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.

I would have to go with Prometheus. I thought it was wonderful, but many Alien fans hated it.

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)

The Godfather Trilogy. If that counts as a franchise. If not, Terminator.

Dumbo.
‘Cheeky Nandos’ | Favorite Comedy
I’m not much for comedy, but I screamed at Borat.

The one thing that stood out in the film you allude to is Cate Blanchett. She’s incapable of giving a bad performance.
