Only recently I watch a movie that I hadn't seen in years, and realised that movie had to go on my 'favourite movie list.' And then I realised that I have left out so many amazing movies from that list, so I have decided to expand on it, starting with:
One Day
It is a heart-warming film about friendship: the friendship between the characters Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew. These greatly contrasting characters (working-class and practical Emma, alongside the flamboyant and wealthy Dexter) have a close chemistry that the audience has the pleasure of watching on one day of each year, allowing us to witness the growing of characters and seeing the true strength of friendship and the love shared between the two. It is a film that makes you smile and cry, cry and smile; it is a film of a journey filled with the ups and downs of life, presented in a unique way. This is a story that I can never get tired of watching, as it is so beautifully written and acted.
P.S. I love you
The first time I watched this film, I used an entire packet of tissues. I was crying that much! And to this day, the emotions that are displayed in the film, still affect me. It is about the following months of Holly, after the death of her husband. With flashbacks of Gerry (her husband) and his beautiful Irish accent and seeing how caring he was, that is one of the most tear-triggering techniques that cause the water-works to keep coming. On the event of her 30th birthday, Holly receives the first of many letters from her dead husband, instructing her to do certain things each month, allowing Holly to enter a journey of rediscovery and finding a way of living without Gerry. And this is the premise of the movie, which I highly recommend to watch.
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Changing the genre completely now, is this brilliantly funny teen movie with classic lines, about a fourteen year old girl, Georgia and her obsession with boys, more specifically, the new guy at school, Robbie. As I said before, it is a really funny film, as we watch Georgia's attempts to attract Robbie's attention, and watching her plans backfire, and quite often humiliate. The film looks into the common issues that are present in friendships, and also in families, as well as seeing the growing maturity of Georgia (well, the maturity of a young teenager). It is an easy, fun watching film, that I absolutely love the soundtrack to, featuring: 'She's so lovely' by Scouting for girls; 'Sugar mouse' by Oh, Atoms; 'The Show' by Lenka; and the fictional band Stiff Dylans's song 'Ultraviolet.'
