Hope and Glory (1987)

This is such a heart warming story!! Set against the background of World War II, it looks at the Blitz in the eyes of a nine year old boy. I first saw this at school as part of a history lesson, so I'd really like to thank my teacher for introducing it!

Equilibrium (2002)

The first of the dystopian futures, this is set in an Orwell-esque world where people are not allowed to have any emotions and are constantly being watched. This film kicks real ass and should be watched.

Here is the trailer.

Day 17 - Movie Month

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Click here to view this film's IMDB 

I don't know what it is about this film, but it's my favourite of the series. It's funny, it's scary (giant spiders aaarggghhh!) and there's a house elf. Oh and Uncle Vernon falls out of a first floor window.

Here is the trailer.

Because we have now reached the top 15, I thought I'd give a quick glance and maybe some clues as to what's coming up!
4 foreign language films
6 animations
3 involving time travel
and 2 dystopian futures.
There is no horror, it's not that I don't like horror films, it's just not a genre a generally frequent. Having said that, Let The Right One In only just didn't make it here.
I've had some people guessing at what is in the list so far and you can keep guessing but some of the things I have been told are very very wrong. . .

The list so far:

15) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
16) The Great Escape (1963)
17) Star Trek XI (2009)
18) Schindler's List (1993)
19) Jurassic Park (1993)

Star Trek XI (2009)

There is one word that can describe this film, and I may probably get a few dislikes for it, but it's cool! And it was nice to see a little cameo from Leonard Nimoy as well.

And here's a bit of trivia for you. Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk) - who went on to do Thor and stuff - went into Star Trek off the back of the world famous Australian soap, Home and Away. So there you have it.

Here is the trailer.
