Just watching Prince of Egypt for the nine millionth time. I have loved it since it’s release when I was 7 years old and know it word for word! I can’t imagine I will ever get bored of it. Does anyone else have a film like this?

Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility is my all time favourite film and my go to when I am feeling ill or sad. I love every single minute of it, even the closing credits.

Streets of Fire. Nobody has ever heard of it but it's fab.
Highlander - the original with the crap special effects.
The Legend of the Golden Gun - a dumb dated western which I adore and desperately want on DVD but isn't available ANYWHERE.

Yanks, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, Finding Nemo, Titanic, Love Actually and The Great Escape...
