As you can see by the ‘bio’ in my header I’m a bit movie obsessed. We try and get to the theater once a week. Usually we hit most of the blockbusters. This summer though I have a couple of movies on my “must see” list that you either may not have heard of or haven’t gotten the press that others receive.
1. The Fault in Our Stars – My Must See Love Story
Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them — and us – on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love.
In theaters this Friday June 6th, 2014.
Starring Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Willem Dafoe, Nat Wolff, Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, Mike Birbiglia, and Emily Peachey
Directed by Josh Boone
Screenplay by Scott Neustadter, based on the book by John Green
Produced by Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey
I’m fully prepared to carry a box of tissues in with me to The Fault in Our Stars and walk out with none left. But from the trailer and the reviews I’ve read, this is going to be an inspiring movie that is more than just entertainment but introspective as well.

2. How to Train Your Dragon 2 – My Must See Animated Movie
Five years after the first movie, when Hiccup and Toothless discover an ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace.
3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes – My Must See Action/Adventure Movie
Set 15 years after the events of 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will focus on a growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar (Andy Serkis), threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
4. Lucy – My Must See Thriller Movie
An action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
5. The Giver – My Must See Drama/Sci-Fi Movie
Based on an award winning book; at the age of sixteen, Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life.
Are you all over the map when it comes to movies? Do you enjoy watching a love story movie? Then you may want to go see a Fault in Our Stars. What’s on your must see list for the summer?
I can't wait to see all of them, especially #1 and #3!
I lost my dad and uncle to cancer, so when I see movies with that base line I always am a little leery. I am super sensitive to that, and cry easily, but I do want to see this movie and hopefully I won't cry that much! I loved her in Secret Life of the American Teenager, so nice to see a new role for her!
I really want to see this movie! It looks like it has it all, heart and a great story
I have to go see the Giver since I just speed read it at your house.
This movie sounds heartwarming and touching. I watch all kinds of different movies, it really just depends upon my mood.
Looks like it's going to be a tear jerker. I love those kinds of movies.
This is one movie that I look forward to seeing! I know it's going to be quite a tearjerker, though.
I just bought the book, so I am going to try and get it read before I go see the movie.
I have read the reviews and think that this is a very good movie to see. It is an inspiring love story! I love love stories where there are obstacles and it does not look like they will fall in love, but love wins. I have to see this movie.
The Fault in Our Stars is on my must see list too. Looks like a good one!
I hadn't considered the first one but now I will. And we definitely want to see How To Train Your Dragon 2! The others are not of interest to me.
This really looks like a great movie!
I've heard such good things about it. It's on my summer list for sure!
My 18 year old wants to see this, but I don't think I will be able to, I couldn't finish the book because it was so sad! Guardians of the Galaxy is my must see movie this summer, although the new Tom Cruise one Edge of Tomorrow sounds good too.
I love the fact that I recognize the background from The Fault in Our Stars having lived in the Netherlands for four years. This is not really my type of movie and I'd much rather see HTTYD2 🙂

I haven't seen The Fault in Our Stars. I'll have to check it out.
I've heard so much about this movie lately looks great.
