...I need your help.
I recently signed up for a Love Film account and have currently been enjoying my 3 discs a month as Mr M and I have now instigated "Love Film Friday/Saturday" or whatever day of the week the disc happens to land on the doormat. The only snag is I've exhausted my 3 discs this month and now have to wait until my credits kick in again. I went for the lowest subscription but think I might have to up it!
I love films as you might well know but I'm struggling with inspiration of what to add to my list. It's for both of us to watch so has to be a good mix and not just the Robert Pattinson back catalogue (which clearly I already own anyhow) and we'll pretty much watch anything. So far recently we've watched Shutter Island (loved this), The Social Network (enjoyed this), The Hangover (laughed my socks off), Marley and Me (awwwww), What Happens in Vegas (liked this a lot) and The Proposal (also liked!). So quite a mixed bag.
This is where you guys come in. I want you to recommend films for me to watch - any genre, any actors, from any time. There's lots of films from the 80's and 90's I've not seen (like Top Gun. Nobody ever believes me when I say that.). Help me populate my list!
On the subject of films, I had a nice surprise from Warner Bros the other day - a big sack full of DVDs including a set of Scooby Doo DVDs in a Mystery Machine holder!
The kids can have the DVDs, but the lovely sack is all mine! It's all polka dotty inside and has jingle bells on it. I've pretended to be Santa on more than one occasion. Ahem. We've already watched Happy Feet - the kids loved that and my daughter was quite enamoured with the live action Scooby Doo film.
There's lots there to keep them occupied over the Christmas holidays which means children films do not need to be on my Love Film list. So come on, hit me with your favourite films that I may not have seen! I promise to report back and let you know what I thought of it.
love & kisses

My hubby is a huge film buff, and has recently introduced me to/forced me to watch the following:
ReplyDeleteThe Godfather (only the first one so far, LOVED IT!)
Frost/Nixon (Brilliant)
Little Miss Sunshine (feel-good)
American Beauty
There are others but I have forgotten!
Also, not sure if you can do TV programmes through Love Film as well, but we are currently hooked on the West Wing boxset. Rob Lowe is in it! YUM!
Oh, and Bridesmaids as well!
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren, great suggestions! I've seen American Beauty but not the others so will check them out. Yes can do TV programmes too - I've never seen the West Wing but Rob Lowe is enough to make me watch it!
ReplyDeleteOh and I saw Bridesmaids at the cinema, put it on my Christmas list. One of the funniest films ever!
Best movies I've watched this year (in no particular order) are The King's Speech, Black Swan, Catfish, Walk the Line, Gran Torino and Bridesmaids. Lovefilm is brilliant, I use it to catch up on TV series I've missed as well as movies.
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm a bit of a movie fiend, could ramble on for ages! Best this year I thought were Thor, Submarine and Super 8, I also love random stuff like Castaway, Wedding Crashers, Dan in Real Life, The Notebook.... Love Film just lowered the price of their 2 disc unlimited package to £9.99 a month I think, I use the 3 disc unlimited but I'm gonna downgrade to the 2 after Christmas, if you post at the beginning of the week I find you can get 2 lots in one week, good stuff! :)
