Best Movies for Spring

The air warms, the days get longer, the sky gets bluer, and the sun gets brighter. I love spring! I've put together a list of movies that are perfect for that time of year.


5. Alice In Wonderland (2010)
Lewis Carroll's wickedly imaginative novel gets the modern Tim Burton spin. Critics are a bit split over this one, but I have found Alice in Wonderland to be a fun, richly creative, and visually beautiful take on the book. It ain't Gone With the Wind, but it's a wonderful spring time movie with enough visual power and story interest to get multiple views.

Also, Disney is blessing the world with a sequel, Alice In Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass.  It's coming out in May 2016.

4. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Wes Anderson paints is cinematic worlds with bold colors and fun characters. Grand Budapest is a great spring movie for it's palette of gorgeous colors, humorous levity, quirky story, and memorable characters played by a stellar cast.

3. Mary Poppins (1964)
A movie featuring dancing cartoon birds, gorgeous painted landscapes, and upbeat singing and dancing numbers (one that is pretty much about spring cleaning) is destined to make this list. The ending number "Let's Go Fly a Kite" is practically a springtime anthem of hope and renewal.

2. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)
The 100 Acre Wood is a celebration of the beautiful life of spring. Eyore, Winnie, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Tigger, and the rest of the gang go on many wonderful springtime adventures that will have you ready to go on a picnic and smell the flowers.

1. Up (2009)
With its outdoor adventures and colorful canvas, Up is a gorgeous movie. It seems like the perfect movie to start spring.

    1. Awesome! I also love Mary Poppins. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a bit odd, but I like it because of the colorful sets and costumes. The setting of it is more in the winter time, but the colors and energy of the movie make me think of spring. :)
