Ahh, what a classic movie that all of us know, enjoy, and love. I mean, this movie having a spot on the list is just obvious. I would argue that High School Musical 2 is the best of the iconic trilogy but that is a conversation that can be held for another day.With a plot described by the author and numerous critics as a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet,[2] High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival cliques. The protagonists are Troy Bolton, a basketball team captain, and Gabriella Montez, a shy transfer student excelling in math and science.[3] Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and this causes division among all the school’s students. Despite other students’ attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella aim to resist peer pressure and rivalry and wish to inspire others along the way not to “stick to the status quo.” With iconic songs like “Getcha Head In The Game” and “The Start of Something New” , you sure will be singing along during your next sleepover.

BRB, going to find someone to recreate all those scenes of WALL·E and Eva calling for each other in this heartwarming film about a trash compactor robot falling for a probe at a time when Earth is a literal pile of garbage.
Feeling like a total princess at your next party? Want to find a prince who can sweep you off your feet? Then look no further than watching this romantic movie. Set in New Orleans, the film tells the story of a hardworking waitress named Tiana who dreams of owning her own restaurant. After kissing a prince who has been turned into a frog by an evil voodoo sorcerer, Tiana becomes a frog herself and must find a way to turn back into a human before it is too late.

That, and the sweet, sweet story of what happens when a young woman turns into a frog after kissing a prince trapped inside a frog’s body. (You can thank the evil voodoo priestess for that one.)
Are you getting all up in your romantic feels now? I bet you are – so watch Aladdin if you are prepared to see the true definition of #relationshipgoals.
