//M.T) Love/Romance

Much more than just a Bollywood version of ?Memento?, it offers a much more in depth background story which builds nicely to a revenge plot. The occasionally songs throughout the film were entertaining and fit well as do the soundtrack songs.

The flashing back and forth in time provided a good order in which to tell the story and is much different to ?Memento? in that respect also.

Aamir Khan played a an impressive lead role here, with a quite a transformation in character, who with a very athletic physique, provides some enjoyable fight scenes and moves.

Lengthly, but a very enjoyable watch and has instantly become part of my favourite films list.

A film that progressively satisfies, the further you watch and is full of metaphorical value.

Quirky, yet grounded (as much as a story about an Angel can be). Great characters, enjoyable storyline, something that reminded me in it?s theme to ?It?s a Wonderful Life?.

Entertaining and different, a love triangle with unusual circumstances. An easy laid back watch.

LONELY HEARTS

Jared Leto loses his boyish looks in this film as he transforms himself into an older man and teams up with Salma Hayek to become lovers on a rampage in a Bonnie & Clyde fashion.

Worth watching, but don?t make it a high priority.

A long winded love story, to which becomes more enjoyable during the second half. Boredeom set in occasionally which surprised me because I?ve heard such good things about this film.

Worthy of all the recommendations, I received, I guess this story fits my liking for tragic romances. The views of China are breathtaking and great performances from Norton and Watts who managed to pass as sounding English where so many fail.

This isn't the type of film you can describe very well to someone else without giving away the storyline, so I just recommend that you watch it.

A film that leaves you full of emotions. Not the first film to bring about the subject of Homosexuality, yet the size of publicity this film gained, both positively and negatively has probably made it the most talked about Gay Interest film.

What makes this film quite unique for me is the lack of stereotyping in the casting and sitation of the storyline. The storyline builds from a slow moving start to a powerful and emotional tale.

Truly great performances by both Ledger and Gyllenhaal and is part of my favourite films list.

Good performances all round, particularly from Natalie Press, about a relationship between two girls who share the summer together and the differences between them.

VERDICT: A really enjoyable film

An impressive futuristic story, which is beyond comprehension as an outlook on our future.

A much enjoyed story (perhaps slightly longer than was necessary) with some enjoyable performances and characters. Sean Bean definitely plays a bad guy best, just unfortunate that the role for Djimon Housou wasn?t bigger, but likable performances from Ewan and Scarlett

4 STARS

This film was slightly odd, in that there wasn't a great storyline, it's more about the events after a balloon crash and how it effects the main characters, however the quality of the acting particularly from Daniel Craig, but also from Rhys Ifans and Samantha made this film intriguing and worth watching

An imaginative, adventurous and enjoyable film. It did, however, take a while to really get started, but with great costumes, this movie is visually mesmerizing.

An oddly unusual style of film where Jim Carrey plays a great straight role and Kate Winslet plays a fantastic role as his girlfriend he has split with. A couple of confusing parts that become clear at the end, but all in all an entertaining and unique film.

The best revenge story ever. A great adaption of the book. Performances were great all around, but the performance has to be Guy Pearce for being believably arrogant and a character that compells you to hate with a vengence

Such a different perspective on a war-time film, showing this through a strong woman?s eyes, in a man?s world. This story is essentially driven by love.

Blanchett yet again, pours emotion into her performance and is of course a believable role. I too, have to give Billy Crudup credit for his performance here which I feel is his greatest to date.

Impressive all around with a much enjoyed plot.

I can?t get enough of Paddy Considine, this tragic love story is one of a very topical theme. I?m sure it won?t be to everyone?s taste, because of the politics of the theme and it?s quite a slow moving plot, but performance wise all three main characters were supurb.

A bitter-sweet tale from start to finish, this film is all about breaking generational cycles of learned behaviour. The film has a very raw honesty about it and the emotions go from each extreme, from no feeling to intense feeling and is a most extroidinary tale of love and lost.

It was certainly Halle Berry's best performance to date in my opinion, but Billy Bob Thornton was something else and this was arguably his best role to date too.

The Father must have played a great role too, because the disgust of his character really is felt through the storytelling.

One of my favourite films, it?s deep and it?s human!

?Sliding Doors? is a film that when released, finally made sense of those thoughts we all have of ?what if?? It?s a thought provoking piece which leads you to question, whether or not there is such a thing as destiny or fate and ponder many an alternative scenario.

I actually prefer the basis of the story in this film to the Romantic Comedy side of things (no surprise there!) and Gwyneth was someone I found to be an interesting Actress around that time. Paltrow was one of the first American Actresses to come over to the UK and use an English accent, at the time I thought she did a good job, but on re-watching now, it does sound a little forced.

A truly bizarre notion and not one that seems plauseable in stretch of the imagination.

In my view Brad Pitt has two levels of acting; 'Pretty Boy Brad' and 'Scruffy Brad', he seems to do better in the latter, however, in the film we see Pretty.

It wasn't a total diasaster, but has more than it's fair share of bad points. Wasn't this film a box office flop?

At three hours long (and none to exciting ones at that), I feel I should give the film a good point too, which I think lies with Claire Felani.

Another enjoyable film from Almodovar. A story of betrayal, love and revenge, with some great characters.

Titanic is very typical of the Big Hollywood Blockbusters that I usually avoid until all the hype is over.

It is without doubt a huge scale film in every sense of the word and seems to have his equal share of fans and critics alike.

Of course the effects and the computer generated images are the fascination of this film. The love story of course, made for the interesting sub-story and added sentimentality when flashing back to the older Rose.

Sadly for me, Dicaprio will be remembered by many for this film alone, when his acting capabilities are above and beyond the role he played here, that being said the characters were enjoyable and of course made for a great star crossed lovers kind of story.

I was completely blown away by this storyline. The plot travels along steadily at first and is very 2-dimensional, but soon enough, come clever flashbacks, sub-plots and intertwining relationships, which all managed to link together and yet still keeps you surprised throughout.

Vincent Cassell is as always impressive and monica Bellusi (something I rarely comment on!) was absolutely stunning.

Enjoyably confusing and quite brilliant.

I've watched this film countless times and I could never get bored of it. As a fan of Woody Harrelson, even I didn't expect him to pull off the character of Mickey Knox as well as he did and Juliette Lewis being cast for the part of Mallory was perfection.

This film has two parts to it, a 'before' they got caught for their killing spree and an 'after' they got caught. It portrayed a very deep connection between the two main characters, that could not be broken, whether together, seperated or facing death.

I love the story that the Shaman tells about the snake.

The Style of the filming is probably something taken for granted now in these style films, but it's still impressive.

My favourite tragic romance film, I particularly enjoy the native Indian influence in this film. I can't say any more without giveing the plot away to those who haven't seen this film, but it's a great journey of three brothers, who are each unique.

I really enjoyed this film, one to just sit back and relax with. Love the more humble parts De Niro plays as well as the powerful.

Was this the first film perhaps, to have a crime boss in therapy? before Analyse This/That and The Soprannos?

I'd actually forgotten I used to be a fan of Christian Slater, of course we don't seem to hear much of him now, but he and Patricia Arquette pull of this film as the main characters, accompanied of course by a strong cast of great actors. It's the ultimate story of love at first sight and of course romance. It has to be one of the funniest parts Brad Pitt has ever played.

Based on the story "The Return of Martin Guerre" this is a beautifully and inticately woven tale that tests the strength of love and pride. A story with powerful emotions and a dilema which is a tragedy of it's time.

Richard Gere who is often criticised as an Actor gave no reason for criticism here and another good performance from Jodie Foster.

In Kevin Costner's acting Hey day and Whitney Houston was still a name we heard regularly, this corny, yet unique storyline emerged onto our screens with the song everyone will remember as being played over and over and over.

Despite the cheesy aspects of the film, it does have it?s fair share of funny quoteable lines eg: Woman in green [approaching Frank] ~ "I've been watching you all night from across the room." Frank: "Why don't you go back there. Keep watching. "

The Diva role for Whitney's character wasn?t really a huge stretch of the imagination now and certainly by no means is it greatly acted, yet The Bodyguard still remains a very watchable film of the 90?s.

It's quite unbelievable to think that this film is 18 years old. It made such an impact during it's arrival in 1990 that there can't be many people left who haven't seen this classic.

These are the type of films you can watch over and over and know most of the lines (Willie Lopez - 303 Prospect Place....) yes I think I've seen it too many times, but still manage to spot something different each time.

Patrick Swayze, already having made stardom through his role in Dirty Dancing was familier to us, but it was Whoopi Goldberg, with her comical input that really livened this film up.

Of course this is one of those films where whenever 'Unchained Melody' is played we automatically think of the potter's wheel scene.

A tragic love story with an unexpected ending for me.

I know many find Costner a little cheesy, but I happen to find he has been in some really good films, this one included.

All in all a pretty decent film.

Like many of Almodovar?s work, the beauty is always found in the most unusual circumstances. Just like Penelope Cruz, we see a very different side of Antonio Banderas than the Hollywood Actor we all know him to be.

A compelling watch with an enjoyable plot.

A film I love to watch over and over, the star for me in this film is Bryan Brown.

This film transends me straight back to my early teens, when I was much more appreciative of ?girly? films, when every girl wanted to be Baby and when the actual dirty dancing was cause for controversy. Nostalgia places this one as possibly my favourite film of the 80?s.

Watching this now, years later, it?s easy to pick up on other things in the movie, such as the huge class divide. There is no doubt that this has become a classic and it has more memorable quotes than I care to remember.

I?m not sure I like De Niro so much in romantic roles, he was still pretty good in this and so was Meryl Streep, but I just prefer his other tougher roles, I guess he did too, otherwise he would have made more. Maybe the romance was not tragic enough for my liking.

Still, a good watch, but not high up on the De Niro/Streep leader board of films.

Tootsie represents a story of man?s vision through the eyes of a woman during the 80?s. What starts out as a way of gaining employment, soon becomes a woven web of deceipt. The film takes a playful jab at the U.S. ?Soap Opera? shows and whilst Hoffman pulls off his role as a woman, it?s his real character ?Michael? who is entertaining.

An enjoyable role from Jessica Lange too.

A film I have watched over and over since I was a kid and annoyingly know pretty much every word to.

I am a self-confessed, non-girly girl and a flixster friend thought they'd made a breakthrough when they heard I liked this film, sorry to disappoint but it was the assort course, the relationship between Zac and Sid and the relationship between Zac and Serjeant Foley that I loved so much.

VERDICT: A film that everyone should watch at some point

Despite being around 7 years old when I first watched this film (and not completely understanding all of it's contents) I watched this film over and over and fell in love with the costumes (how naive? ha ha).

Country music isn't particular my thing, but this film is fun and I still remember pretty much every word throughout the film (yes, I was an even worse film addict as a kid).

I have to rate this film fairly high, the nostalgia's sake.

A truly beautiful film, a great tale of time travel, love and devotion. The beautiful Jane Seymour, somehow looks at home in the period costumes.

An old film, but a good film, there was no disappointment watching this film many years after the first time, I enjoyed every moment of it - No I'm not softening, it's still a tragic romance!

A very underated film I feel, a very twisted love story of obsession and jealousy.

Not quite as good as I was expecting this to to be, although I think Faye Dunnaway played a great part. Interesting to know the full story, but a lot of boing parts this hasn't made me become any more of a Warren Beatty than I was.

It?s been a while! Anyone who has visitied Austria can appreciate it?s beauty which is portrayed in the film. A very long film, which brings music, adventure, a partly true story and a political agenda.

A much laughed at film, but I guess you have to have a love of musicals to entertain this.

An enjoyable rewatch, which sparked a lot of nostalgia.

The magic of Gene Kelly and Donald O?Connor dancing together is still joy to watch. This is a film I often watched as a child and although I still find it enjoyable, it has lost some of it?s appeal (but only slightly).

Through the first half of this film, I couldn?t help wondering what the appeal really was and was beginning to think that it was a very overrated movie, the ending however, changed my whole opinion on the film and was really quite enjoyable.

It was fun to hear all the famous quotes put into context at long last.
