The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - Jim Sharman

'Nuff said.

Ghost World (2001) - Terry Zwigoff

Does Thora Birch still exist? I haven't seen her in things since the 90s that I can think of. If she's dead or something I'll regret that comment, whilst Scarlett Johansson has gone from strength to strength. All the main stars in this film are good in it, especially Steve Buscemi. Nobody plays lovable loser quite like Steve Buscemi. His role in Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Quentin Tarantino, obviously makes us think of him as a bad tough guy, but there are so many layers in his acting ability, that any film with him in, is dragged immediately upmarket. I just found myself feeling so bad for him in this film, but it's an enjoyable cringe.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - Peter Jackson

This is my personal favourite Lord of the Rings. I'm not sure why: is it Sean Bean? Is it the camaraderie? Is it even the fact that Bilbo is the scariest baddie in this one? (You know what face I mean.) When I was younger, I rewound and rewound that bit just so I could pause it on his scary out of control-nes.

Cry-Baby (1990) - John Waters

The unmatchable John Waters when it comes to camp and cheesy musicals. Johnny Depp plays it magnificently dark in this underrated masterpiece. Bits don't make sense, but therein lies its beauty. It's sometimes so random, that the entertaining part is wondering what's going to happen next.

Starship Troopers (1997) - Paul Verhoeven

Very easy going film. Big Jim Rennie, also seen in Breaking Bad as Hank had a small role in this. Neil Patrick Harris, yes!

Mr Nice Guy (1997) - Sammo Hung Kam-Bo

Everybody loves a generic Jackie Chan movie, and this is a lovely bit of cheese for between university and Come Dine With Me. Jackie Chan Adventures was everyone's favourite children's show, and this film shows why! A simple thing, but enjoyable, nonetheless.

The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) - Anthony Minghella

I had no idea of the homosexual undertones of this film, which was probably the correct way to market it: make the message more poignant, so that people with right wing views would still go to see the movie and be a little cultured, rather than not going at all, purely for a homosexual protagonist.
Jude Law is still annoying, and very similar to the way he portrays his character in Wilde (1997) - Brian Gilbert.
I do, however, like watching films where I have no idea what's going to happen, as it makes certain moments (no spoilers) very surprising.
