I’ve decided to limit this category to new releases, ie films I saw in the cinema in the last year, because I watch so many DVDs it’s hard to keep track of all the films I watch each year and plus I thought it’d be nice to include a new film. I don’t go to the cinema as often as I’d like to because it costs … Continue reading Day 17: The Best Movie you Saw During the Last Year
I’m a huge Iron Man fan, and not just because Robert Downey Jr is in it (although that’s partly why!) and I was gutted when I found out that it would be released midway through my 10 days in Italy. In Italy I watched over 20 films in 8 days so when I got back I was completely filmed out, but still I rushed to see Iron Man … Continue reading Day 16: The Last Movie you Saw in Theatres
“What am I thinking? I should’ve checked the floor for eggs!” Lethal Weapon (1987) Not sure why this quote came to mind, I like A LOT of film quotes and have a huge list of quotes I love. I’ve used a lot of films in this challenge that I have favourite quotes from already and I don’t want to use the same film twice so … Continue reading Day 14: Your Favourite Quote from Any Movie
I’ll start by saying I don’t hate this film, I chose it because I couldn’t think of one that I used to like and now hate. With [REC] it’s more a case of it’s a film I used to think was really good, and now I’ve watched it a few times I’ve noticed that it’s not quite so great when you know what’s going to happen. I watched … Continue reading Day 13: A Movie That You Used to Love but Now Hate
Obviously there are loads of films I could’ve chosen, I like a lot of animated films! A Goofy Movie comes to mind as a favourite simply because I used to watch it religiously as a kid with my brother. In fact we’d watch it most nights. Goofy is my favourite Disney character, even though he ignored me at Disneyland Paris in favour of younger and more … Continue reading Day 12: Your Favourite Animated Movie
Truth is, there are so many films I remember loving when I was a kid that it’s really hard to narrow it down to one! City Slickers is a comedy/western starring Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby. It was released in 1991 and I watched it religiously when I was about eight years old on VHS. I like the sequel, but not quite as much as the original film. … Continue reading Day 11: Your Favourite Movie From Your Childhood
I was reminded of this film earlier as I was writing a ‘top five most depressing films’ article for Planet Ivy, and I got sad again just thinking about it! I’ve only seen Kes once or twice and it was a few years ago, but it’s one of the saddest films I’ve ever seen. The misery is relentless with protagonist Billy being bullied in … Continue reading Day 08: A movie that makes you sad
Labyrinth is my childhood favourite. I used to pester my parents to watch it all the time, and at that point we had it on VHS recorded from the TV. I have since bought the DVD version (special edition of course 😉 ) and have seen it probably nigh on 20 times in my life. I know all the songs word for word, I even learned … Continue reading Day 07: A Movie that Makes You Happy
Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourite action/adventure films, but it’s really difficult to narrow it down to just one. I’m a huge Robert Downey Jr fan, and not just because he’s drop dead gorgeous (but obviously that plays a big part! 😛 ) Sherlock Holmes has a great atmosphere and is visually stunning. It’s very clever and is an interesting and fun take on the original stories. Guy … Continue reading Day 3: Your Favourite Action/Adventure Movie
I have so many favourite films, all for different reasons. But if I had to pick just one it would have to be Paddy Considine’s directorial debut Tyrannosaur. Not only are the performances completely outstanding, but it’s a beautiful, moving and heart-wrenching film. Everything about it is bleak and stunning. Such a great example of contemporary British drama. It’s by no means a fun film, it’s very sad … Continue reading Day 1: Your Favourite Movie
