1	The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert 1994, R) I WAS AMAZED AT THE PROFFESIONLISMN OF THE ACTORS THEY WERE SO BELIEVABLE I WAS CLIMBING THAT MOUNTAIN WITH THEM. I was laughing out loud when the scene was played in the desert as they practised their routine.
2	Heidi 1937, G) One of my favourite films a fun loving uncomplicated tale with a happy ending.
3	Jungle Book 1995, G) Loved it and still do a little boy much like Tarzan lost in the jungle and raised by wolves. Disney makes some of the most excellant films for children.
4	Lethal Weapon 1987, R) LOVED IT
5	Lethal Weapon 4 1998, R) LOVED IT
6	Lethal Weapon 3 1992, R) Loved all of the sequels
7	Lethal Weapon 2 1989, R) waiting for the next one
8	The King and I 1956, G) How do you rate a film that was as captivating as this. Yule was a brilliant actor and a man who would show a more gentler side without fear of condemnation.
9	Die Hard 1988, R) Brill a movie I have watched a few times
10	Die Hard 3: With a Vengeance 1995, R) Another sequel made with the same quality and panache as the pilot
11	Die Hard 2 (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) 1990, R) Again good Quality firm plot very good acting
12	Mommie Dearest 1981, PG) A film that makes you remember celebs are human and can be just as damaged as our neighbours. Mommy Dearest is a testament to this and I hope her daughter found peace. I think Christina released this story at the right time, although any abuser deserves to be punished no matter who they are

53	Clash of the Titans 1981, PG)
54	What's Love Got To Do With It? 1993, R)
55	Othello 1995, R) This film is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello. Othello has left his hometown "Venice" to fight against the Turks on the island of Cyprus. During the battle, he was accompanied by his faithful lieutenant, Cassio. As the film opens, Othello is returning to Venice from the long fight against the Turks. With much excitement, he meets with his love, Desdemona. Iago, Othello's trusted companion, envies Othello's life and plans to ruin it by manipulating Othello into believing that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio and is pregnant with Cassio's child. He arouses Othello's suspicion and jealousy gradually, and then plants Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's clothing for Othello to find. When he does, he is convinced of Desdemona's infidelity and, in a rage, decides to kill both her and Cassio.
56	Rebecca 1940, Unrated) I CAN WATCH THIS TWICE WEEKLY AND NEVER GET FED UP, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT THIS FILM BUT AM TOTALLY DRAWN. Its a classic Hitchcock gothic thriller and a compelling mystery (and haunting ghost story) about a tortured romance.
57	Room at the Top 1959, Unrated) Acclaimed as the first British film to treat sex seriously - i.e. to show it as enjoyable rather than sinful - and as one of the first to show the North of England as it 'really was'. In retrospect, this adaptation of John Braine's Bradford-set novel, with its moral melodramatics as Laurence Harvey cheats his way to success (a good marriage) via the death of his 'true love' and the bed of his mistress (Signoret), may not stand the test of time. But it remains intriguing as a sort of Brief Encounter, '50s-style. PH
58	Flowers in the Attic 1987, PG-13) TRUE STORY THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. TO MANY LITTLE PEOPLE STILL SUFFERING THIS ABUSE
59	The Silence of the Lambs 1991, R) Anthony Hopkins a great actor and his co-star Jody Foster acted out these roles with such professionalism I was genuinely afraid. I would have loved to have produced a character as Hannibal Lecture, the psychology of his thinking a wonderful piece of entertainingly good.
60	Misery 1990, R) I would love to meet the actress Kathy Bates this film had such an easy plot but her acting allowed it to be taken that step further. Not many films would be this succeesful wth two charactors manipulating most of the scenes.

90	Platoon 1986, R) An unforgettable cenotaph to every soldier lost in Vietnam, harrowing drama chronicles Vietnam frontline combat seen through the eyes of grunt (Charlie Sheen) based on events witnessed by its creator (Oliver Stone). Tom Berenger, William Dafoe, Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker are fine support actors.
91	The Hitcher 1986, R) While driving through the desert two college students pick up a hitchhiker with deadly plans in store.

A film that will leave an impression on you and make you think twice when you see the thumb of a person raised waiting to be picked up.
92	The Hitcher 2 - I've Been Waiting 2003, R) The young man who survived the fist hitcher is now a police office who still bares the scars from the past.....He hits the highway with his girlfriend only to be confronted by the same scenario I did not want to see the second hitcher film for fear it would not stand up to its pilot. I was right.

145	The Queen 2006, PG-13) Helen Mirran did a spectacular job in bringing the queen to our screens; Michael Sheen - James Cromwell - Sylvia Syms excellently portrayed the characters they played. There were times I was totally lost in the scenes she played and had to remind my self it was actually not H R H. It was a glimpse into the house of Windsor and the reaction Diana?s death had upon the establishment that rocked its foundations like no other before. I believe the film was a good media surge for H.R.H and to allow the public to see what the royals wanted them too. It threw the queen in a better light and gave the public more understanding. Dianas death coincided with the new Prime Minister, Tony Blair, portrayed excellently, and believable by Michael Sheen. This film is about a moment in history that had phenomenal results when England lost its rose. I am not sure that the publics view of the royals will change after watching this film, and believe personally it was used as a media scrum to help change attitudes of the house of Windsor. Directed by Stephen Frears, who also directed Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity and Dirty Pretty Things, a film worthy to watch if only to gather an insight how the other half lives, and watch Dame Mirran at her best- as she always is??
