My 10 Favourite Movies | Blogmas Day 13

-
Hey Guys x

So, next up in my list of movie-based posts is my 10 Favourite Movies of all-time!

Of course, I'll probably change these favourites in a month, but right now, these seem like my all-time favourite movies, and I can't wait to share them with you!

The top 3 haven't changed from the last time I did this post, but all the others have! However, because they are my favourites, they are all movies that I talk about all the time anyway, so you could probably guess what they are!

10. About Time

I love this movie! It's a romantic time-travel movie about a guy who finds out that he is able to time travel and change the past. He helps himself to meet his girlfriend, to marry her, to have children, and everything else that happens to them. It's such a great movie that will leave you just feeling nice and positive. Definitely a must-watch for everyone who likes a bit of romance!

9. Urban Legend

This film came on television the other night, which is probably why it's still fresh in my mind as a favourite. Whenever people ask me to recommend a horror movie, this is always the first one that springs to mind because it's the most original one that I can think of while still being scary! It's about someone who kills people based on popular urban legends. It's such a great idea and the writer of the film carried it out really well. Overall, a very successful horror movie!

8. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I am a Disney-Girl, but I would love this even if it wasn't a Disney movie. I have a crush on Quasimodo, I think he's incredible and I love him. This is a classic film that most people have seen, but if you haven't, it's about the life of deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo, and the way that his life changes after he meets gypsy dancer Esmeralda. An incredible film with a great message that everyone should watch!

7. The Five-Year Engagement

There are just so many things about this film that make it amazing! It's about an engaged couple's journey down the aisle, but there are many twists and turns in store. Of course, because it stars Emily Blunt it was always going to be a favourite of mine, but even without Emily Blunt, it's such a good film! In my opinion, it's the definition of a rom-com, there's as many funny moments as there are romantic ones, which makes this such a fun movie!

6. Mamma Mia

Of course I had to include a musical at some point! I love the music of ABBA, so a film that incorporates that is automatically great in my book. I love the story in this film, a girl about to get married decides to invite her three potential fathers to her wedding. All of the songs were perfect for the moments that they happened in, everyone in the film was great and their voices were amazing, plus the cast were great! I love this film! If you ever need to be in a good mood, put this on!

5. The Adjustment Bureau
















I've only seen this film twice and it's already really high on this list because I have such an infinite love for it! It's about a guy who discovers that there are people who decide the way that our lives are going to go. And they're tasked with keeping him away from the woman he loves. It's an amazing concept and an amazing film that I think anyone could watch and love! Definitely watch this film if you haven't, you will not be disappointed!

4. Star Trek '09
















Of course Star Trek had to be in this list, I've been talking about it so much over the last few months! I am so glad that I was introduced to the first Star Trek film because all three of the films in the franchise are amazing! In addition to this, it reignited my childhood love for Chris Pine, so if nothing else, it's made me see what an amazing actor he is. But even so, it's an incredible, exciting film that had me on the edge of my seat, and that's the best kind of film! Even if you think you won't like Star Trek, give this film a chance because it's amazing!

3. Horrible Bosses
















Again, this is number three on my list. I re-watched it the other day and loved it just as much as I did the first time I saw it. It is just such a funny film, the funniest film that I've ever seen in my entire life, apart from the sequel, Horrible Bosses 2, which is also hilarious! If you need a good laugh and are over 15, watch this, you won't be able to hold in the laughter. Even when I think about certain lines in the film I start laughing! You will not be disappointed if you choose to watch this film, just make sure you're prepared to laugh until you cry!

2. The Avengers
















I'm not even saying much about this, because I talk about this movie all the time and I think I've already mentioned it once, if not more, during Blogmas. But just know that I love this movie and would encourage anyone to watch it!

1. Back to the Future
















My favourite film of all time, without a doubt, is Back to the Future. It's been my favourite film for so many years and it still is because there's nothing that's ever been able to beat it. It's a time-travel movie about a guy who accidentally goes back in time, stops his parents from meeting, and has to get them back together before he ceases to exist. It's a great concept that was fantastically carried out and I doubt anything will ever be able to top this.

Thank you for reading.

It's 12 days until Christmas!

Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 14!

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-

When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

The Matrix | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the Bucket List was a first-time watch. This is one that I had obviously heard of but knew next to nothing about. I found that it took a long time for me to connect with the story, and even then, while the film was interesting to watch, I never felt particularly invested in it. There were a lot of recognisable, iconic moments that I appreciated, and I get how much of an impact it had on sci-fi (and probably movies in general), but I don't know if it was for me. I somewhat enjoyed it, I understood everything that happened, but never felt connected, and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It could just be that I need to re-watch it, and I probably will, but for a first watch, I didn't take to it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I'm glad I finally watched it!
