There's something about watching Mandy Moore in this movie that puts you in a good space as she plays the gentle Jamie Sullivan, who will not let leukemia bring her down.

And if lots of the locations look like they're plucked right from "Dawson's Creek," it's because this Nicholas Sparks adaptation was shot in the same North Carolina location.

"Basic Instinct"

In the film a novelist (Stone) and a troubled police detective (Michael Douglas) play mind games with each other as a brutal murderer is on the loose.

"Easy A"

It's hard not to love every single thing about this movie. From the "Pocket Full of Sunshine" card to the perfect casting of Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as the parents — everything works.

But the main reason is because of the talents of Emma Stone in the lead as a girl who is going through a modern-day Hester Prynne crisis from "The Scarlet Letter" (on a high school level).

"The Gift"
