Going for a film whose score was composed by Hans Zimmer seems far too obvious; we all know his soundtracks are some of the best, so I’m going to go for something a little less talked about. I’m not a music person, although I can appreciate a good soundtrack when I hear one, and Hanna stands out as the best that I’ve heard in a film because of the … Continue reading Day 28: Movie with the Best Soundtrack
I’ve had to bend the rules just a touch and go for a modern classic. Generally the term ‘classic’ in film tends to apply to films before the 70’s when Hollywood was first in full swing but shamefully I’ve not seen many of those. Perhaps I should! Anyway my favourite modern classic film would have to be The Shawshank Redemption. I watched this quite recently and fell in … Continue reading Day 27: Favourite Classic Movie
I watched Touching the Void for the first time when I was quite young, I don’t even know why I watched it…it just happened to be on TV. I’ve seen it several times since and it always has the same impact. Something about it scared, thrilled and intrigued me. It’s interesting, moving and pretty shocking. The people involved have an incredible story to tell and it’s really … Continue reading Day 24: Favourite Documentary
Jennifer Lawrence has become my favourite actress quite recently, and it’s largely due to her ‘funny moments’ videos on Youtube. She’s a brilliant actress for sure, but she’s my favourite because of how she is in real life. She’s so funny and so normal. She doesn’t care what people think of her, she’s humble and most importantly she’s real, which is something that a lot of … Continue reading Day 20: Your Favourite Actress
Well this is easy! Anyone that knows me generally knows about my love for Robert Downey Jr even if we’ve only just met! It usually pops up in conversation at some point. It’s not just because he’s drop dead gorgeous, but that does help. I have a collection of 23 of his DVDs, which is almost his whole cinematography and I’ve seen most of them more than … Continue reading Day 19: Your Favourite Actor
“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
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
Because I’m indecisive it’s a toss up between two! Tomas Alfredson Tomas Alfredson is responsible for two of the most stunning films I’ve seen in a while; Let the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. While neither of these films are particularly favourites of mine, I was completely mesmerised by the amazing atmosphere that they made; in Let the Right One In you can practically feel the … Continue reading Day 10: Your Favourite Director

It might be cheating, but hey at least I’m doing it. Bridesmaids is the only comedy film that made me laugh so hard I had tears streaming down my face. I was doubled over … Continue reading Day 06: Your Favourite Comedy Movie
