TOP 5 FAVOURITE FILMS
My initial thought for this task of listing my 5 favorite films was to ask myself, what actually makes a film one of my favourites? To me I think that your favourite films are ones that you can watch over and over again without getting bored of the same film. Also good music and soundtracks are also aspects that appeal to me in films. With that in mind I have narrowed down my top 5 favourite films:
The Breakfast Club(1985)
Director- John Hughs. Other films: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty In Pink, Home Alone.
This film is one of my favourites because I love the story line of five individuals who all have completely different backgrounds and they bond over a Saturday detention, and as the story progresses they start to learn more about each other and how some of the characters normally put on a facade but then they start to let that go when they get to know each other better. Also I like the soundtrack to this film.When people see a picture of the ending scene they associate that with the song 'Don't You Forget About me' that was written by Keith Forsey for the film,which the Simple Minds band sung after Billy Idol and Bryan Ferry turned down the offer.
Reservoir Dogs(1992)
Director-Quentin Tarantino Other films: Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained.
Reservoir Dogs is one of my favourite films for many reasons: It has a good story line, the chemistry between the characters is varied, it has a good soundtrack and it has an unexpected and unusual ending.
Also another thing I like about this film is that in the beginning it takes place after the event of the diamond heist and throughout the film it shows us the different perspectives of what each person did previously one by one. It also deals with trust mystery and betrayal in this film.

10 Things I hate About You also makes it onto my top five favourite films. Similar to The Breakfast Club this film might appeal to me because of the similar age range to the characters therefore, it is easier for me to empathise with them. It is a light hearted comedy which also deals with prejudice. This film was originally based around Shakespeare's play, The Taming of the Shrew which they incorporate into the film. It also gives us an understanding that people are wrongly perceived and how
judgements can speculate without knowing anything about the person.
Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back(1980)
Director- Irvin Kershnerother films: Robo Cop 2, Never Say Never Again, Eyes Of Laura Mars.

As soon as I heard the title of this task I straight away thought of Star Wars. However, it's my top 5 favourite films not trilogies. It was a tie between Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes back. I mean come on, who didn't like the cute yet dangerous Ewoks in Return of the Jedi? However, I then remembered the spectacular scenes in The Empire Strikes back such as the snow scene and one of the biggest cinematic reveals of all time. Also in this film I like the character's development and snide remarks.
Now You See Me(2013)
Director-Louis Leterrier other films:The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans, The Transporter
This film is one of my favourites because I like the way how they have taken what most people think to be a childish concept (magic)and turned it into something serious that involves higher authority such as the FBI. Furthermore, I also like the chemistry between the characters and I like how this film has a good balance of comedy and seriousness. Another thing that I very much like about this film is the theme song which was performed by Brian Tyler who is an American composer, he has also worked with and composed music for a lot of the Marvel films. Also the sequel to this film I think is as good as the first one so I highly recommend that you watch that one as well.
Thank you for reading my top 5 favourite films.
