Favourite Films and Recommendations

Hello!

I've always enjoyed watching films, not really at the cinema (bad eyesight for the win!), but a good DVD or a Sky+ recording sets me up for a couple of hours so I thought I'd make a post about some that I've enjoyed over the years, and then some that I've watched in the last couple of weeks, with their trailers. So if you're stuck for something to watch, maybe this list can help you narrow it a bit. I'm no expert and I'm sure you won't like everything I've chosen, but everyone is different and that's what makes life fun!
