Transcript

Are your top four favorite movies? This Wow. Here no. It's horrible that it's only four movies I can take. I was best Worst and Furious. The last one. I like any move of Jason Statham. Transport. Yeah. I mean, just when he fights. I like the the way he fights. Yeah. Yeah. Then I would say Titanic because it's my mom's favorite movie. I like Mission Impossible as well. Let's put that as well in there, the last one. So I'm gonna say Serendipity, No in Tier, PS I Love Tier, and Mamma Mia could watch all over again, and I I don't no. I feel like I could sing any song. Let's go with Good Will Hunting. Yeah. Matt Damon probably one of my favorite actors. Soul, the Pixar movie. I think, a lot of people are sleeping on, like, animated movies on Pixar, and I think those are amazing, and especially Davonk, La La Land. I'm gonna go for The Dark Knights. Yeah. Well, I tier with one of my favorite movies. It's Bohemian Rhapsody. I just really love the bad, love the music. One movie I watched here in Manchester was Hamnet. Really, really good movie, but also very emotional. Emotional. Well, a classic is Titanic. Good watch it every year. Oh, I watched Marty Supreme. I also like movies that are quite long, even though at some points you feel like, it's slowing down. But I think in times where it's, like, always, like, blockbusters and so best, it's nice to have films that also take longer, that make you think more. I'm gonna go to Shutter Island, brilliant psychological thriller, and then the rest are all gonna be basically like Disney films I think. Ratatouille, No Owen Stitch was my favorite growing up. Oh, actually, Hidden Figures. Love Hidden Figures. There is an old movie that is called Life of Brian. That's that's a fantastic movie. I I would also say that there is a movie that is called Schindler's List. Silence of the Lambs is, I like these crime movies and, that one is fantastic. Probably I would say, seven. I went and saw the Brad Pitt f one movie and I loved it. It's a really rogue shout, but I love Annie. You know the film Annie? Yeah. Jamie Foxx Annie. The best Annie better. I was so young but it's just always stuck with me the music. I sometimes even sit in a car listen to the the music from the from the film because it's that good. I probably have to go Infinity War and then the best film of all time Dark Knight Rises Batman. Harry Potter, Goblet of Fire, Now You See Me, Sinners, and Creed. I love this film called Molly's Game. I'm gonna need to Google the names of them. Yeah. I like the gentleman. Maybe like Toy Tier, The Irishman.
