What are your top ten favorite movies?

I love films, but the problem with top 10s, are that they change according to the weather. Therefore, this list will be defunct by tomorrow.

However, if I start at the beginning. When I was a child, my favourite film was always ET. The first film I fully remember seeing at the cinema and loving was Jurrassic Park (30-year anniversary). Steven Spielberg is a legend! There’s such a wonderful sense of nostalgia and magic in his films. Often just a dusting of magic in the most normal of settings.

Generally, as a genre, I would say that I like either thrillers (The Unforgiveable), historical fiction (The Good Liar), mysteries, or detective stories.

In addition, I’ve really got into animation as I’ve grown up and am a massive fan of Studio Gibli. Howl’s Moving Castle would be my favourite, and sadly probably one of the most famous.

Dark comedys really resonate with me, like Little Miss Sunshine, where the characters are wonderfully oddball, but therefore really stand out. Jojo Rabbit and Okja sit in here as well.

The final group of films that I love are travel films. Ones where the protagonist is seeking some sort of resolution in their life and they need to find it through travel. Into the Wild really stands out (very sad though), and recently I watched Nomadland and Wild.

I think I’ve mentioned at least 10 films now, they’re not in any order, but at least you can see the genre, so if you like a particular type that would be the one to go for. Enjoy!
