If you want a movie that will make you feel happy watch Priceless, a French movie with the lady from Amelie, just glorious!!

@SprayedWithDettol

Joker - Joaquin Phoenix is remarkable

In Bruges

I Walk the Line - another brilliant Joaquin Phoenix film

Rock and Roll’s Greatest Failure:John Otway the Movie (on Netflix) just a load of fun, John Otway is as mad as a box of frogs.

We went to John Otway's 5000th gig on Saturday. I love him. Tom Hanks-wise - Big and Splash are both pretty perfect. Roxanne - Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah Remains Of The Day Shadowlands

Roman Holiday! Gregory Peck is the handsomest man that ever lived.
To Kill A Mockingbird also.

I would watch The Last King of Scotland.

@beguilingeyes I love Gregory too, although the most handsome man ever was Paul Newman ❤️

No Escape- Owen Wilson tries to get his family out after a violent coup. The suspense was still incredible after a second viewing! Action packed from the start. We stumbled across it on a wet Saturday afternoon with no expectations. We found ourselves yelling at one point!

He throws his daughter from a roof doesn't he.

If you like The Talented Mr. Ripley try Ripley’s Game - adaptation of a later book in the series with John Malkovich. It’s amazing, one of my favourites. Hope you feel better soon!

Romy & Michelle's Highschool Reunion! Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are best friends who attend their highschool reunion (duh!). Feel like I could quote every line from this film Grin

Getting through some Tom hanks films today, downloaded them to the iPad as I think I'll be heading into hospital today, feeling absolutely shocking!
