My Favorite Movies

The best of the LOTR trilogy it has it all - action, drama, emotion and great performances from a great cast. The perfect end to a perfect set of movies.

The first of the fantasy trilogy is a great introdution to what is to come. I remember seeing this the first time at the cinema and being totally blown away.

Probably the weakest of the trilogy though still amazing. It suffers with having no real beginning or end. Though the battle of Helm's Deep is outstanding.

You cannot fault the Harry Potter movies on their entertainment value. This fifth movie is a brilliant adaptation. Although at times it feels a bit rushed plot wise it is visually stunning and there are faultless performances from all no matter how big or small their part is. The main trio have matured brilliantly and of the new charcters Imelda Staunton, Evanna Lynch and Helena Bonham Carter shine.

The fourth movie in the Harry Potter series has a great dark edge. Yes it cuts out loads of the book but the Triwizard Tournaments tasks have been brought to life brilliantly. I wasn't disappointed.

Harry's world is starting to get darker in this third instalment in the HP series. The Dementors are very creepy and there's loads of great British talent on board in this one.

The second HP adventure is a little like an episode of Scooby Doo though is still great entertainment and Kenneth Branagh is great as Gilderoy Lockhart.

The first HP adventure has some dodgy effects though JK Rowling's world is brought to life with amazing sets.

An original script teamed with great performances from Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Funny and moving.

Johnny Depp puts in a fantastic performance in Tim Burton's gothic drama. A terrific movie.

Another of my kiddie classics this is Indinia Jones with kids lots of traps and adventure.

Another unmissable Burton/Depp collaboration. More true to the book than the original and the sets are amazing.

Yes some may say it's soppy and corny but I love it. A great movie experience - especially the spectacular sinking.

Joaquin Phoenix growls his way brilliantly through Johhny Cash's hit songs in this outstanding biopic of the singers life. Reese Witherspoon is also great as his wife June Carter. Catchy songs and a compelling story.

A childhood favourite that I still enjoy watching today. Great family fun.

A romantic comedy mixed with Zombies - sounds stupid - but it's brilliant. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost once again show that they are a brilliant double act and most of the gang from the brilliant TV series Spaced pop up. One that you can watch again and again.

A feelgood movie pure and simple. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are the perfect double act.

Hugh Grant plays against type in this fun movie. The always brilliant Toni Collette puts in an terrific performance. Funny and emotional.

Still a groundbreaking visual effects treat with heartpounding action and terrifying dinosaurs that still look real today.

Perfect family comedy with stunning animation (the water looks completely real). Ellen DeGeneras as Dory is hilarious.

Fantastic movie that offers great comedy moments and outstanding animation.

Johnny Depp is hilarious in this movie - he should've got the Oscar. A great comedy adventure.

One of the few horror movies I like. This is funny as well as being very scary and thrilling.

Tom Hank's best movie in my opinion. This is an involving story filled with moments that will make you laugh and cry.

A modern day Mary Poppins. Emma Thompson is brilliant in this movie. Magical viewing.

A who's who of British talent star in this very funny romantic comedy. Bill Nighy and Emma Thompson steal the show.

Perfect Disney classic that has great songs from Elton John and an involving story as well as loads of laughs.

Magical adaptation of CS Lewis beloved book. This is easily as good as HP and LOTR.

Mixing live action and animation brilliantly this is a fantastic movie from start to finish.

Wallace and Gromit make it to the big screen in this fun animated caper.

Another brilliant movie from the Aardman team. Although Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park wasn't involved in this movie it is still a funny and brilliantly animated movie that will certainly keep you entertained. The vocal cast are also brilliant. Plus I loved the singing slugs - great.

Steven Spielberg brilliance. A lot of studio bosses thought this alien movie would bomb as kids wouldn't like it - how wrong where they?

Another outstanding character driven movie from Mike Leigh with a mesmerizing performance from the brilliant Imelda Staunton.

Terrific performances and a compelling story make this a fantastic movie that you have to see.

Unashameably gory, this is a visual treat with director Tim Burton serving up another gothic masterpiece. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are great both on the acting and singing stakes and Alan Rickman is a terrific villain. The only problem here is there could've been a little more dialogue between the songs but overall this is an amazing film. Not one for the weak stomached or faint hearted...

More Pixar brilliance. A great plot, great gags and Edna Mode is brilliant. Fantastic.

A great suspense filled thriller with Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams putting in perfect performances.

Mixing drama with his usual visual flair, this Tim Burton directed movie starring Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney is definatly worth a look.

Funny and shocking this sci-fi comedy from Tim Burton has a great cast, brilliant effects and some fantastic scenes.

This gothic horror reunites Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Depp is fantastic as always and puts in a fine performance.

An amazing gothic animated caper from the brilliant Tim Burton and co. A brilliant vocal cast teamed with an original script make this an entertaining movie.

Another fantastic movie from the team behind Shaun of the Dead. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make the perfect double act once again. The jokes come thick and fast and the plot is also a lot of fun with some unexpected twists. The cast list is also great with the likes of Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy and Timothy Dalton putting in great performances. Pure fun all the way.

A brilliant adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Emma Thompson acts and writes the screenplay and a supporting cast of British talent make this a winning period drama.

This global warming adventure has it all with tidal waves and tornadoes aplenty. Great popcorn entertainment.

The way this is filmed is wonderful - this is truly an incredible journey that you won't forget.

A Disney classic.

Spider-man's first outing is a visual treat with Tobey Maguire taking on the role of Peter Parker perfectly. Kirsten Dunst and Willem Dafoe offer excellent support.
