It’s Christmas, and so I’ve been thinking through my favourite films. Here’s the first pass at my list- although it’s more likely to be the list of films I’d like to see again, rather than the an absolute list of favourites. (Some you may not have heard of- this is because some of my favourites are absolute turkeys that bombed in the cinemas, or went straight to video. (sale-rack videos at that)
