This post was really hard to write as I have so many favourites, and I’ve probably forgotten loads, but I’ve managed to narrow it down to my top five. I think. For now.
The following is going to be an eclectic rollercoaster because my favourites are spread across the genres, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare for the weirdness that’s about to follow ๐
The Crow – This had to be in my top favourites because it’s so goddamn beautiful and also I’m just a massive goth at heart. Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the film follows Eric Draven, who is brought back from the dead to avenge his and his fiancรฉe’s deaths. Expect lots of violence and bad language. The soundtrack is just stunning, mixing a classical score from Graeme Ravell, with rock and metal from the likes of The Cure, Rage Against The Machine and Nine Inch Nails. There also some incredible speechs about life and death, narrated by Sarah, the young girl who was often looked after by Eric and his fiancรฉe, Shelley, as her mother is too off her face on smack to care.
10 Things I Hate About You – I love this film so much it’s unreal. It’s a modern-day twist on The Taming Of The Shrew by William Shakespeare. The film stars Julia Stiles as Kat, an out-spoken feminist teen, who seemingly hates boys and fun. Her sister, Bianca (played by Larisa Oleynik from The Secret World of Alex Mack) desperately wants to date the school stud Joey (Andrew Keegan), but her father refuses; unless Kat dates too. Cameron (Joesph Gordon-Levitt), the new boy at the school desperately wants to date Bianca so attempts to set up her sister with bad boy Patrick (Heath Ledger) by paying him to take her out on dates!
Interview with the Vampire – This film is also based on a book which was written as part of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. Despite a lot of nagtive press, Tom Cruise stars as the spell-binding Lestat, with Brad Pitt as the newly made vampire, Louis. The film follows their stories throughout the centuries and how turning a child (played by Kirsten Dunst) into a vampire changes everything. I love this film so much that when I went to New Orleans and San Fransisco, I actually went to some of the places where the film was set! (P.S Queen of the Damned was never, ever made and we do not talk about it!)
Coyote Ugly – Who doesn’t love a feel-good film about a girl trying to make it in the big city with her music? Add a dash of chronic stagefright, a bar where anything goes and a dose of sexy in the form of Adam Garcia and you’ve got yourselves a winner. Violet Sanford is a song writer who wants people to sing her songs, but moving to the big city, she soon finds out the only way for anyone to hear her songs is for her to sing them. And she can’t because she’s too scared. Whilst trying to get by, she takes a job at Coyote Ugly, a bar where they dance on the tables and hose down anyone who orders a tap water.
Underworld – Another vampire film for the list but this time the main character is the beautifully leather-clad Selene (played by Kate Beckinsale). The vampires have been at war with the lycans (werewolves) led by Lucian (Michael Sheen) for centuries, but when Selene discovers they’re stalking a human because his blood holds the key to unlocking a vampire/lycan hybrid, which is something the vampires Elders are dead against, she uncovers some dreadful truths about her maker and the secrets he’s been keeping.
You might have noticed I haven’t got any Disney films on the list; that’s because I have two separate posts on my favourite Disney films and my favourite Disney Pixar films ๐

If you like vampires, have you seen From Dusk til Dawn, it’s a Quentin Tarantino film? Definitely yes to The Crow, I have to watch this again now! I honestly couldn’t narrow it down to one favourite film as I like quite a wide mix of films.

I think ITV 2 went through a phase recently of showing Coyote Ugly all the time!! ๐ xx
I haven’t watched many vampire films and thats probably because I didn’t enjoy Twilight all that much, will maybe reconsider and give Underworld a go!

Underworld is definitely nothing like Twilight lol … I’d say Twilight was aimed at tweens whereas Underworld is more adult! x
YES YES YES TO 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU! Ive only seen Underworld Blood Wars but loved it!!! xxx
Is that the new one? I’ve not seen that yet but I want to!! xx
It is ๐ loved it! Xx
I definitely need to see it!! ๐ xx
I love Ten Things I Hate About You as well.
One of my favourite films is A Brief Encounter – I tend to prefer older films.
It’s such a fab film, and of course Heath Ledger was incredible in it!! I know it’s awful to say, but I’ve never seen that film!! I really must one day!! x
Stand By Me and Last of the Mohicans would have to be on the list ๐
I don’t think I’ve seen either of those films, thanks for the recommendations ๐
