Favourite Films!

Evening everyone! Two posts in one day, aren't you all lucky? My life-y post this week is about my favourite films. Now, while some of these are genuine favourites, my favourite films and books seem to change on an almost daily basis, so don't quote me on these is a couple of months time. However they are all wonderful films, and you should definitely watch them all!

The Hangover

 Genuinely one of the funniest films ever, if you’ve never seen it and claim to have any kind of interest in comedy films then you have to watch it. It’s completely ridiculous and far fetched but equally amusing despite that. Alan is the funniest character I think I’ve ever come across. Also, Bradley Cooper, HELLO.

Tangled

My absolute favourite movie of all time,* I’ve always liked Disney but I never had a specific favourite until Tangled. The songs are brilliant, ‘I See The Light’ is  beautiful, it’s a really wonderful adaption of Rapunzel that feels very modern even though it could easily take place in the 1600’s. I also have a bit of a thing for Eugene Fitzherbert/Flynn Rider, who has to be the most attractive animated character, ever.

*Apart from number 3

Harry Potter 

I’m not even going to bother going into any detail here, it seems that this goddamn series comes up in every list I do these days. Favourite series ever.

Die Hard

This was the film that spurred my love for action movies, Bruce Willis just about single handedly introduced me to the genre when I was about 10. Dislaimer: Die Hard really isn’t suitable for 10 year olds I had a very lenient father in that respect so I had a healthy understanding of when and when not it was suitable to use bad language etc. I then went on to love all the Bond, Mission Impossible, Bourne and Oceans’ films plus so many more. Yippee Ki-yay Motherf*****.

Easy A

 I’d like to start by saying that Emma Stone is perfect, like genuinely one of my favourite actresses, and she’s brilliant in this. I love how the movie, while being hilarious, does delve into the whole culture of slut shaming. Plus there’s a lot of eighties movies references and the actor who plays Olive’s (Emma’s) eventual love is pretty darn hot too.

Pitch Perfect

 This was one of those films I watched (not very legally) online, without realising that it wasn’t even out of the cinemas yet. I loved it, and have since watched it around 9 times, seriously. The humour and the music is right up my street, I’d love to be like Becca is in the film and the remix’s for the music are unbelievable, plus more eighties music references and yet another attractive and really sweet male. Also, if none of that wins you over, the absolutely genius Rebel Wilson co-stars.

It’s Kind of a Funny Story

 Another one of my late night/early morning films that I found on my laptop, I’d read the book, which details Craig’s depression and his admittance to a psychiatric ward in a mental hospital after becoming so stressed while attempting to get into a prestigious school. I seeing how the book was brought to life, Zack Galifianakis is the perfect Bobby and his story always makes me want to cry. The movie’s funny but the mental health theme is extremely well covered. Plus Craig and Noelle are the cutest couple.

The Avengers

 I managed to safely avoid this fandom for over a year, as I’ve never really been a massive Marvel fan but I eventually caved a few weeks ago and I have no idea why I put it off so long. The casting is fabulous, it’s often quoted as to how similar the actors are to their characters (see: Robert Downey Jr or Tony Stark, who knows???) Scarlett Johanson’s The Black Widow is one of my favourite female characters, completely kickass and she’s stunning.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

 One of my favourite book to film adaptions, Jim Carey is a genius and the perfect choice to play Count Olaf, I loved Violet and Klaus’s characters too. The actual cinematography in this film is the best possible style for the books which was amazing. I wish they had made more films out of this series, they only covered the first 3 books in the first film so there’s another 10 books worth of wonderful content to cover!

Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement

This would have made it onto my list purely for the scene where Mia’s wardrobe is revealed. I challenge anybody to watch that and not dream of having a wardrobe like that. Plus I adore Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews and Chris Pine and the casting in general is brilliant. I rewatched this recently and discovered that my desire to be a princess has not faded.

Phew, that took a fair while, and all I want to do now is grab a box of popcorn and have a movie marathon. Feel free to tell me if any of your favourite films are on here or leave your faves down below. Have a good day!
