Top 6 Films.

I've finally caught up with the 2014 Blogger Challenges! Topic 14 is about films and a I've decided to write a list of my top 6 films!

1. Aristocats

Easily my favourite Disney film. I learnt how to play 'Everybody wants to be a cat' on piano when I still played and the other songs are great too!

2. My Fair Lady

I watched this on YouTube about a week ago and I loved it! Audrey Hepburn is such a brilliant actress and I love the songs in this film!

3. Despicable Me 1 & 2

I know this is technically 2 films but I love them both so much, I couldn't pick which to put as my favourite! The first one is great but the second is probably better by millimetres as I find it so funny but cute with Lucy!

4. Notting Hill

Best. Film. Ever. Honestly my favourite film; I could watch this all day every day! It's such a brilliant rom-com! Spike is probably one of my favourite characters across all of the films I've seen, he's so funny!

5. You've Got Mail

I've only seen this a couple of times, it's so good! It's also about books and what they mean to people which is obviously a huge plus in my eyes!

6. My Week With Marilyn

Eddie Redmayne and Emma Watson in the same film is always going to be good but this is incredible. I had to study Marilyn Monroe in GCSE history so this film is a fascinating take on the missing diary entries of Colin Clark's from when Marilyn was shooting The Prince and the Showgirl at Pinewood Studios! It's such a great look behind the scenes at one of film's most renowned icons (even though it's partially fictional) and I really loved it.

I always find it difficult to decide on favourites but I think this is as close as I'm going to get to a top selection...I'll probably have changed my mind by next week!

Top 5 Winter Films

Not all of these are specifically set in the season but they're my favourite films to watch during this time as you can just curl up and enjoy watching them. These are also in my favourite film list - I've watched them all too many times to count! 

Love Actually

This is such a great Christmas film and will leave you smiling for ages afterwards. The beginning always makes me laugh until I cry - Bill Nighy is fantastic.
I haven't seen this as much as the other films but I love it equally. 

The Proposal

These two are the perfect pair. It may not be a Christmas film but it's so great to watch while snuggled in a duvet. It's so funny and adorable, it's fantastic!

The Holiday

 An actual Christmas film!Kind of... I don't think they could have picked a better cast; Jack Black, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz?! Yes please. Although I can't help but think of Princess Fiona when Cameron speaks...
It's such a feel-good film and it's so great for around Christmas time too!
 

Notting Hill 

I don't actually know how many times I've seen this film but I know it still isn't enough. I love it so much and it's so funny! When I went to Notting Hill a couple of moths back, I tried looking for where they filmed but I assume they filmed somewhere else as I couldn't find it anywhere along where the market is!

Aristocats 

Being me, I obviously couldn't have a list of films and not include a Disney film. Aristocats is my favourite Disney film by far, it's adorable and the songs are so catchy; when I played piano, I could actually play everybody wants to be a cat! 

I hope you guys enjoyed my list! If you haven't watched any of these films, I suggest you do, they're all fantastic!

Snow days and university!

So college texted everyone last night to say it was cancelled today because of a severe snow warning; boy were they right!

I got a lie in today for the first time in ages, I definitely needed it! When I woke up it was white outside!! I don't usually like snow because it disrupts everything, but because college was cancelled anyway, it's awesome! I've decided that I'm spending the day in my pjs, in bed with my laptop and phone with hot chocolate, lion cereal and a film! Perfect day if I do say so myself! I do wish I had someone to cuddle with though, that would be nice. I miss cuddles though tbh, the one cruddy thing about being single D:

 

The view from my bedroom window, you can barely tell the pavement from the road!!!

My amazing Gingerbread hot chocolate with cinnamon and chocolate
 in my Starbucks mug that I got for Christmas, its so good!!!
 

I just got an email from UCL saying that I've got a place on the taster day that they've got on 13th February!!!!!!! I'm actually beyond excited because the course is Ancient worlds/Classics which is the course I want to apply for at UCL when I have to choose my Unis next year!!! So if it goes well I'll know if I want to go or not!!! I had to choose from 3 workshops so I decided to pick one where I get to study Greek writing and books, and seeing what the papyrus say about culture and society of ancient civilisations which is amazing and so interesting! Today has just turned out AMAZING!!

I'm off to snuggle in my duvet, eat cereal and watch Notting Hill, I'll probably write another post later!
