These are films that make you happy, make you think, make you laugh, smile, cry

They are films that i will always admire and relate to; there are a range of genres here from the light hearted to the dark and surreal, see all of these and it will open your mind.

When Harry Met Sally 1989,  R)
When Harry Met Sally
awww these two keep meeting up. first they hated each other, then they became friends and then they fell in love...

which is quite true for most people.



its a great story about a relationship between two people and the trouble that happens along the way.



Some "chick flicks" that are full of cheese and put on a pedastool. However Rob Reiner makes it simple and sweet and that relationships need work. but in the end it can be perffect,



this idea has been copied a few times but nothing can beat this.



billy crystal is so funny, sweet and makes a good role of this. and meg ryan plays her role great. these two have great chemistry and timing with one another. billy crystal is charming and hilarious in this, i mean you would'nt normally see him in a rom-com but thats the good thing its a suprise which works and he keeps it together, meg ryan has done her fair shair of rom-coms; however this comes out top for her. amazing characters and also the other supporting actors such as 'kirby' and 'fisher' keep it flowing.



To me it feels like your living it with them (sounds weird) but you can relate to the issues that romance is hard and "the sex part allways gets in the way of a man and woman being friends". its true, men and women cant be friends, one allways ends up liking the other.

its an incredible film to me for some reason.



Also the song 'it had to be you is lovely and fits well with the ending scene of the film'



i suppose people remember the famous cafe scene with meg ryan which is really funny.



i can watch this movie over and over again, which i think a film should be like.



its a real romance with thought and heartfelt emotion, it shows the truth about realtionships. its also good with all the other couples talking about how they met,it ties in well.



The whole film is of course all about love and finding 'that right person to spend the rest of your life with'



it really works. and its my favourite film ever. i wish i could give it a million stars because it deserves it. anyone would and should like this movie.

Singin' in the Rain 1952,  G)
Singin' in the Rain
this is such a lovely 'feel good' film and i always enjoy watching it.
if you're upset this ill cheer you up.

its all about how mgm went from silent movies to 'talkies'. its good how everything comes about, you see how movies are made behind the scenes and they make it into a spoof about hollwood.

it has some amazing songs in it which really flow with the scenes.

also the unforgetable singin in the rain scene is truly great, gene kelly was very talented.

a brilliant musical, full of humour, amazingly choreographed and filmed dance numbers, brilliant vocals from every cast member, a beautiful story, talented and charasmatic cast and moments to surely put a great big smile on your face and make you feel happy to be here and want to go singin in the rain yourself.

the three main stars are full of talent, debbie renoylds at such a tender age of 18 i think stood on her own next teh gene kelly. kelly always stays on teh beat, keeps you hooked with his charismatic looks and humour and works well with his friend donald o connor who is does the iconic make em laugh routine flipping all over the place and full of energy all the time.

the rest of the cast are great too such as jean hagen playing the screachinig voiced actress who causes the trouble.

the ending is also so predictable but beautiful and does the film just.

i cant find a fault in this film, it willl never age with such good songs and a nice plot to it.

everyone needs to see at least once in their life.

i'd give it a milion stars if i could, its one of the best films ever. a real classic, a musical for anyone to see, hollywood and mgm at their best.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
a perffect film and story from jrr tolkien.

the first of the trilogy of the special, exciting tale of frodo baggins and his eight companions to modoor in middle earth to destroy the one ring who can destroy them all.

anything i say wont do it justice, its a film taht must be seen before you die.

what category is it, action? adventure? drama? thriller? romance? comedy?. i think its got everything, so shouldnt dissapioint anyone.

with an amazing all star cast, no one dissapoits in bringing a performance of a life time, showing so much heart, drama and emotion, with some comedy and light hearted moments.

good actions sequences, brilliant set designs, with authenticity a key in the production. you believe the settings and the story to say its all fictionand fantasy.

the best directing and cinematography to have. worth watching.

Pride and Prejudice 2005,  PG)
Pride and Prejudice
this is a lovely adaptation of jane austen's novel. with a wonderful cast including keira knightley and mathew macfayden who are brilliant actors and make you believe it all. also the supporting actors such as brenda blethyn, donald sutherland, tom hollander and judi dench and many more are superb.

i also like the other stories going on around them, like mr bingley and jane which is reallyy sweet and romantic too.

i love this story about two people who are totally opposite and have everything in common and love each other through and through and are only happy when together. the director really shows their relationship grow in a great way.

i always felt that there was'nt enough romance in this but that was the 19th century, and now i think its perfect.

the setting is great too and really shows how the 1800's were like.

its a jam-packed story with false accusations, proposals, elopements, breaking up's, family problems and of course beautifull, truthfull, puppy love.
i think every woman wants her own darcy.

i do think its better than the 95 version, but thats my opinion.

an incredible heart-warming tale done so amazingly well.

its a tale that is seen in modern day times so people can really relate to the situation.

it is the greatest ever love story.

and it is for everyone, so worth seeing once in your life

Persuasion 2007,  Unrated)
Persuasion
Beautiful, charming and interesting period drama. its a simple but engaging and real story. The characters are portrayed perfectly to what i imagined, the cast fit well together. The plot follows the 27 year old Anne Elliot at a crucial time in her life, Sally Hawkins is a brilliant heroine and the story develops at a good pace. a beautiful story.
10
North & South 2005,  Unrated)
North & South
i wish i could give more than 5 stars.

adapted from elizabeth gaskells love story.

what a great mini series. its such a nice simple tale which shows the truth about the 19th century life in the mills.

its concentrated on a woman who has moved up north with her mother and father through having less money. lots happens in it making it interesting and worth while.

the cast are amazing and lovely to watch, you'll love every character especially thorton played by richard armitagewho is gorgeous, but also a great actor, good at drama.

its such a nice story with its upsetting moments of course but its an uplifting tale and very romantic i think.

its worth seeing.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York 1992,  PG)
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
this is a classic. about again that little kid being left on his own only this time new york is his new home for a while. its a great story, better than the first in my opinion, macaulay culkin was the best in the two home alones and can just really act. this film has it all, its a nice touching family film and has great humour and will always make me laugh,its really funny and has grest slapstick stunts in it.its a nice family film,anyone can watch it and i think its the best and always will be to me. worth watching if you have a sense of humour

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
the story continues, with the battle for hlms deep, more of teh human side now, and if their is courage in men.

frodo and sam are on their own and following gollum to the blak gate of modoor.

also apart from the fellowship are merry and pippin who making thier move and in the hands of treebeard.

now does that leave you ahnging, watch it to find out what happens.

again with great action sequences, some comedic moments to balance the darkness. aerial camera shots, beautiful settings and incredible acting and characters that keep you hooked to teh film.

again a great score, music to send shivers and make a impact.
15
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
its amazing. enough said

well, the acting for one last time leaves you in suspense, you feel for the characters. a full cast who all work to the highest standard to entertain us.

a special film, jackson won best director which was rightfully deserved at the oscras, and best picture, art director and many more.

the word epic comes to mind, all thorugh the movie. i was sat on the egde of my seat, interestingand dramatic and thrilling.
ticking all the boxes.

the battle for middle earth was amazing, minus triith was an actual model and cameras shot up close and then computerised the special effects, which worked brilliantly.

the special effects were amzing and made it A class.

a touching story with a finally beautiful and sadenning ending. frodo and sam friendship is great to see and is real.

i cired for the last ten minutes, it was sad to see the end of the quest.

me and my dad are huge fans of this trilogy. we both think that its one of the best trilogies we've seen.

its rare to see the sequels improve, and especially when they were great.

worth worth worth watching.

phew! . . . . . . i'm all praised out.

Clueless 1995,  PG-13)
Clueless
Alicia Silverstone is made for this role, a comtemporary take on Jane Austen's Emma. A supprisingly witty teen movie with a great supporting cast taht make it a joy to watch.
17
Dirty Dancing 1987,  PG-13)
Dirty Dancing
10/10 from me.

its starts with a girl 'frances/baby' going to a holiday camp with her family and getting to know the dance teacher 'johnny' very well and they fall in love, but as you know how these films go there's trouble and a few hic-up's along the way.

i love it and cheesy it may be its still in my opinion one of the best romance films ever. it has great main charcters which keep it entertaining. also the songs in it fit perfectly with the scenes especially the ending song which is lovely. everything just goes right. this was probably the first dance, romance kind of film (if you no what i mean). but no matter how hard people try it cant be beaten.

that one line of "nobody puts baby in the corner" shows that its a classic.

its also got some funny parts to balance out the drama and trouble. its a very uplifting film which is seen in the ending dance, lol. its so sweet and romantic and shows what true love is lol. i thought it would be boring but its interesting all the way through.

cheesy as it sounds but you do "have the time of your life" watching it. worth seeing by chick flick lovers for definate. loved it.

so whats not to like?

Captain Corelli's Mandolin 2001,  R)
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
A beautiful and charming film that looks at the suprising relationship between the Italian Captain Antonio Corelli and Pelagia.

There is amazing, truthful chemistry with the two characters. The lead actors Cage and Cruz are so encapsulating and make the film.
19
Bring It On 2000,  PG-13)
Bring It On
this is really funny and clever teen movie, it has a edge over other films as it has a likeable cast and sweet story and romance that develops.
20
Blade Runner 1982,  R)
Blade Runner
2019 and replicants made by the humans are fighting back, and retired blade runner Deckard (ford) is the best for the job. before its time, this sci-fi noir explains alot and covers deep issues, with a strong cast and a different story which has been used again and again.

i watched the directors cut without narration, and it does'nt make a difference. a very easy film to understand from my point of view; i've always admired sci-fi's and this is amazing.

the special effects are reasonably good, the script is brilliant and flows so well. the film was on a big stage; a real story infact about emotions, memories and the big question of technology becoming the enemy.

one of my favourite films, a fine example of cinematic genius.
21
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines 1965,  G)
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
this is a great 60's british film with a lot of famous faces and such a funny cast. everyone should enjoy it. its just laugh after laugh. nice story to it, dont know why i like it so much but i do. good film.
22
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) 1966,  R)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.)
This is a cult film with a mesmerising backdrop and the iconic dialogue along with the plot that begins off as a simple journey however more and more obstacles appear.

The score by Ennio Morricone is superb and captures the essence of the Wild West. The cast are enigmatic and Eli Wallach is brilliant as the ugly.

The last scene is magical through its cinematography and music which builds up to the perfecting ending to any film.

12 Angry Men (Twelve Angry Men) 1957,  Unrated)
12 Angry Men (Twelve Angry Men)
wow.



this is amazing, i did'nr think i would like a film like thhis but how its put together makes it really interesting.



ita about 12 men (of course) who are part of a jury deciding whether or not a young man killed his father. so much goes on and as 1 man brings up a piece of evidence, you yourself click and realise that he may be innocent. its very clever



the cast are all great and all very different so bounce off each other, they have all been in mant other great films, so yo will recognize a few. henry fonda is magnificent in this.



i also think the scrpt is great, its simple and just really flows.

everything about this film is top notch.



this movie has been described as the best ever courtroom drama and i think so too. truly great. worth a watch.

Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different 1971,  PG)
Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different
This is funny and I did not stop laughing. It is a mixture of their sketches; the characters are outrageous and make every scene memorable. I think the last scene with the twits is so surreal and perfect.
The genius and wit of the six pythons can be seen in the dead parrot, the funniest joke ever, and nudge nudge sketches to name but a few.
27
