Surprised not to see any references to Bilbo Baggins' Red Book in the LOTR movies or the dusty diary Gandalf reads from in the Mines of Moria when they find Balin's tomb.... there's a spread in one of those old "The Making of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" books about the guy they hired to create those. Probably my most reread pages in that book!
Great submissions, y’all! I’m very late to this party, but here goes ... I’ve got 2 “notebook” shows: 1. Jarod’s red notebooks from “The Pretender” and 2. Young Indy’s journal from “Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.” Cheers!
Not from movies, but I love the notebooks in Naughty Dog games like Uncharted and The Last of Us. They're beautiful and they've inspired me a lot over the years!
Fight Club, Se7en, and the Last Crusade have all had an effect on me, that effect being the thrill of having your secret thoughts read and deciphered by someone else.
But for me the first book to make me fall in love with journaling is The Outsiders. The movie begins with a boy recollecting his thoughts at the beginning of the movie. And the movie begins from the pages of the pencil scrawling.
I always come back to this moment when my pencil touches paper.
I have been a notebook fan my whole life. I guess the grimier in Practical Magic would be my favorite. Kept and passed on for centuries. Here’s a weird thing: the other night I couldn’t sleep and had the lyrics to So Tired running through my head. The next morning I asked my husband who recorded it (The Kinks). Then today I look at your notebook from middle school and there are the lyrics. What are the chances?
"Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research." Discovery of Witches--she and her Vampire travel back to Shakespeare's time to find this magic book.
John Winchester's journal in Supernatural, a great leather bound journal with detailed information on monsters and how to hunt them... "Saving people, hunting things, the family business"
I am a bit surprised no one is mentioning the notebooks in journalism movies, especially ALL THE PRESIDENT’s MEN. They may have been legal pads, but they count in my book.
I love watching movies, music, art, crafts, books, food, travelling (some I can do a lot others not as much) however: I don't really keep a journal/diary myself...possibly a blog. I suppose there are different forms of journals and diaries. How about a sketchbook (with or without words on the page)like you do (A.K) or whomever reads this. As far as films: I love watching the main character write and/or sketch in a journal...my favorite: Indiana Jones (older or the Young Indiana Jones)...Love Indian Jones all of them. The journal is just there..it flows into the story perfectly...it is part of the Indiana Jones' character...it doesn't stick out..it just belongs.
I adore notebooks! And have been keeping my own since I was a kid. I'm not sure what got me started, but the Indiana Jones one was probably part of that.
On a different note, I went down to my local stationary store (a dangerous place) yesterday to get a new notebook and discovered that they now have a 'notebook club' -- It's a delightfully old-school thing where I get a stamp for each notebook I buy and when I have five stamps I'll get a free notebook.

Tom Riddle's evil diary in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!

Ex Libris Anonymous. Those are notebooks I love. https://bookjournals.com/
For the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood movie, I didn't like it as much as the book, but seeing the scrapbook was the best thing about it.
I also really like Val Kilmer's The Saint when he was pretending to be an artist and left his sketchbook as bait.

oops, I'll have to look up my favourite notebooks!
Harriet the Spy was my first notebook model, the Bruce Chatwin. I love the notebooks from
