40 Nostalgic Movies and TV Shows to watch

March 24, 2021      25 Comments

I don’t know about you guys but one of my favourite things to do in my free time is to watch programmes from yesteryear. Life can be super stressful at times so watching movies from our childhood can be so comforting and bring back some wonderful nostalgic memories.

Growing up, I watched a variety of movies and tv shows. A mix of action, tearjerkers and comedies. Many of them are still my favourites to this very day. So let’s open up the popcorn, bring out the snacks and enjoy some throwbacks!

Check out my 40 nostalgic movies and tv shows to watch to bring back some feel good, old school vibes!

40 Nostalgic Movies and TV Shows to watch

20 TV Shows

Courage the Cowardly Dog (1996-2002) This programme was really scary when I was a kid but I love it now! It sure has creepy vibes! It’s about a dog called Courage, abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel who lives in the middle of nowhere with her husband Eustace…If you know, you know haha! Weird things always happen to Courage and he has to save the day!

The Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005) I absolutely loved this programme, it was one of my favourites; especially that evil character, HIM! Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup have to save the town from evil villains.

Recess ( 1997-2001) The theme song to this was brilliant, always made me and my sister watch!

Spongebob Squarepants ( 1999-Present) I have loved this programme since forever! As I have got older I think I am more like Squidward LOL!

Dexters Laboratory (1995-2003) Another classic! I really enjoyed watching this and would rewatch this again with my kids. It’s about a boy who has a lab, his sister Dee Dee usually destroys his experiments.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996-2003) What can I say to do this programme justice? I love it so much that I called my cat Salem.

Keenan & Kel (1996-2000) This programme is just full of laughs, worth the watch.

Dragonball Z ( 1996-2003) Another one of my sister and myself favourites! My parents weren’t too pleased though aha, they thought it had too much fighting. A classic!

Gladiators (1992-2000) I loved the American adaption of Gladiators, when I was younger I wanted to grow up to be a Gladiator.

Blind Date (1985-2003) I wish they would bring this back, it was brilliant. Cilla Black was the perfect host.

Continued…

The Crystal Maze (1990-2020) The original series was by far my favourite, it had so much character. Its a game show where contestants when in as a group to do tasks to get time in the crystal maze for prizes.

Keeping up Appearances (1990-1995) I have been in tears of laughter many times watching this! Hyacinth Bucket is a character for sure!

Art Attack (1990-2007) An art show which I always wanted to follow along with but never had the supplies lol!

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990-1996) A show that needs no introduction, legendary!

Ricki Lake (1993-2004) I really enjoyed watching this show, it had a vast amount of subjects.

The Vicar of Dibley (1994-2007) I recently rewatched this during Ramadan last year, wonderful watch.

Mr Bean (1990-1995) A man of few words but so many laughs! I could watch Mr Bean every so often.

Drake & Josh (2004-2007) They are step brothers with opposite personality, learning to live under one roof while at the same

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) I have always loved Vampire themed programmes/films, this gave me chills watching before but love to watch now.

Unsolved Mysteries ( 1987-2010) Before all the documentaries they were ‘Unsolved mysteries. This programme was a programme I watched with my mum.

Top 20 Nostalgic Films

Harry Potter film series (2001-2011) I am sure we have all seen the Harry Potter movies but if not I recommend them. I grew up watching these movies so makes it great to look back onto.

Pirates of the Caribbean film Series (2003-2017) These were my favourite films when I was a teen, Jack Sparrow and Will Turner were epic in these films.

Edward Scissorhands ( 1990) I watch this film every Christmas, it brings happy tears to my eyes. It a man created and he’s left unfinished with scissors as hands when his creator unexpectedly dies.

Happy Gilmore (1996) Happy learns his gran is going to lose her house so he ends up entering a golf tournament. The thing is he wanted to be a hockey player…

The Bodyguard ( 1992) Rachel is a singer/actor and she gets death threats from an obsessive stalker, she hires a bodyguard and falls for him. Love this film, Whitney Houston played the part perfectly.

The Mummy and The Mummy Returns (1999-2001) I am a huge fan of ancient Egypt so these films have been watched many times! i know its not historically correct but still, its wonderful.

Blade series ( 1998-2004) I love these so much that I have them on DVD. Blade is half human and half vampire, who hunts vampires.

Jurassic Park series (1993-2001) Based on the book, this science fiction film series is a must for anyone wanting nostalgia.

Men in Black ( 1997) K & J, (the men in black) are agents fighting against intergalactic events. Everyone thinks the song is catchy right? ‘Here come the men in black…the galaxy defenders, na na naa…’

Of Mice and Men ( 1992) I am not the only one who learnt about this book/film in English class right? It made me cry that’s for sure.

Continued…

The Mask (1994) Stanley has a simple life as a bank employee till he finds a mask created by Loki(God of Mischief). When he wears the mask becomes an eccentric/fun and somewhat powerful character.

Interview with the vampire (1994) I first watched this in my teens, it has so many amazing actors in it, which reminds me, I need to rewatch this.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) Ichabod Crane is a police detective called to a village to find out whos behind a series of murders. He soon finds out its a headless horseman with a curse.

The Addams Family Series ( 1991) A supernatural black comedy film created by cartoonist Charles Addams. This gothic family is different from many but very family-based. I love the relationship between Gomez and Morticia.

Hook (1991) Peter Pan (Robin Williams) has grown up but needs to return to Neverland to save his children from the dastardly captain hook.

The Witches (1990) A film il never tire from! This is based on Roald Dahl’s novel. A boy uncovers a witches convention and tries to stop them but gets turned into a mouse. He has to stop them from turning all kids into mice.

Death Becomes Her ( 1992) A writer and an actress have hated each other for years. They want the same man and it leads to them taking a miracle cure to stop the ageing process, thing is that it has effects, oh dear!

10 Things I Hate About You ( 1999) If you haven’t seen this then I recommend it!

Beyond the mat (2000) a documentary film worth watching if you are an old school wrestling fan like me.

The Truman Show (1998) I love this film, it has to be my favourite of all time. Truman is an insurance salesman when he slowly discovers people around him are actors and he’s in a tv show. 100% recommend.

What are your thoughts?

I hope you enjoyed my top 40 picks! They are many I have missed I am sure but let’s be honest, looking back they have been some brilliant films and programmes!

Comment down below and tell me your favourite nostalgic movies/tv programmes

until next time

Is it worth trying Thrive CBD Oil?

January 17, 2021      14 Comments

thrive cbd oil review

I was kindly sent this Thrive CBD Oil to try and review.

I have anxiety which I manage so much better with CBD Oil. So I was happy to give this Thrive CBD oil a try. ‘Thrive’ was born out of making more out of self-care. More than just bath bombs and face masks, trying to make a healthier and happier you!

Thrive CBD Oil comes in a matte purple bottle with a drop applicator. They come in two flavours; Peppermint (which I chose) and Blood Orange. Thrive is cruelty-free and vegan friendly. Yay!

This year has defiantly been one of those years that we mostly want to forget about with the number of lockdowns, missing family/friends and just stress of it all. ! I have always loved watching Netflix but this year takes the biscuit on how many hours I have watched since March.

I can’t complain though as I have watched some of my favourites and also discovered programmes I normally wouldn’t watch.

June Rewind | 2020

July 6, 2020      4 Comments

This is the first post like this I have ever done on my blog but I have decided to have a little bit of a change to add a little more dimension to my blog. These monthly rewind posts will have a mixture of subjects including fashion, what I’ve been watching and blog posts during the month.
Lockdown is on day 10290…. well it might as well be because I have lost count on how many days now. June was a super fast month for us all which is funny because jump back to April it seemed to last forever. Lockdown is taking some adjusting too but we are doing our best for sure.

🌎Happy Earth Day🌍 Such a lovely sunny day, l 🌎Happy Earth Day🌍
Such a lovely sunny day, love it when it's bright and warm. I'm making the most of it as you can see. Anyways it's Earth days 51st anniversary and their focus is ‘Restore Our Earth’
Simple changes 
🌱Reduce, Recycle and reuse. I like using old coffee jars for spices. I also like to use a food waste bin so it can be turned into compost.
🌱Choose sustainable options when you can. One for me is using reusable bags shopping and bamboo fruit and vegetable bags. 
🌱Use long-lasting bulbs. I like using dim eco bulbs as for me it's more relaxing at night. 
🌱Reduce food waste - planning can help save food. I like to freeze food if I cant use it before the use-by date. 

How are you celebrating? 🌱

I've heard of probiotics in food but its the first I've heard of probiotics in food but its the first I've seen it in skincare ( I'm aware I might be late to the party with this 😂) 

(gifted) This is the new @antipodesskincare Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream 🌱
The cream is made with good bacteria and hyaluronic acid for calm, hydrated, healthy-looking skin. It smells gorgeous and feels very refreshing on the skin. I've used it for a few weeks now and I love applying it before bed as it feels cool to apply and over time helps skin feel hydrated. 
It's 100% natural origin and vegan friendly 🌱
Have you tried this yet?
