Top Movies of 2017

A little bit later than usual but not forgotten that's for sure as this is one of my favourite posts to write each year. Choosing this years movies was actually very difficult with so many amazing ones gracing our screen, hence why my usual ten has turned in to eleven for this year.


One thing I am going to say is that so many of these movies this year had such incredible soundtracks that I haven't stopped listening to since seeing the movie. In no particular order here we go ...

La La Land
Now I'm not a massive lover of musicals I will tell you that now and which might shock some people I cannot stand Mamma Mia or Hair Spray but there are some I absolutely love and La La Land was one of them. I have to admit I didn't know it was actually a musical I had just seen how many awards it was up for and all the good reviews and decided to go and luckily I loved it otherwise it could have been a long few hours.

From the moment the first song started I just knew it was a film I was going to love. The on screen chemistry from Emma and Ryan was perfect making the movie enjoyable along with the story, settings and soundtrack making me fall in love.

The Greatest Showman
The moment I saw the trailer for this movie I had to go and see it without a doubt the trailer its self looked incredible alone and another movie that from the moment it began I fell in love and instantly knew I needed to see it again.

The casting was spot on throughout and especially with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron both two beautiful men. The soundtrack to this movie is another incredible one which I haven't stopped listening to since I saw it in the cinema. The movie was so upbeat and incredible done.

Girls Trip
I didn't actually see Girls Trip in the cinema as I had no one to go with and I wasn't sure if it was going to be a lot like bridesmaids but a friend of mine lent me the DVD over Christmas and I have to admit I haven't laughed that much in agessss and I mean proper tears running down my face laughter.

What a brilliant movie with hilarious stupid moments which I could totally see happening on many girls trip and I look forward to seeing it again.

Baby Driver
Another movie with another incredible soundtrack and anyone who has seen this movie will totally agree that the music just fits in so well with each scene. Such an amazing cast as well for the film with the main character called Baby being played by Ansel Elgort who is one of my favourites along with Lily James another actress I adore. The movie is about Baby who is a get away drive who relies on the sound of music to be the best around and that he is!

Beauty and The Beast - Live Action
Ever since the announcement of this movie I had been so excited for it to be released especially when then they went and announced the cast and shown a preview trailer. Even though some people weren't happy with Emma Watson playing Belle I couldn't have been more happier with being a Harry Potter lover as well as Dan Stevens playing the beast.

I actually went to see this movie 3 times in the cinema thats how much I loved the movie, everything about it was perfect the attention to detail and also another amazing soundtrack. My favourite song from the original movie was Be Our Guest and it was done so well I loved it.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle 
First thing I'm going to say is why did they have to kill his pug :( yes I know his girlfriend then goes and gets him the most adorable new little pug but come on whyyyyyy! Anyways now we are past that extremely sad moment the rest of the movie was amazing, I loved that there is another spy organisation in the United States which Channing Tatum was part of and especially how the movie ended meaning there must be a 3rd one coming at some point.

The Lego Batman Movie
With The Lego movie being such a huge success, when this was announced I just knew it was going to be an amazing movie. Yes its meant to be for kids but this movie has so many adult references and funny scenes that makes it great for all ages.

Hidden Figures
I knew from the trailer I had to see this movie with there being such a great cast chosen to re tell this incredible story of the 3 ladies that helped with the space launch.

Guardians of The Galaxy: Vol 2
As soon as the first movie finished at the cinema I just wanted there to be a second film so bad and when he flipped over that tap and it said Vol 2 on the other side we just knew it was coming. It was worth the wait for such an amazing movie and cast which has you laughing throughout even though there are some sad scenes its an incredible movie with another amazing soundtrack!

Spiderman: Homecoming
How many Spiderman movies do we need? Lots apparently but this one is by far the best one yet, I love that we got to meet our new Spiderman during the most recent Captain America movie and since that point on I was very excited for this movie as Tom Holland was such a good choice.

There is something about this movie that just feels different to the rest of them. Its fresh, funny and not like the usual movies that were released before this one. I can't wait for more.

Paddington 2
Who doesn't love Paddington? The first movie was so good and such a cute movie that when they announced the second I was so excited. These movies are just such good feel films and are perfect for any age young or old. I do have to admit I did shed a tear during this movie as it got a little sad in some places and plus he's just so cute. 

There are still so many movies that I loved in 2017 and that didn't make it in to my Top 10 list but this year these are some of my favourites, What movies have you seen this year that you really enjoyed?

I actually think 2018 is going to be my hardest post for movies with Disney having an incredible line up this year so we will have to see with Coco already making it on to the list and the year hasn't even  really began yet.

Update: Top Ten Disney Movies

So I feel that it's time for an update on my top ten Disney movies, my original post was posted way back in November 2014 which you can read here and happens to be one of my most viewed posts. Last time I actually didn't include any Pixar movies so this time around there will be a couple on my list!


So like last time here is a list of all my favourite movies before I narrow them down to my top ten and if you compare my original post to this one you will notice some have stayed and some have moved out of the top ten as new movies are released.

Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and The Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Aristocats, Robin Hood, The Rescuers, The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver and Company, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Toy Story, Pocahontas 2, A Bugs Life, Toy Story 2, The Emperors New Groove, Lady and the Tramp 2, Monsters Inc, Cinderella 2, Mulan, Mulan 2, Ratatouille, Bolt, Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, Toy Story 3, Monsters University, Big Hero 6, Coco, Moana, Zootopia, Inside Out, Wreck It Ralph, Nightmare Before Christmas and Finding Dory.

1. Pocahontas
2. Coco
3. Zootopia
4. Tangled
5. Robin Hood
6. Ratatoullie
7. Mulan
8. The Emperors New Groove
9. Cinderella
10. Moana

As you can see taking a look at my new list movies have defiantly come and gone from my list and that’s not because I don’t like them anymore it’s just what I’ve been watching recently had changed. Like my massive love for Mulan at the moment where I could watch it every day if I could and Emperors New Groove has always been a favourite of mine but recently after watching it with my partner we keep doing little bits from the movie and it’s just funny meaning it’s crept up on to the top 10. Who knows where things my stand in another 4 years time we will have to see!

Which are your favourites?

Top Movies of 2016

I love looking back at the last 12 months deciding out of the many movies that were released in 2016 which of them will make my Top 10 for the year. Its hard because often I will write my list and then remember a movie that I had totally forgotten about whoops!


So here we go in no particular order my top 10 movies for 2016;

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
When I found out that JK was going to be doing another movie and she decided to base it off one of the school text books I was over the moon and so began the countdown to the release of the film. 

I instantly feel in love with this movie it was like being back in the magical world again but this time surrounded by new faces and places it was amazing. I am obsessed with the movie and cannot wait for it to come out on DVD. Plus Eddie was the perfect choice to play Newt.

Me Before You
I have never read the book before watching this and all I had heard was great things about the book so it is currently on my bookshelf waiting to be read but the film is incredible the one screen chemistry is just perfection. Yes at the same time its such a sad movie but it was very well done.

Zootopia
Although its name was changed for the UK release it will always be Zootopia to me. Disney have done it again with this movie that is doe sure full of meaning and moral stories about being able to do anything you want even if you are a bunny ;) I just love the characters, settings and the hidden Easter eggs in this animation.

Moana
I can honestly say its been an amazing year for Disney with both they're animation and live actions movies and the latest Princess instalment didn't disappoint. Just the whole movie had that feel good feeling with a cracking soundtrack that has been on repeat ever since!

Finding Dory
The long awaited Finding Nemo spin off did not disappoint! Who doesn't love Dory, Nemo and Marlin? And after 13 long years we finally had what everyone was waiting for and it was perfect and had such a great range of new characters! I love Gerald haha!

In my opinion I think it was actually better than Finding Nemo!!!

Captain America:Civil War
I LOVE Captain America he is one of my favourite superheros from the Marvel series and I have loved pretty much every Marvel movie but this one just tops it for me and is my favourite. What I love about they're movies are they aren't over the top serious and have so much comedy in them as well. Especially the scene at the airport where they are fighting Spiderman and Ant man just crack me up. 

Divergent Series: Allegiant
Best one out of the series so far in my opinion and just a great collection of movies that I could re watch over and over again and never get bored. I love how the dynamics change in this movie and how the story takes a different turn unlike the other movies. I cannot wait for part one of the final movie to come out although I'm not 100% sure if its this year or next?

I just love Tris and Four together!!!

Secret Lift of Pets
I have been waiting for this movie since I saw the original trailer way back in 2015 and have always wondered why it had taken them so long to show it in the cinemas but once it was released I was very excited to go and see it. Who doesn't love a movie about pets? And what they get up to when they're parents aren't home! I wonder if they will do a second one!

The BFG
This is just such a good feel film for any age and there is just something about watching this movie that makes me feel really happy and cheery. I loved reading Roald Dahl books as a Kid so when I found out they were releasing this as a live action movie I was over the moon. I loved how the BFG actually looked like the actor Mark Rylance he just looked so good.

The Conjuring 2
I absolutely love The Conjuring and I love a good horror movie as well so when I found out they were doing a Conjuring 2 with the same cast playing Ed and Lorraine Warren I couldn't wait and to then find out it was based on one of my favourite stories "The Enfield Haunting" and was going to be filmed in the UK it made it even better! Another movie where I actually think it was better than the first one and made me jump so many times in the cinema.

There are still so many movies that I loved in 2016 and that didn't make it in to my Top 10 list but this year these are some of my favourites, What movies have you seen this year that you really enjoyed?

Top Ten Disney Easter Eggs

Who doesn't love a good Disney Easter Egg? After mentioning about the one hidden in Disney's new movie Zootopia in my last post it gave me an idea to write a post on my top ten hidden Easter eggs.

Now if you don't have a clue what I'm on about then shame on you ;) just kidding! Basically a Disney Easter Egg is where they hide something in their movies that reference another movie or someone or sometimes this can be hints of whats to come that you often won't even notice until they have released the movie somewhere down the line.

Here's an example: Little Mermaid 
Mickey, Goofy and Donald can be seen in the crowd during King Triton's entrance

So here's my Top Ten:
101 Dalmatians
Lady and Tramp make a quick cameo during the twilight bark

Zootopia
When Duke Weaselton is caught selling Disney knock offs

Oliver and Company
Jock, Peg and Trusty from Lady and The Tramp make a  quick cameo 

Monsters Inc
When Boo found Nemo and the Toy Story Ball

Tangled
When Rapunzel and Flynn read in the library 3 classic Disney movies appear in book form;
1. The Little Mermaid
2. Beauty and the Beast
3. Sleeping Beauty

Frozen
Rapunzel and Flynn are seen at Elsa's coronation

Tarzan
Mrs Potts and Chip are in Porter's Camp

Basil the Great Mouse Detective
When Dumbo shows up as a bubble toy in the toy shop

Hercules
Scar is the slain Nemean Lion

Aladdin
The Beast appears as one of the Sultan's toys

There are so many to choose from even picking some of my Top Ten was difficult! What are some of yours?

Top Movies of 2015

So this has become a regular thing for me to do every year now, so I thought why not let this be my first post of the year.

There have been some incredible films out in 2015 which I have managed to watch at the cinema but last year I didn't manage to go to see as many films as I usually did due to being busy and money costs.

But luckily some of these films are slowly making they're way on to Netflix, Amazon and Now TV. I have a list of about 30 I still want to see at some point so when they're out I shall make my way through the list.

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens:
OK so I am a newbie to Star Wars I am one of these people that have never watched it and only watched it a few months ago because my boyfriend wanted me to. I am going to be honest they're good but I wouldn't rush to watch them again.

But as for The Force Awakens ... oh my! It was incredible and moving forwards I could be a massive fan of the films!










2. The Peanuts Movie












3. The Good Dinosaur
Talk about emotional? I could have easily cried in this movie at least 3 times and seemed really emotional and complex for a children's movie but at the same time the story was incredible and very powerful.









4. Ant Man












5. Ex Machina
















6. Inside Out
This has to be one of my favourite movies from 2015! Bing Bong Bing Bong!!!!












7. Jurassic World












8. Avengers Age of Ultron










9. Cinderella
The Disney live actions movies have always been very good but there is that bit of you that worries with how many they are releasing at the moment whether they will be that good.

Cinderella was exceptional and Lily James makes the best Cinderella and I think that is what makes the whole movie.










10. Insurgent










I am gutted that I haven't managed to see the new Hunger Games yet with Christmas and going on Holiday I have been a bit short of money. If its still in the cinema maybe ill go in the new few weeks if its still on.

Whats you favourite movie from 2015?
