for me. Kristen seriously lacks in the business of facial expressions, but if you ignore her, the rest of the movie is great. The plot line is pretty great, the design is grand, the villain is a little empathetic (but still oh-so-evil), the dwarves are funny and sad at the same time, and then there's the Huntsman. Oh, my. Brooding, rough, angry, sad, prickly, feeling, generally in need of a hug......reminds me again why Chrems Hisworth is my current favorite male actor.

 "I wasn't worth saving, that's for sure. She did so anyway. And I loved her so much. I loved her more than anyone or anything. Then I let her out of my sight and she was gone. And I became myself again. A self I never cared for."

(On a barely related note, do you know how fun it is to own a copy of Snow White and the Huntsman? You can say mildly inappropriate things like "Sorry I'm late; Chris Hemsworth was stuck under my passenger seat." Or "Will it bother your driving if Chris Hemsworth sits in the center console?")

Snickers (a movie you're going nuts about):
(Well, I haven't stopped talking about Avengers: Age of Ultron for the last 3 weeks, but I don't own that because it isn't out yet. BOO.)

This one's complicated. Winter Soldier and Days of Future Past were AH-MAZING, but I don't own those. Yet. ;-) The movie that I go nuts over would be Thor: The Dark World, because it's the only Thor I own.

See, he has a special place on the dresser next to the brain sister.

Unfortunately, it wasn't as mind-blowing as those other two, but that isn't Hemsworth's fault, it's the director's. It is the most beautiful Thor movie, though, and I think it Thor, Loki, and Jane show some good character development in it.

(Ah, yes, darling, but you would make a good man AND a great king.)

Hot Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows (a movie you turn to for comfort):
Pride & Prejudice (2005) Definitely comfort viewing. 

I literally carry my copy around everywhere in my craft bag, so I always have it if I get the urge to watch it. I love how Austen romances are founded on discussions and character, and not touchings and feelings. And while '05 does leave out some good Lizzie/Darcy word-battles, I get the idea. And every one of my friends own this movie, and we all love it. And Matthew MacFadyen is adorable. And it isn't 6 hours. And the music is so calming. (I go to sleep with it.) Comfort viewing. 

A Box of Chocolates (a franchise you feel has something for everyone):
I was gonna say the MCU, but then I remembered a family favorite. Ma and Pa Kettle (1947-1957)

 
This was a series of 10 movies about a well-meaning backwoods couple with 15 children. The characters were introduced in The Egg and I, and became popular enough to merit their own series. They are just clean simple fun. I grew up watching them, and Pa and Ma's lines are standard parts of family discussions. (It's most funny because my grandpa is a dead ringer for Percy Kilbride, but my grandpa is anything but lazy.)

 
So, what say we discuss movies? I'll start by tagging just four people:

Hamlette at Hamlette's Soliloquy
Hannah at The Daisy Tree
Rose at The Best of Classics
Kara at Flowers of a Quiet Happiness
