Ok so there are of course a lot more than 100 films you just have to see, and these aren't necessarily all the best films but they are films you should have seen in your life time.
So stay with me till the end, in no particular order, here goes:
1.The Goonies (one of my all time favourites) -Great if you like 80s films, good vs bad and adventure!
2. Back to the Future- You really should have seen this already- absolute genius. ( I like the 2nd one as well)
3.Police Academy-Comedy and 80s
4.Grease- probably the best musical out there
5.Bend it like Beckham- a very British film with Keira Knightley at her worst but there's just something about it that makes you love it
6. Atonement- James McAvoy, what a beauty
7.Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone- and you can't watch the first and not watch them all so:
8.Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
9.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
10. Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire
11. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
12. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
13. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1
14.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2
15.The Lion King- there are so many great Disney films but if I wrote them all down then they'd take up the whole list so this is one of the very best.
16.Jaws- "we're gonna need a bigger boat"
17.Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring
18.Lord of the Rings the Two Towers
19.Lord of the Rings Return of the King
20.The Notebook-probably the greatest and most emotional love story of all time and of course it stars Ryan Gosling

36.The Hangover

40. The Boy in Stripped Pyjamas- I'd like to meet someone that didn't cry during this film.
41.Argo
42.Be Kind Rewind
43.Matilda- she has my name! Probably the best thing to come out of the 90s.

Ok here we go (behind schedule)
Argh blurghhh brrr ok. So I’ve been meaning to start this for a while but it seems the world is against me blogging, which is probably a good thing as I’ve never been very good at writing, but now I’ve actually started typing I’m really nervous.
There are two types of blog out there, the “wow this person is kinda cool and clever” blog and the “that person is such a loser, let’s read their blog for laughs” blog, so I’m really hoping that my blog ends up being the first option, with maybe a bit of the latter thrown in( no one’s perfect). Also my spelling and punctuation is crap so I apologise but if I can get an A* in English GCSE then you can forgive it also(let me brag about that it's all I have going for me aha).
My Dad suggested that I should write about something I love and my Mum has been blogging for a while about our family life, which is hilarious, so they have both inspired me to do this. I love films, so that’s what this blog is all about; old, new, good, bad, the films I’m looking forward to seeing etc. I’m going to be reviewing all sorts of movies, and talking about actors, directors blah blah you get the drift.
I go to the cinema, with my boyfriend, Sam, or friends, on average about twice a week, which seems a lot but our local cinema is only £4.99 all day every day, which is especially good on orange Wednesdays! I have seen some truly appalling films in the last few years because I have a crazy cinema addiction.
There’s still something so magical about the cinema going experience; sitting in the dark, surrounded by strangers, you’re completely oblivious to the outside world (unless you’re one of those annoying “I have to check my phone every 5 minute” types) coming out and hours have past, and you kind of forget your surroundings and it’s as if the film has transported you to another place or time. Maybe that’s just me, but as I’ve grown up I’m so relieved to find that when the magic of birthdays and Christmases has faded, the cinema magic still stays the same. This is really embarrassing but Sam always accuses me of whenever we come out of the cinema having this unrealistic expectation of life, and I guess it’s true, real life just isn’t like the films, and I really really wish it was!
So that's a bit about me and why I'm writing this blog. If you want give me any constructive criticism please feel free (in your nicest kindest words). Also if you want to recommend any films for me/readers to watch please do let me know.
