Hello You Lovely Lot!

I’m just going to start off this blog post by saying, please don’t hate me. I’m so bad at watching films. I will watch my favourites again and again (and by that I mean I watched Nativity in like October just because it’s one of my faves) but watching new films is something I’m not very good at. I just don’t like the idea of sitting for like three hours and putting myself through something that I won’t enjoy.

Since I moved in with Jack and Nicole I have seen so many new films. When we first started our second year we watched pretty much a film every night and it was usually a new one. I have seen films that I didn’t even know existed, films that I’ve been meaning to watch for years and films I never would have even thought about watching. It’s opened my mind a lot more. Nicole and Jack will always go ‘have you seen insert classic film here?’ and the answer will 9/10 times be no. They seem to think this is tragic and so, to save me, they complied a list of films I have to see. I have decided to name this list ‘Films to See by 20’ because I’m 20 in January (just quickly though, when did I get anywhere near 20) and I feel like 20 is a good age to have seen the ‘classics’ or their favourite films. I have since added to this list with films that Natalie suggested and this weekend I’m going to ask my Dad what films he thinks I should have seen by 20 and add those on to my list. I thought I would tell you all the list and, since I’ve already watched one, give you a mini review! I will talk about some films (if I have an excuse as to why I haven’t watched it) but some I have no idea what they’re about so there’s not much I can say!

SO, without further ado, here is…

FILMS TO SEE BY 20

Hunchback of Notre Dam

I love Disney and everyone who knows me should know that but this is just one that I haven’t seen! There’s a few that have escaped me (such as Mulan, Emperors New Groove and so on) but I have been told that this is just one I need to see.

Pretty Woman

Nicole told me what this was about the other day and the funny thing is that it does sound like a film I would love. However, my mum hardly ever watches films and she won’t watch a film twice so I never grew up watching films like this, it was always superheroes and other films that my Dad liked! However, I will watch ths one eventually.

First Wives Club

What Happens in Vegas

My Girl

Overboard

This one was added to the list because I was trying to explain ‘Before I Go to Sleep’ to Nicole and Jack and Nicole thought I meant this at first. The way Nicole described it made it sound really interesting so this is one I’m really looking forward to watching.

Ghost

I KNOW, I KNOW. I’ve never seen Ghost. It’s just a film that I’ve never had the urge tp watch I guess? I don’t even know what it’s about really, all I know is it’s on the list and so I’ll watch it.

My Sister’s Keeper
