Description

It's not deep, or gripping, or thrilling, and it's hardly trendy-bar in the west end sort of discussion as a film (or any other such perception of what 'great film' might be), but it does what a film like this should do. It makes you feel great and it's enjoyable. It doesn't force you to think, or anything like that. It entertains, and it's perfect on a rainy day, in your pjs.

Amélie

16 people recommended this item

Description

The first film I ever fell in love with, and the one I watch everytime I need some cheering up. Great acting, and a beautiful soundtrack, combined with a precisely perfect directorial hand and style of film just make this enchanting. If you want to be charmed, or just be reassured about love's place in the world, and where we all stand relative to that great factor in everyone's lives, watch this.

No,

seriously.

Do it.

Paris, Je T'Aime (Paris, I Love You)

Description

It's about love. Love of all kinds, love for everyone. Love in Paris. If you ever feel like love doesn't exist, or just doesn't for you, watch this film and be proved long. It'll make you cry, it'll make you laugh, it'll enchant you. It is a series of short films, and some are definitely not as good as others (I personally am not a fan of the one with Elijah Wood in it), but for each one that fails you another will be you up. My particular favourite is 'Place des Fetes'.

Unorthodox, beautiful. That's all you need to know. The right decision was made, I feel, about hiring musicians who can act, not actors who can sing. It's great. Watch it.

Description

Very cosy. Perhaps not for when you're really missing having a partner, unless you're in that state in which you are sad, and you want to indulge, because in a weird way that would make you very happy. If that's how you feel, then watch it! Basically, this is the story of a woman who loses her husband unexpectedly. However, upon her 30th birthday, she receives a letter from him, and it transpires that for the next year, he has written her letters and set her 'tasks' to help her move on, and to properly say goodbye. It's moving in parts, and although not groundbreaking cinema, it's a lovely film, and properly girly.

This is my favorite movie! Well, it's a tie with Zoolander. I love the cattiness, the drama, and the comedy. I am Regina George :)

Rebecca

First to recommend

Description

It's not fluffy, it's not lovely, it's a bit dark, but this is a day-in film completely. If you're looking for something classic, go for Rebecca. It's the tale of a young woman who marries a widowed man. The happy couple are all set to continue on with their new life, but it seems that there are traces of his previous wife everywhere...This film really is a must see. You'll hardly notice the time passing.

There is two things about this film which are just indisputably true- everyone has their Bridget Jones days, and everyone is capable of being loved.

Pride & Prejudice

8 people recommended this item

Description

The more modern version of the great Austen novel. Perhaps not as good as the BBC version, with the American ending being well and truly blasphemous in my opinion, but with a beautiful feel, a very capable and attractive cast an a very easy-going sense whilst watching, not to mention the shocking and consuming soundtrack.

Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)

6 people recommended this item

Description

More faithful than it's 2005 movie adaptation-sibling, this classic version of Pride and Prejudice stays true to the novel, and offers up what is, to me at least, the best Mr. Darcy there has ever been on screen. The feel is very much relaxed whilst sticking to its roots, and does not at all become boring or tiresome. The best thing about this version, where it definitely excels over the 2005 version, is surely in the portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet. If you're in search of a strong woman, then you will find her here.
