The Movies Tag

Sometimes all you want to do is curl up in bed with a cup of tea, some form of tasty snack and watch a movie. There is often no better way to spend a couple of hours! I remember seeing Sammi from +beautycrush do this tag absolutely ages ago, and I thought I would give it a go. 

So here are the questions:

1. Favourite movie of all time?
Pocahontas, anyone who remotely knows me will know that this is not only my favourite Disney film, but my favourite film EVER! 

2. Favourite scene from that movie?
There are so many to choose from, but if I had to choose it would be the end scene when John Smith has to go back to England and she knows she has to stay behind. Every time that ship sails and she runs to that cliff I cry like it is the first time!

3. Favourite actors/actresses?
Favourite actors would be, Ryan Gosling, James Marsden, Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp and Favourite actresses would be, Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock, Emma Stone and Maggie Smith. 

4. Most annoying actors/actresses?
Two that come to mind almost instantly would be Kristen Stewart and Anne Hathaway. 

5. Favourite director(s)?
Baz Luhrmann, if you look through my film collection you will see that there are quite a few - Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge, I could go on a while.

6. Guilty pleasures?
My guilty pleasures would be full on teen romantic comedies, in the likes of A Cinderella Story, She's The Man and Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

7. Favourite tearjerker?
Some form of Nicholas Sparks film would probably fit this questions quite well, The Notebook or A Walk To Remember are my personal two favourites for when I want a good cry.

8. A character from a movie that scared you the most?
Going old school for this answer and choosing the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as a chid I was terrified and to this day that scene in the toy shop still scares me. 

9. Movie you love but everyone hates?
Pride and Prejudice, the version with Keira Knightly in, is a movie I have always loved, but every film critic under the sun, including my mum and old English teacher slated! Don't get me wrong the movie is definitely missing a certain Colin Firth, yet nonetheless I still think it captures the romance and the style of what a Jane Austen movie should be.

10. Movie that hate but everyone loves?
Although I do understand why people love it, I just cannot, and that is Lord of the Rings. I realise that most people will disagree with me, but I find it very difficult to enjoy movies which are 3 hours of elves and dwarfs trailing along a mountain looking for a ring. 

11. Favourite movie duo?
I absolutely loved Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in the Sherlock Holmes films, and in more recent times I have loved the combination of Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel in both Bad Teacher and I now really want to see their new film Sex Tape.

12. Favourite animated films?
Well if we aren't mentioning Pocahontas again, it would of course be other Disney films, such as Hercules, The Aristocats and Tangled.

13. Actor/Actress you have a crush on?
There was an entire post dedicated to this, so I would revert you there for all things celebrity crush related! 

14. Favourite movie villain?
Classic answer here appealing to the massive Harry Potter fan that I am, Voldemort. The ultimate villain, seriously scary and yet awesome at the same time, plus Ralph Fiennes is incredible.

15. A movie that surprised you?
A movie that I was surprised I enjoyed was The Impossible, as it could not be further from my usual type of film. The film is the true story of a family involved in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami with Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, and oh wow this movie is incredible, I have watched a film that is such a genuine emotional rollercoaster. 

Some other honourable mentions - Amazing Spiderman, Legally Blonde, Gnomeo and Juliet, Pirates of the Caribbean
