My Favorite Movies

Another all time favourite. Dark and perceptive or shockingly funny depending on how you look at it... genius

A beautiful film stressing the importance of imagination and wonder, without which we are condemned to pain and death. Wonderful- dark, touching, funny- the film touches so many emotions

One to get you thinking. Very inspiring and beautifully put together

Intelligent and funny. Existential detectives reminiscent of postmodern Dirk Gently.. well worth a look

Slag me off all you like. I love it. Deliciously mental and touching

Creative, cute and funny. Love it

Beyond wonderful. A comic masterclass.

Need I say more?

The all time ultimate family movie with oodles of charm, happiness and light juxtaposed against the darkness in men's hearts... it's a wonderful flick

Smart litte indie flick with some great dialogue

A masterclass in storytelling. Linda Hamilton is amazing as the trauma survivor of T1, reinvented as a relentless saviour of mankind regardless of the cost. Great exploration of masculine and feminine ideals versus their real truths. Favourite scene- Sarah Connors instant transformation from hard ass unstoppable force to jelly-legged whimpering wreck when confronted with what she thinks is her nemesis from T1

Fantastically insightful piece on human nature. The writing's more wonderful than the acting but that's mostly down to the style of the time. A couple of changes have been made from the orginal play, but it still stands well, if not quite as dark as it's source material

A great movie about challenging accepted assumptions and beliefs. Wonderful.

There can be only one. Except for all the sequels. But I still love it

The original pick 'em off one at a time movie. And it'll teach you what it feels like to be a TV dinner.

Brilliant piece on human nature, though I'm with the guy who said: "Malkovich is mesmerizing. But in what universe is the reward for seducing Uma Thurman and Michelle Pfeiffer getting to sleep with ... Glenn Close?! "

There is no spoon.

This kind of comedy doesn't come any better than this. What do you mean "it's dumb"?!

The ultimate star wars movie

Hilarious if you've ever had to look after a child

Everything a bond movie should be but never has. Slick, tightly cut and engaging, Damon really surprised me as an action type.

War of the Roses for the post-therapy generation... Sparkling sense of fun between Jolie and Pitt. I really hadn't expected to like this one, but there's plenty going on under the hood- sharp dialogue and cheeky subtextual commentary. Classicly understated comedy moments like the Girl from Ipanema lift scene. Great fun, beautifully shot. Jolie looks like a christmas present waiting to be unwrapped.

Batman with balls. At last.

Fascinating take on art and neurosis, missed opportunities, creative avoidance, excuses and the way we can needlessly complicate things on occasion

"It's K-k-k-k-k-k-ken! He's c-c-coming to k-k-k-k-kill me!". Genius.

Best of three..?

Tight, smart and slick. A classic

Slick and charming- sparkling dialogue

I hurt myself laughing when woody got up early to milk the cow

A fabulously warm hearted and touching film. I first saw it on a date when I was fifteen and didn't get it at all- I found it dull at the time. Watching it again nearly twenty years on I realised how wrong I'd been- it really is a wonderful film, enhanced if you're familiar with certain UK stereotypes. Look out for Rose Tyler's mum from Doctor Who!

I love this film to bits... funny, smart and touching, I can watch it again and again

Campbell Scott is fascinating as the savage anti-hero, sowing tragedy and destruction wherever he goes, unable to help himself, toying with people because he can

If you've ever worked in an office (and hated it), you must watch this. There's a short section that seems to drop the ball for a while, but otherwise, brilliant

North London boys like myself of a certain background and vintage will see endless entertaining parallels in here... a real winner, with Hugh Grant being a lot more fun than he's usually allowed to be
