Top 10 #6 - Films

Hey everyone!
I know I normally do my top #5 but,

I'm a huge film buff so this post has been quite difficult to do so I'm doing my top 10 films.

After a long time thinking (slightly hurt my brain) these are my favourite ones.

#1 Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly

The first time I watched this I was a lot younger and it scared me I remember holding my mams hand tightly but as a few years passed I watched it on my own and LOVED it. There's nothing scary about it.

Favourite character: Hoggle

Favourite quote: "Hey, lady! It's against the rules to throwing other people's heads!"

#2 Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton.

Just wow! I seen this at the cinemas for a friends birthday. When Jake first came on I was like "BICEPS!"

It truly is a great film it has a fantastic storyline, Princes, Princesses, evil people. I didn't know that it was a video game until a friend told me. The ending is so cute.

Favourite character: Sheik Amar

Favourite quote: You can't organise an Ostrich race with only one Ostrich!

#3 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.

Indiana Jones is my hero. I love all 4 films but this is my ultimate favourite. Once again it has the element of myths and power beyond imagination. Part of it is set in Italy which is just amazing. And the fact that it has thee Sir Sean Connery the legend himself puts it miles ahead of the others. I love the whole father, son relationship they have it just makes you laugh.

Favourite character: Sallah

Favourite quote: "How did you know she was a Nazi? She talks in her sleep."

#4 A Little Princess with Liam Cunningham and Liesel Matthews.

This is a beautiful story everyone has to watch this film. It will make you cry but you'll be so happy at the end. Sarah is such an amazing strong girl at such a young age (I'm aware this is a film) she endures heartache, friendship, courage and hope. Her relationship with her father is so perfect what every little girls wants. Be sure to have tissues at the hand.

Favourite character: Sarah

Favourite quote: "I swear, that child has a pact with Satan to destroy me!"

#5 The Avengers

With all the hype and a previous post I don't think I need an explanation other than 'BICEPS, YUM!, HOTNESS'

Favourite character: Captain America

Favourite quote: "Be careful how you speak, Loki is still of Asgard and my brother.

He's killed more than 80 people in 2 days.

He's adopted."

#6 The Inbetweeners

All my friends seen this without me so I watched it online. Thank god I did! My laugh would've annoyed everyone. This is just an hilarious film, about a group of average English lads going aboard on their first 'lads' holiday. This is not a film to watch with your parents.

Favourite character: Will

Favourite quote: "I stopped believing in god when I realised it was just dog spelt backwards"

#7 Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Pt2

This is my favourite purely because its when everything comes together. Harry finally finds all of the horcruxes now able to destroy Voldermort finding out more about Dumbledore. I read all of the books before the films came out and this I think is the closest to the book. I love the very last clip of them 10 years later.

Favourite character: Neville (Always has been)

Favourite quote: "Not my daughter, you bitch!"

#8 Just Go with It with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston

This is another film great film with the master of comedy Adam Sandler, who plays a plastic surgeon he enlists his assistant and her children to pretend to be his ex wife and children all to impress a girl.

Its full of funny lies and its defiantly a film for the whole family.

Favourite character: Eddie

Favourite quote: "So Michael, your dad tells me you like to go to the bathroom?
Michael: When I feel it, I do it."

#9 27 Dresses with James Marsden and Katherine Heigl

Defiantly one of the best rom coms out! Katherine plays a wedding planner who's kept all of he 27 bridesmaid dresses. She's been in love with her boss for years but then her sister comes to town and gets engaged to him asking Katherine to be her wedding planner.

Another film full of funny lines and great songs such as Bennie and the Jets.

Favourite character: Pedro

Favourite quote: "Hey, do you want to come over to my place before the party? Some of the guys from shipping are coming, and they're bringing tequila and bubble wrap."

#10 Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet.

I read the book before the film, it's such a great adaption. I'm sure many of you have read the book by Jane Austen. I truly love this film, about two sisters who's father has died leaving them in poor circumstances along with their mother and younger sister.

Favourite character: Margaret

Favourite quote: "Please don't say anything important 'til I come back."

A bientôt, M! xo

Top Five #2 - Actors

Hello, this week I'm sharing my favourite actors. Nothing much has happened this week as I've mainly been baby sitting. I've bought a few bits and bobs which I'll add on tomorrows Saturdays post.

Here are the actors:

1 - Johnny Depp.

One of the most versatile and gorgeous actors to have ever lived! And if you don't know who he is you must be living under a rock. My favourite film he's been in is Pirates of the Carribbean: At Worlds End.

I just love his British accent it makes me go all jelly. For Alice In Wonderland I couldn't think of a better actor to play Mad Hatter, he was amazing. All of the Burton/Depp films are brilliant they're the perfect couple in the film industry, I really want to see Dark Shadows which is out soon it looks hilarious.

THERE IS ALSO A PIRATE OF THE CARRIBBEAN 5 COMING OUT!!!

2 - Harrison Ford.

The first film I seen him in was Six Days Seven Nights a rom com with David Schwimmer. I recognised him but couldn't put my finger on it until my mam told me he was Indiana Jones! My uncle was mad on Indiana Jones and always told me to watch them.

So obviously I bought the Indiana Jones film set which is amazing with all four films. They are all amazing apart from The Temple of Doom which is ok just not as good as the others. Also he starred in the remake of Audrey Hepburns' Sabrina.
WHILST DOING THIS POST I'VE SEEN THERE IS A INDIANA JONES 5 COMING OUT!
Really hope Shia LaBeouf is in again, well he has to he's Indi's son. Kind of just answered my own question there :S

3 - Ben Stiller.

When I think of Ben Stiller the iconic film that comes to mind is There's Something About Mary. Which is hilarious from start to finish, it's one of the films I can watch over and over without getting bored. Zoolander is an hilarious film, his manager is played by his real life dad!

I love the Madagascar films which he voices Alex the lion my favourite one would be Escape 2 Africa. I also like Night At The Museum and Meet The Fockers. Last year when I was in New York we went to the Natural History Museum I just kept going round saying 'Ben Stillers been here, we are walking where he's walked' (Weird I know, I'm strange like that).

THERE'S A ZOOLANDER 2 COMING OUT!!

4 - Adam Sandler.

Funny! He's funny, his films are funny!
I'm not lying when I say I've seen everyone of his movies!
There's quite a few films that stand out for me such as; Grown Ups, Big Daddy, Just Go With It, Happy Gilmore and Little Nicky.
Not only does he star in movies he also writes and produces them, I'm sure he has his own company too Happy Madison.
THERE IS A GROWN UPS 2 COMING OUT!!

5 - Robert Downey Jr.
I've loved him for years, way before Iron Man. I like many geeky movies and the first time I watched him was in a film called Weird Science which is pretty amazing. These two geeks make a real women from a computer programme who is hot and Downey plays on of the bullies.
The next two films were rom coms. The Pick-up Artist with Molly Ringwald the ultimate 80's teen actress, she was in loads of teen films such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club basically John Hughes was amazing. Got a tad carried away as you can probably tell I LOVE films. The other one was Only You a lovely rom com set in Italy.
FINALLY THE AVENGERS!!
JUST WOW!!

He really is SO cute in this!

I'm currently having a conversation with Kate (My bestfriend currently at University in York), which has went like this;

Me: RIGHT, I KNOW THERES ANOTHER AVENGERS FILM COMING BUT,
THOR 2 COMING OUT NEXT YEAR WITH NATALIE PORTMAN!!!
IRON MAN 3 COMING OUT NEXT YEAR!!!
CAPTAIN AMERICA 2 COMING OUT IN 2014!!!
NEW HULK COMING OUT IN 2015!!!
I hope I don't die soon!!!

A bientôt!
