Fave Babe Movies

The other night we saw the movie Juno. I have to say it was one of the best pregnancy movies I've ever seen! Of course, I might be slightly partial to such movies right now... But hey! It was really good.

I became inspired to make a list similar to my 'Fave Christmas Movies' post.

If you can think of some more, let me know!

1.) Knocked Up
We saw this at the beginning of last summer on our anniversary. Seemed innocent enough. It's just a movie, right? Little did I know I was *actually* pregnant at the time.... Ha ha, it's so easy to laugh at Katherine Heigl going through those labor pains! Until you realize someday that's going to be you. So due to the crazy timing of the movie and my love for all things Grey's Anatomy, this one ranks number 1.



2.) Juno
I know I just saw it so it's fresh in my mind, but this movie definitely struck a chord. The angst and awkwardness of high school, the great Indie soundtrack, the huge sigh of relief that I'm not a teenage mom. Yeah.






3.) She's Having a Baby
I think I need to watch this one again, because it might be really bad. (Ever watch 'Footloose' again after high school??) But I remember seeing it with my best friend and she cried all the way through it. Now I am not a crier at movies, but it had to have been moving for her to cry about it, right? Plus I remember talking about it a lot afterwards. Altho in my memory, the lead role was played by Molly Ringwald. I really need to watch this again.



4.) Fifteen and Pregnant (Lifetime TV movie)
Think bad after-school special with Kirsten Dunst thrown in and you've got this movie. I really thought it was something rarely witnessed by others since I happened to catch it on Lifetime TV on a random Friday night or something a few months ago, but I mentioned it to my friend and she was like, Oh yeah, I've seen that. So maybe it's better-known than I thought.. But it was good, in an after-school-special-y way, and again made me glad I wasn't a teenage mom.


.......................

And that's it! I honestly can't think of any others.... The only things that come to mind are Three Men and a Baby or that Arnold Schwarzneger one where he becomes pregnant which doesn't count and I haven't actually seen!
