5 Films You Need To Watch!

-
Hey Guys x

Whenever I skip posting on Wednesdays I feel like it's been ages since I've written, even though it's only been like 4 days!

Anyway, I did a post called '5 Books You Need To Read' and some of you guys seemed to like it.

I wanted to do part two of that, but I didn't want to talk about books again. So the next obvious thing to go to was movies!

Films are another of my passions and I love when I can just sit down with no responsibility and watch a good movie, so I thought I'd recommend some of my favourites!

These are not in a particular order but I think that, from what I say about them, you can tell which are my favourites!

Grease



This is the first musical I ever saw and is still my favourite. If you haven't seen it, it's about a high school couple (called Danny and Sandy) and all the things that they go through to stay together. It's really fun and the songs are just amazing. Even if you haven't heard it, you've probably heard a song or two from the movie before. It's quite old, so don't expect it to have the best graphics or make the most sense in terms of the characters actions, but even so, I completely love it because it's such a feelgood film! Seriously, if you're just looking for something fun to chill out and watch, this is the film!

Urban Legend



Now, this is a horror movie, so you may not want to watch it, but I promise it's not as scary as other horror films that I have mentioned or reviewed. This film is, essentially, about a group of college students who have fun telling the stories of different urban legends that they've heard (such as the babysitter who gets killed by someone who has been calling her from inside the house!), which is fun, until they realise that someone on campus is recreating these urban legends, and killing people in the process! Seriously, if you're even a mild horror fan, watch this movie. It's chilling in a nice way and not to scary to watch when it gets dark!

Love Actually



This is a complete 360 degree turn from Urban Legend! This is the classic rom-com that everyone watches at christmas, but it's not just a christmas film. It's about a group of people who all fall in (and sometimes out of) love. They seem separate upon first glance, but somehow their lives are all interconnected. If you haven't seen this, you need to watch it! Even if you're not into all of that romance stuff, you won't be dissapointed!

Back To The Future



I actually have a list of favourite films, and this is my number one! It's been my favourite film trilogy since I was about 8 and, 10 years later, I have yet to lose my love for it. It is about a boy called Marty McFly who is friends with inventor/scientist Doc Emmet Brown. To cut a long story short (which i could discuss in minute detail) Doc invents a time machine, which causes 3 films worth of havoc! Throughout the trilogy they end up getting stuck in the past, go to the future, stuck in the Wild West, it's just completely crazy in the most amazing way! It doesn't matter what your favourite genre of movie is, take my advice and watch this!!

The Avengers

 
I only saw this for the first time two weeks ago and it is already number 2 in my list of favourite films! To be honest, I can't spend too much time explaining why I love it because it will take me hours and a lot of it will be boring for you to read. But literally, when I think about the film, I get little butterflies of excitement and I can't contain myself, which may sound really sad but to be honest, I don't care because it's the best feeling to have about a movie! If you're not familiar with the MARVEL cinematic universe, there are all of these superheroes (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow) who have previously been in their own MARVEL movies (which are completely separate from each other, but tend to feature some of the same characters). Anyway, this is the film where all of these heroes come together for the first time, and trust me when I say that it's completely EPIC! There's no limit to the amount of times that I can stress that you should all watch this film... but WATCH THIS FILM!!!
 
Those were 5 movies that I think you all should watch!

    I'm really not a film person (I only ever watch Disney animations and Star Wars ^.^) But I'm really trying to get into them recently because they're actually really good! I ADORE Love Actually and think I'm definitely going to check out Back to the Future <3

    I love Grease and Back to the Future!! I wish I would have seen Back to the Future earlier though, I just saw it for the first time last year and fell in love with it :'). I've ever seen Love Actually I always hear that it's really good. I tried to watch it one time but I wish someone would have told me about the nude sex scene at first haha, I mean it doesn't bother me or anything, I just wish I would have known about it so I wasn't taken by surprise when the scene came on haha. I'll have to give it another try though :D

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
