My Five Favourite Movies Of All Time ❤

It's a bit of a different sort of post today! This one isn't beauty or fashion related but it is my five favourite movies of all time :) They may not seem like typical favourite movies but I'm a bit weird like that!

#1 The Shawshank Redemption

I could watch this movie 500 times and never ever get bored of it. I love the fact that it's not a very recent movie and not too many people know about it (well as far as I know anyway!) One of the best things about the movie is the fact that Morgan Freeman is narrating which just makes any movie that bit more amazing. I watched an entire film about penguins before purely because he narrated it... 

The Shawshank Redemption is basically about a man who gets sent to prison for the murder (ooh scary!) of his wife and her lover; he claims the whole way through the film to be innocent but as they say "ain't nobody supposed to be here" in Shawshank. he starts to dig a tunnel behind a poster in his cell and eventually manages to get out! Yay! 

#2 The Green Mile

This one is another classic, I love Tom Hanks in this. It's quite sad but does have its funny and happy moments too! Mr.Jingles the little mouse is so adorable and it's so heartbreaking when one of the mad men in another cell kills him, but he is soon brought back to life by John Coffey, a man on death row who seems to have a power to heal people. He's in for a crime he didn't commit and eventually gets sent to the electric chair - I cry every time I see this part!

#3 The Dark Knight

Heath Ledger just makes this movie what it is. Although Christian Bale is a bit of a looker :) This was the movie that got me really into superheroes. After this I had to go see the sequels, and watch Spiderman and the Avengers! I love all the one liners from this "Why so serious?" and "It's simple, kill the Batman." both from the Joker. I don't think anyone could have played that character as good as Heath. Also, the sequel to this The Dark Knight rises is amazing, with Tom Hardy as Bane. Best line from that movie is when he says to Batman "...We will destroy Gotham and then, when it is done and Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die." How come superhero movies always have the hottest actors with their faces covered - so unfair!

#4 The Lion King

There just HAD to be a Disney movie in my favourites, I mean who doesn't love Disney :) I'm sure pretty much every person in the world knows about the Lion King so I don't need to write a summary but it's definitely one of my favourites. Even now I love singing along to Hakuna Matata, it's the little kid in me! Hard to believe this movie is almost 20 years old - which is still quite recent compared to Snow White from 1937! I wonder how many people remember seeing that one in the cinema!

#5 Labyrinth

This movie choice might seem really strange to some people but something about it I've always liked since the first time I saw it. I think it was on the television one day and I thought it looked cool so I watched it, then had to watch it again and again! It's not your typical movie, as in it has puppets, a maze and David Bowie singing a lot, but I love it! Long story short, David Bowie is the goblin king Jareth and he kidnaps Sarah's (Jennifer Connelly) baby brother and takes him to his castle, she has to get through the Labyrinth in thirteen hours to save her brother or he will be turned into a goblin. She makes it to the castle where Jareth asks her to abandon her brother and stay with him but she refuses and he sends them both home.

There are quite a few more I'd like to put on this list, like The Notebook, My Fair Lady and Mulan but I thought I'd limit it to five or I'd be here all day! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this and let me know what your favourite movies are! Especially childhood movies, I love reminiscing :)

Have an amazing day lovelies
