My Favourite Movies

Hi everyone I hope you all had a good Easter. Going back about 18 months ago, I did a post about my top 3 favourite movies, but since I absolutely love watching movies and I only talked about 3 of them, I thought I would jot down a list of a bunch of other ones I love too.

However, when I first had this idea and started writing down said list, I had no idea it would get quite so long, and that it was going to be so hard to choose between all the great ones I love to watch.  So I've narrowed it down. . . to 50, because there are just sooo many that I really enjoy and could watch (and have watched) over and over again :-)  And I still think I could add more!!

1. Twilight (all 5) - I will always love these ones
2. Dirty Dancing - my all-time fav, I've seen it over 65 times, yes really and I know every word :-)
3. The Labyrinth - loved it growing up, still love it now
4. Poltergeist - this was one of the first horror films I saw and I honestly think it's still one of the best.

5. The Host - love the film and the book, but love the film more!
6. The Amazing Mr Blunden - a wonderful old ghosty classic
7. Harry Potter (all of them) - just, of course!
8. Mortal Instruments - it's like Twilight meets Buffy!  Very cool
9. Cruel Intentions - another old favourite

10. The Craft - this is another one of those films that I could just watch over and over
11. Transformers (all 3) - so good, just so good!
12. Bridewars - sooo funny
13. Terminator 2 - love a bit of Arnie and this is definitely the best one
14. The Matrix (all 3) - still one of the coolest films ever, plus a brilliant soundtrack!

15. Fright Night - David Tennant fighting vampires :-)
16. Knowing - Nicolas Cage is in so many great movies and this is definitely one of them
17. The Mist - if you haven't seen it, see it!  Since watching The Walking Dead, I've got really in to apocalypse-type films, so this one and Knowing are really great for feeding my addiction :-)
18. Mean Girls - classic girly film
19. Romeo & Juliet - I actually really like Shakespeare so this is a long-term fav

20. Air - an hour and 35 minutes of Norman Reedus looking totally gorgeous, what's not to love ♥♥♥
21. Ghost Rider - what is it about a cool guy on a motorcycle, that can turn himself in to a deadly ball of flames, it's just so fun!
22. Stardust - this is again one of those movies that I will never tire of watching :-)
23. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - this is such a funny easy going film
24. Blade 2 - I love the effects in this movie, very cool and a great cast

25. Marvel Avengers - this is just such a fun, full on, action packed movie, I love it :-)
26. Dangerous Minds - love the soundtrack for this film and the whole story, it's brilliant
27. Friends With Benefits - just hilarious!
28. Moonwalker - I've always been a huge Michael Jackson fan so I just love this
29. Save the Last Dance - haven't seen this one in a while but I used to love it :-)

30. Cloud Atlas - wow, what an incredibly confusing but incredibly amazing film!!!  I just thought it was amazing
31. The Watcher in the Woods - a wonderful spooky old film
32. Spiderman - I love the older ones better
33. The Messengers 1 & 2 - these two are very different to each other, a completely different cast and I don't honestly know why they're called the same name, but they're both brilliant and very creepy
34. Ever After - I used to watch and watch this, it's so sweet

35. Hanover Street - this is a really old but really wonderful love story, it's so sweet and so romantic
36. Gremlins - who doesn't love that adorable little Gizmo!?
37. Kick Ass 1 & 2 - I have a secret love of action films and these are amazing :-)
38. Beaches - I've loved this one for so many years, it's so lovely and so sad!
39. Underworld - I absolutely love vampire movies and these ones are probably my absolute favourites

40. Boondock Saints 1 & 2 - since I have recently become a very big fan of Mr. Reedus over the last 5 months, I couldn't wait to start watching some of his many movies, and these two are now very much in my favourites :-)
41. Ghost - aww it's so lovely
42. Warm Bodies - this always makes me laugh so much
43. Blue Lagoon - I can still remember the first time I saw this film when I was a kid, it was so beautiful and I still love it now
44. The Never Ending Story - a brilliantly wonderful fantasy film, I just love the idea of how when you read a book it becomes real

45. Mama - this has got to be one of the creepiest horror movies I've seen, and it's so good!
46. 10 Things I Hate About You - another childhood favourite that I still love to see
47. Halloween - this might be an old one, but it's still so good and I love watching it on Halloween :-)
48. Whistle Down the Wind - this is definitely an old favourite, but it's so lovely
49. The Canterville Ghost - there's a couple of versions of this but the second one with Neve Campbell is my favourite, I absolutely love it :-)

50. and finally 50 Shades of Grey - even though I personally prefer the story in the books, I still really enjoyed the film, very saucy! lol

I hope you enjoyed looking through this post.  It was really fun to do and I'm amazed I thought of so many!  I'd love to hear your favourites, so please tell me about them in the comments :-)
Until Next Time Stay Happy ♥

My Top 3 - Movies

Everyone loves a good movie and the trouble is, I love SO many different ones, everything from horror and rom-coms to action and sci-fi, I have So, So many favourites - so for me to pick just 3. . . well let's just say this has been the most extremely difficult 'top 3' so far!  In my opinion, a movie can only make it on to a favourites list if, 1 - you know every word, 2 – you've watched it dozens of times and 3 if, the second it finishes, you just want to start watching it all over again immediately!  So for me these next 3 films are on this list for that exact reason.

Dirty Dancing, I LOVE this film SO much I have watched it at least 62 times!  No I'm not kidding!  And I know it word for word (remember "I carried a watermelon!" and "Nobody puts Baby in a corner").  It's a total classic, I love the story, the music and seriously how hot is Patrick Swayze in this film!?!  I first saw it back in about 1992 and I was just hooked straight away, I even saw it again a couple of weeks ago.  It's a film that just makes me happy and makes me feel good, I could easily watch it every day and not get bored of it, I did actually do that once for about a week, I know crazy!

Next is a film that I often find not that many people have heard of, The Labyrinth.

I first saw this when I was about 10 or 12 years old something like that, I quickly grew to love it and have done ever since.  I love the characters and the whole mystical feel of the film and the music is brilliant to.  It stars the amazing David Bowie looking very snazzy as the goblin king and wonderful creatures like Hoggle, Sir Didymus and dear little Worm!  Again I know it off by heart and could happily watch it again and again and again.

"Through dangers untold and hardships are numbered, I have fought my way here to the castle, beyond the Goblin city, to take back the child that you have stolen.  For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great.  You have no power over me!"
I just love that quote :-)

And of course best till last, Twilight :-)  Romance and vampires, what more could you want!

I have to admit, I was a little late on the bandwagon to catch on to the Twilight craze, I never read the books until after I'd seen Eclipse and I didn't even see the first film until about a year after it came out.  But of course there was one huge plus side to that, I didn't have to wait too long for New Moon!  Once I had watch the first film, I just fell in love with it completely, it's such a beautiful romantic story and I absolutely love the way it's all so subtle, it's not like most movies with the characters snogging every two minutes and jumping in to bed straight away!  It's gentle and charming, a proper love story, as Bella says, 'old-school' romance!

I still think I love the first film the most out of all 5 but of course you can't watch that one without following it with all the rest ;-)  I really don't think I can even write how much I love this film, it just wins hands down over everything else.  It is truly enchanting and wonderful and romantic and I honestly think I will love it forever.

So, so beautiful!

So, so good looking lol :-)

Blogger Plans

Hi everyone, welcome to my first blog post!  So, I thought I would start by telling you what type of posts you can expect to see on here.  I want to write about things I like and enjoy, and I hope you will find them interesting too.  I LOVE music (especially Linkin Park), crafts, Poodles, Magick & Wicca, make up, fashion, YouTube, shopping, singing and of course SHOES!! :-)  I'm hoping to do a room tour (once I've finally finished refurbishing my room and when it's a lot tidier!), I'll show you my make up collection and storage and tell you about my obsession of lipsticks. I'm looking forward to doing lots of makeup and product reviews, as well as showing you shopping hauls and 'outfit of the days', I'll tell you about craft projects I'm working on (because I just love to customize everything!), my gorgeous Poodles and my general life!  I also have a health condition called Fibromyalgia, so I will tell you about how I deal with that.

So hopefully there will be something for everyone and I would love to have you follow me along my journey, quite literally :-)

Please feel free to leave any helpful comments or tips, as I'm a newbie to blogging and welcome all suggestions and if there's a particular product you would like me to review, just let me know and if I can get hold it (and afford it!), I will let you know what I think of it.
