Thirteen of my favourite films, that I own on DVD cause otherwise we might be here for a while

  1. Dog Soldiers dir. Neil Marshall. I adore this film. It has soldiers, and werewolves, and humour, and blood and guts and gore. And Kevin McKidd. Brilliant.
  2. A Knight’s Tale dir. Brian Helgeland. This is just so very watchable. Fun and entertaining. And horses. And knights. What more could you want.
  3. LA Confidential dir. Curtis Hanson. What can I say? Great performance by Russell Crowe, I loved his character in this. And Guy Pearce’s performance was great too. Hell, everybody’s acting was great.
  4. The Lord of the Rings dir. Peter Jackson. Yes yes, three films, but I’m including them as one overall work. Because I can.
  5. Once Upon A Time in Mexico dir Robert Rodriguez. Best of this trilogy, imo. And Johnny Depp’s character. Fanatastic.
  6. Once Were Warriors dir. Lee Tamahori. Violent and depressing. But a great film.
  7. Open Range dir. Kevin Costner. I was totally surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. It has everything, violence, death, romance, gun fights, cuteness. And wonderful wonderful scenery.
  8. Withnail and I dir. Bruce Robinson. Sheer Genius.
  9. Pitch Black dir. David Twohy. Great sci-fi horror flick. Ignore the sequel, cause really, it has nothing to do with this film.
  10. The Lost Boys dir. Joel Schumacher. 80’s nostalgia how are ya? Plus, Keifer Sutherland goodness. All good.
  11. Brotherhood of the Wolf dir. Christophe Gans. I love this film. The cinematography is wonderful. The characters are great. The Beast is perfect. All in all it just works so well.
  12. Wedding Crashers dir. David Dobkin. Hilarious. Pure and simple.
  13. Moulin Rouge dir Baz Luhrman. Musical melodrama at its finest.
