Perfect films

What films wouldn’t you change a moment of?

Ive just watched Billy Elliot and I think it’s absolutely perfect. The characters, the set, the very palpable despair displayed by the miners during strikes - anyone familiar with these areas know that these places have barely progressed as a direct result of Thatcher’s destruction. I feel that somehow came across in the movie.

The ending 🥺 it’s actual perfection

Love old movies!

You've got mail.

I love it, my favourite romcom. I was really young when I first saw it and I wouldn't change a single minute.

Also going to put in a vote for Gladiator.

Currently watching Terminator 2, it is still a fantastic movie, even if the effects are not as amazing 33yrs later.

I love a film based on real events.

Agree on About Time- it’s gorgeous!

Also think Home Alone is the perfect Christmas film!
