Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Steven Spielberg

Classic. Instant classic. I watched this in a film studies class, and it has long been one of my favourites. A great start to the franchise. Harrison Ford is spectacular, as he always is, and the supporting characters are well rounded and the villains delightfully evil.

PS Thank God it wasn't Temple of Doom, I was sat next to a guy who looks the spit of Short Round, and I never could have kept a straight face.

Fight Club (1999) - David Fincher

I had to write an essay on a film, taking into account the Joseph Campbell book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and so I chose Fight Club, because I know it very well, and could write a bit about it. I've been suffering from Writer's Block recently though, so it was more difficult than I had anticipated. I even watched the film with commentary on, whilst struggling for ideas. The commentary was interesting, but a lot of what Helena Bonham Carter was saying didn't seem to fit with the film that was on screen, it was poorly edited into the parts with the boys talking, and that was a real shame, because she made some very good points.

The Mighty Ducks (1992) - Stephen Herek

Utter shit. I'm not even going to review the other two films that I was forced by my flatmates to watch in a double bill, because they were equally poor: D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) - Sam Weisman or D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996) - Robert Lieberman. This was awful. Just so awful.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) - Adam McKay

It was good, but it makes me wonder when Adam McKay and Will Ferrell are going to complete their 'average American man' trilogy.
Not as good as the original, but still some big laugh out loud moments.
