Tuck Everlasting (2002): Spring

This is one of my favorite books, and I really like this film adaptation. This movie follows the Tucks, an immortal family that moves from town to town to hide the fact that they never age. When Jesse Tuck meets Winnie Foster, an upper class girl who is unhappy in her controlling home, the two begin to fall in love. When the family must escape the town, Jesse asks Winnie to make the difficult choice of also becoming immortal and coming with them, or staying where she is. This movie has some gorgeous scenes of nature and spring time. Plus Winnie’s lacy victorian dresses are beautiful and will make you ready for breezy spring air and pretty light clothes. I definitely recommend checking this film out to get in the mood for spring. To up the experience, open the windows on a warm day.

Emma (1996): Spring

Spring is sprung and it is a wonderful time to open up your windows and enjoy the fresh air. And while you are enjoying the chilly breezes of spring, might I suggest watching a film full of flowers and gardens and springy romance. Adapted from a Jane Austen novel and set in the 1800’s, this story follows Emma, a privileged young woman who takes joy in playing matchmaker with people she knows. Her efforts however are not always correct or appreciated. Meanwhile, Emma is curious about her personal feelings towards romance and relationships. This movie is set in the upper class of estates of the English and therefore has some gorgeous garden and flower scenes. The dresses are long and flowy and romantic. Everything about this film, from the setting to the blossoming romance evokes a feeling of springtime. I definitely recommend putting this on your watch list.
