Some of the filums I like
I watch a lot of films, and I mean a whole shed load of film. I can honestly say that I must watch about five films a week. These films tend to be either horror or science fiction, although I have been known to partake of the odd comedy, drama, thriller, documentaries, and just about anything that takes my fancy) even TV series when they’re released on DVD.) In my collection I must have getting close to 1000 of the things.

Because I tend to watch so much I really don’t have a short list of ‘Favourite Films’, so I’ll tell you the ones which I watch time and again and give you the reasons why. So here we go, and in no particular order.

1 Jaws – This was the first film I took a girl to see (and before you all start I’m not that old, I took her to see it in a re-run, but yes I did see it in the cinema when it first came out). It’s genuinely frightening and a great film to watch with somebody who scares easily. And also because it is the one film that still manages to make me jump every time I watch it.

2 Aliens – It’s just a good all round film, action, suspense, horror, comedy, and a good feel good film.

3 Watership Down – I love this film, and the end always gives me a lump in my throat.

4 The Thing – One of the best horror films ever made, full of suspense, claustrophobia, and a feeling of never knowing exactly what is going on and who is who.

5 Near Dark – This has to be one of the best vampire movies of all time and it has a large number of the cast of Aliens in it. It’s the kind of film where you can ignore the horror and just focus on the story most of the time. It also has some of the best lines ever in a movie.

6 Carry on Screaming – Come on now, what list of good movies would be complete without a Carry on film in it! Fun, irreverent, and with some of the best British actors ever. When I was a child this used to be on the TV every Halloween, and it always brings back fond memories of that great time in my life.

7 Memento – Just a really good film, I like the way it was done it makes you wonder and think about what you would do.

8 Donnie Darko – I know a lot of people don’t understand what is going on in this film, but I thought that it was a real easy watch, the story is linear and easily understood (please don’t flame me.)

9 2001 A Space Odyssey – A beautiful film, and a joy to watch and lose yourself in for a couple of hours.

10 The Sixth Sense – Despite the fact that I got the twist really early in the film I still enjoyed it. The acting was great, the story was great, and the direction was great. What more do you need in a film?

Length? I could witter on about films all day!

3!
Watership Down is god like!

It's an incredibly dark film for kids, but I've been informed that it's a lot lighter and nicer than the book!

Got to love Ke-Arr though - "You stupid bunnies!"

The Film
is a lot lighter than the book, I suggest you read it.

If I ever have kids I'm going to traumatise them with this film over and over again.

much bad traumatisation
That was the first ever video I watched when we got our very first tv and VHS. I don't remember much except bunnies, death and one crying Miss Kitty, but I still cringe inside when I think of it.
