The Top Ten

I know it's damn near impossible for me to choose my top ten films of all time, so for now here is how they stand currently. First off what do I look for in a film to make it enjoyable, well I personally prefer well thought out plot, deep characters you can feel emotionally attached to and writing that makes you believe every moment. Oh and of course I can't do without the odd bit of good cheese and something that makes me blub my eyes out! So here's the top ten:

10 - Perfume - Story Of A Murderer

This is an incredible film, slightly weird but full of some ethereal depth I've never seen in a film before. The cinematography and location choice is simply stunning.

9 - Titanic

Okay call me a cheese loving sissy but I just love this film, has me reaching for the tissues every time.  I love the parallels you can draw from the film to modern day events. Yes, it's corny but who doesn't enjoy a good corny cry in the corner every once in a while. Oh and did I mention it's coming out again in the cinemas on my birthday!!!!

8 - V For Vendetta

Seriously underrated film this one, tells much of what the government could become if the public are not careful. I'm not one for politics much but this film is tragically phenomenal and emotionally uplifting.

7 - The Green Mile

I challenge you not to cry at this film, the story verges on the supernatural but just ever so slightly so you still believe everything. And of course the helplessness of the death row guards just makes you emotionally raw.

6 - Inglorious Basterds

Quirky but at the same time horrific. The performances my multiple actors in this film are second to none, Also Tarantino has a knack for hitting all the right buttons as far as script and plot are concerned. The scene with the projector room makes me die with happiness inside whenever I watch it.

5 - Love Actually

My favourite Rom-Com a must watch at christmas. Outstanding performances again from all actors and actresses but my favourite out of all the fascinating interweaving stories has to be Emma Thompson's role. Played to perfection... and it got me into the legend that is Joni Mitchell.

4 - Lost and Delirious

Again, not a very well known film at all, and some may call over melodramatic but recently I can't stop watching this film. The performances are so alive and yes it's corny with the odd bit of Shakespeare thrown in but who cares!? I read the book it was based on recently and found it bares hardly any resemblance. In all honesty I prefer this film so much more. 

3 - The Hours

Literally just finished watching this film and what can I say... Love love love it! The twist at the end made me  sit with my mouth open for a good 10 minutes. Stunning. Just stunning.

2 - The Pianist

This film is so raw and effortless it's unreal. I can watch this again and again and never fully comprehend its incredibleness. The scene with the piano... OH don't get me started!!! GO WATCH IT NOW! :)

1 - Schindler's List

I have only seen this film once. But I sat there for three hours solid with my eyes transfixed on the screen. My attention was held purely out of the blissful cinematography, the beautiful script, the stunning plot and the amazing character of Schindler. All I can say is I'm going to savour every single time I watch this film from now on. And that is why it has got to no1. Spielberg you god.
