The wonderfully fabulous that is Gill has tagged me to answer some questions. I’m very happy and delighted she thought of me. Now I will admit that I’m late to answering this, as some will probably guess from some of the Christmas themed questions, but it’s still fun to take part. Now I will follow the rules and let me answers be known.
All I Want For Christmas is You | Which DVD/Blu-Ray would you like to receive this year?
I’d love to get the Indiana Jones collection on Blu-Ray.
Jingle Bell Rock | Favorite soundtrack or song from a Christmas film?
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas from Meet Me in St. Louis
Let it Snow | 3 of your favorite Christmas films…
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Home Alone
Donald Trump | A film that divides opinion…
Anything by Lars Von Trier runs the gamut from being hated to be exalted. Check Breaking the Waves and Melancholia
Brexit | Favorite British Film…
That honour goes to Black Narcissus
Fidel Castro | A film that divides opinion… A film considered culturally significant
I’d have to say The Godfather. It is a benchmark in cinema after all and so many since it have taken influence from it.
Starbucks | Favorite Film Franchise…
Would have to be the James Bond series, so iconic
McDonald’s Happy Meal | Favorite Childhood Film…
Definitely The Lion King by a mile.
‘Cheeky Nandos’ | Favorite Comedy
I would have to say Hot Fuzz, laughed so much when I saw it
One film you want all of your followers to watch…
A film called He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. It proves that there really are two sides to every story and is ridiculously underrated.
Now I will nominate people to take part in this( but if you don’t want to, there is no pressure)
If if you want to take part, just copy and paste the questions and answer them. It is that simple, then tag other bloggers for the fun to continue. Here’s the template if you wish to copy it.

Thanks for thinking of me Vinnie.You’ve got to get the Indie series ASAP!
I could never forget you. I hope to get that box set.
I won’t ask others, V, but I will happily answer the questions here.
All I Want For Christmas is You | Which DVD/Blu-Ray would you like to receive this year?
I would like The Assassin, a Chinese film from 2016.
Jingle Bell Rock | Favorite soundtrack or song from a Christmas film?
Same as you. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

That’s a stretch for me.
It’s A Wonderful Life.
Bad Santa.
Jack Frost.
Donald Trump | A film that divides opinion…
I would have to go with Prometheus. I thought it was wonderful, but many Alien fans hated it.
Brexit | Favorite British Film…
That’s a really hard one. OK, Get Carter (1971)
Fidel Castro | A film that divides opinion… A film considered culturally significant
La Haine (France, 1995)
Starbucks | Favorite Film Franchise…
The Godfather Trilogy. If that counts as a franchise. If not, Terminator.
McDonald’s Happy Meal | Favorite Childhood Film…
Dumbo.
‘Cheeky Nandos’ | Favorite Comedy
I’m not much for comedy, but I screamed at Borat.
One film you want all your followers to watch.
Easy. Come and See. (Russia, 1985)
Cheers mate, Pete.
Le Haine had a big impact on me when I saw it in college. Good to see a shout out for The Godfather Trilogy. Come and See has been added to my list.
‘The Idiots’ is another very interesting film from Lars Von Trier as well as ‘The Kingdom’ It’s a long movie, but very entertaining.
I’ve not seen either but Von Trier sure knows how to get a reaction from people!
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas…love it. But…what I also love is watching that song playing on the television in Family Stone. Really enjoy that scene.
That’s a good movie, a very accomplished cast.
Hey Vinnie – thanks for taking part x I was late in replying to my tag too – Thoughts of All Sorts tagged me around Christmas time and only saw the post in March x Great choice of times- Hot Fuzz is a favourite in our house too (so was compulsory review) X So off to start my Somethings Gotta Give post, as promised xx
Hot Fuzz is so funny, laugh every time I watch it.
I’ve reviewed it of course – couldnt not with Timothy Dalton hamming it up, Shaun of the Dead is on the review pile xx
Dalton really has a ball doesn’t he?
Definitely x I half expected him to twirl that moustache and laugh menacinglyin every scene he was in x
Haha, that would have been funny. By the way, I can’t wait to see your Something’s Gotta Give review.
I’m on it xx Have you started on Californication?
Not yet.
Not to worry – there are tons of blogathons coming up x
This is my Christmas-themed film tag that I created! 😂 Haha! Nice answers mate 👏🏻
I thought it looked familiar Richard.
Aw the Lion King 🙂 – you’re so young but I STILL love that one!!!
I still adore it too. It will never get old for me.
Me either
A definite classic.
Oh how about homeward bound – LOVE that one too!!
Yes I have very fond memories of that movie.
I watched it about a zillion times with my kids and still love it! That and my son’s Ninja turtle and 3 ninjas movies!
Good movies always hold up, no matter how many times you view them. That’s the joy of it all.
Would that Indiana Jones collection include that one film we dare shall not speak of?
I was thinking more of just the original trilogy.
Ah…. I still think of it as a trilogy as well. I wish I never saw that one film though we shall not speak of.
The one thing that stood out in the film you allude to is Cate Blanchett. She’s incapable of giving a bad performance.
Actually, I didn’t think she was good in that. I blame George Lucas for giving her a bad character.
The thing is, did they really need to make another film. I mean , I worship Spielberg and everything but really, was there any point in making another entry.
No. I blame George Lucas for this one. I’m sure Spielberg has regrets about it.
Yes, I’m sure he does. Though Spielberg has made do many classic films, this one can be forgotten.
I’d rather watch Hook and everything else he’s done than another second of Indy meets aliens.
I very much agree. Spielberg is one of my favourite movie directors ever.
All I Want For Christmas is You | Which DVD/Blu-Ray would you like to receive this year?
Peeping Tom and Inside Out. Peeing Tom would probably have terrible extras but it belongs in my collection.
Jingle Bell Rock | Favorite soundtrack or song from a Christmas film?
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree from Home alone.
Let it Snow | 3 of your favorite Christmas films…
Die Hard, While you were Sleeping and Home Alone
Donald Trump | A film that divides opinion…
I don’t like Love Actually much
Brexit | Favorite British Film…
The Third Man. Flawless movie. Long been my favourite ever film.
Fidel Castro | A film that divides opinion… A film considered culturally significant
Do The Right Thing. A film that asks so many questions.
Starbucks | Favorite Film Franchise…
James Bond I guess. But I do need to see more of them.
McDonald’s Happy Meal | Favorite Childhood Film…
Wasn’t into movies much as a boy. I was far more into cartoons.
‘Cheeky Nandos’ | Favorite Comedy
Clerks is hilarious. More slapstick wise Naked Gun.
One film you want all of your followers to watch…
Peeping Tom. Criminally misunderstood when first released. Makes me so mad to think about how it killed the career of its director.
You know I have yet to see Peeping Tom, but I’ve heard so much about it over the years.
Having read so many of your reviews I’m pretty sure you’ll love it. know how many others are on your To Be Seen list but will love your take on it when you do.
It’ll be added near the top of my list.
And I love the inclusion of Die Hard in Chrismtas movies.
I’ve never liked traditional Christmas films as much as everyone else seems to. one of my quirks I guess. I woudn’t normally post links but your post reminded me of this. No worries if you don’t want to do it but think you’ll ace it if you do
https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2015/12/19/film-quizzes-feel-good-christmas-films/
Posts as many links as you want mate. I’ll give the quiz a browse soon.
That’s ok. I know it’s frowned upon here. You have a pretty high average but think you might get 100%.
Not frowned upon at all, I accept any links. Will have to see if my quiz brain is still active.
🙂
I enjoyed your answers, The Godfather would be one of my selections. Which reminds me, I’ve still got to post my own answers to this tag. I’d better get on with it!
The Godfather is champion. And I was happy to refresh your memory, Paul.
hi there Vinnie
I nominated you for an award
https://aloversmuse.wordpress.com/2017/04/29/the-mystery-blogger-award/
Thanks so much Rebecca, I’m a bit busy at the minute, but will get around to viewing your post and taking part.
oh sure! you are welcome! 🙂
I promise to get to it. In the meantime, please give my erotica blog a look. I value your opinions.
i am going to take a look
You’re so nice.
Thank you Vinnieh for including me in this tag. I am interested in trying to make the effort for this post, despite not feeling too well but i think i can manage as it is not too lengthy. This madame is grateful. ☺
I was happy to nominate you. But seriously there is no pressure to do the post. If you don’t feel well, rest up and get better. I totally understand what it’s like being not well. Hopefully you’ll be right as rain again soon.
I love James Bond. Who’s your favorite actor to play 007?
James Bond is my hero. Sean Connery would be by my pick. But each actor has brought something different to the proceedings.
I like Connery, P. Brosnan and D. Craig. I’m curious who will be the next one.
Yes, it will be interesting to see who is the next incarnation of 007.
Hi there Vinnie! Just wanted to say hello, sorry I’ve been absent as I haven’t got time to do anything else but focus on my short film. Hope you’re well. Glad to see you love Love, Actually too 😀
Nice to hear from you Ruth. Wishing you every success in your filmic venture. Love Actually is lovable in the extreme.
Really fun choices!! I love Godfather! And Lion King, Indiana Jones and Hot Fuzz are all brilliant movies (for completely different reasons!)
Yes, they all stand out for a variety of reasons. Nothing beats The Godfather.
Absolutely!
The variety of movies is what I cherish the most.
Yes, definitely!
