Favourite Films?

Seeing as the first of hopefully many film nights is due to start next Friday, I thought I'd name a few of my favourite films as a recommendation for you all...

Of course, I spent a whole (if rather short) blog discussing Shaun of the Dead so you already know that that's right up there on my favourites list. It has a bit of everything; a lot of wit, a lot of zombies (possibly not preferable in real life) and a little bit of Queen. What's not to love?

So next is The Boat That Rocked. If I'd have been born in the 60's, I'm sure it would have taken me back to the good old days. Regrettably, I was born in the 90's. Anyway, although this film apparently got crap reviews and bought in an awful amount of money, for those of us who have a good taste in films it is actually REALLY good. I liked it so much I bought the Soundtrack as well.

Next up is (500) Days of Summer. Unlike many terrible predictable films these days, it actually has a realistic plot although maybe not an entirely realistic ending. Who gets married that quickly? Aside from the unexpected marriage, it's a really sweet film.

Love Actually happens to be a film that my family watch at least once a year, at Christmas. It's interesting how all the characters are linked together and once again has a fairly realistic plot.

Finally, you've always got to have a little bit of Grease stashed in your favourite films list. I have watched this film so many times it's ridiculous. I grew up watching this film so of course it's a classic in my eyes.

And those are pretty much my top five. :)
