'Ever After' with a young Drew Barrymore.

The most underrated movie ever. It's beautiful, I LOVE IT.

the Paddingtons - I’ve got people in my life who won’t watch them because “they’re for kids”. They don’t know what they’re missing.

Skyfall, try it even if you don't watch Bond films.

When I’m feeling down I always put on a Jane Austen movie, usually P&P with Kiera Knightly and Rosamund Pike.

It was P&P 1995 AND the Kiera Knightly one. But I've gone off the historical dramas and am at sea. So looking for recs too!

High Fidelity. I know every word and still love it so much. Sometimes I just play a bit in my head for the comfort when I don't have a DVD player to hand.

Also Con Air or Die Hard if in that sort of mood.

Or Little Women, the Winona Ryder one

Agreed, though I prefer the Greta Gerwig little women

Crazy, Stupid Love. It's so funny, I just love it. Emma stone is great, Ryan Gosling is great and Steve Carell is the GOAT

WingingItMam48 · 15/10/2024 21:13

Either of the Downton abbey films or if it's Christmas either Get Santa or Home Alone.
