Alison Sudol, who does her music-making under the name A Fine Frenzy, doesn't have a lot of rainy days to herself. That's a by-product of both living in perpetually sunny Los Angeles and being a perpetually busy singer, songwriter and pianist who last year released her debut album, 'One Cell in the Sea.' However, when one of those rare wet Southern California days does occur, Sudol says that "there's nothing quite as cozy as a blanket-wrapped, couch-bound movie-watching marathon. If I were to be a total bum and watch an entire day of films, these would be my selections":
1. 'Sabrina': Audrey Hepburn is as elegant as can be, Humphrey Bogart is gruff and wonderful, the story is heart-burstingly lovely, and I can't help but smile every time I watch it.
2. 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest': I haven't seen this in a while, but I'd like to watch it again with fresh eyes. From what I remember, it's shocking, funny and horribly sad. It will probably take the next three movies to cheer me up, but it's worth it.
3. 'The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou': Wes Anderson is brilliant. This movie changed the way I see the world. I never get sick of it, and I've seen it many many times.
4. 'Stranger Than Fiction': This film has a brilliant plot, gorgeous art direction, fantastic acting and a perfect combination of comedy and tragedy.
5. 'Notting Hill': I like romantic comedies. This one is perfect. I know I'm girly -- so what?
