Let’s Go To The Movies – 50 Favourite Films!
This is something I have been putting together for quite a long time now and I have held off posting it or even attempting to start the blog post in fear that I have forgotten and somehow missed a favourite film from the list. Barring in mind I got up to 72 films and then had to cut it down to the 50. I would like to make clear these are my favourite films, some might have happened to win Oscars as well and some certainly have not at all. The way I have decided on my favourites is the sheer joy they bring and the number of rewatches I have had over the years. While I have listed 1-50 a lot of them can be shifted around and changed with each other. It is going to highlight my love for musicals and for certain actors and actresses! I doubt it will contain many surprises though!

News of the World (2020) Review
Captain Kidd was a Civil War veteran who agrees to take a young girl back to her aunt and uncle after she had been taken by the Kiowa people many years before. The journey across Texas was never going to be an easy one.

I signed up for Letterboxd way back in 2015. Yes, really! Although I didn’t actually start using it properly until the end of 2019 and therefore 2020 was the first full year that I logged every single film that I watched. Albeit not as many Cinema films as I would have liked, which leads me on to saying during the lockdown/furlough stage I spent a lot of time logging in the diary all of the films I had seen at the Cinema dating back to 2003 (yes, I still have my Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ticket). This obviously took a few weeks as I also logged the films I have review on here as well. So as you imagine a lot of time was taken to do this. It gives some amazing all-time stats though.
Here we can take a look at my 2020 stats and I am sure no one will be surprised with my most watched films either!
The Da Vinci Code (2006) Review
When a murder occurs inside the Louvre with clues left in Da Vinci paintings this puts Robert Langdon directly involved. This could all lead to a religious mystery which has been protected by a secret society for over two thousand years.

Based on the true story of the friendship that was built between Fred Rogers and journalist Lloyd Vogel who was only supposed to have one interview and write a short piece. This developed into something so much more than he could have ever imagined.
