Favourite Films

[Mufasa]

"Waking Ned Divine"
Something truly enthralling about this film - perhaps the characters. Perhaps that it was shot on Isle of Mann, or perhaps that it manages to take you to a place where what really matters is friendship and family.

"District 9"
For way too many reasons to even go into.
Not your typical sci-fi movie.

"Lost Horizon" (1937)
Saw this as a kid and loved the idea of Xanadu; the paradox of it.
I have a CD of the restored film, complete with set photos where the film was too damaged to restore. Audio is perfect.

For years, "Braveheart" was in my top ten. I suppose it still is, even with all of its inaccuracies.

"Forbidden Planet" (1956?)
Still one of the best made ever IMO.
