RM - Top 5 Fave Films

1. The Italian Job (Peter Collinson, 1969)c
     Budget: Not given on imdb, however
   reported $3,000,000 on the italian job
   website.
   UK box office: Not given.
   US box office: Not given.

This is my favourite film of all time because I love the entire plot, especially how the film ends on a cliff-hanger quite literally. Another reason why this is my favourite film is because some of Michael Caine’s lines are iconic, for example “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!







The Trailer


2. I Am Legend (Francis Lawrence, 2007)
    Budget: $150,000,000
   UK box office: £25,348,532
   US box office: $256,386,216

I Am Legend is one of my favourite films because of how the mood changes during the film - at the beginning the film it’s quite jumpy keeping the audience on the edge of their seats which then turns into sadness half-way through which finally turns to tragedy. Another reason why this is one of my favourite films is because it stars my favourite actor Will Smith and I think it’s his best piece of work.
3. Hot Fuzz (Edgar Wright, 2007)
    Budget: $16,000,000
   UK box office: £20,792,585
   US box office: $23,618,786

A reason why Hot Fuzz is one of my favourite films is how hilarious it is and some of the scenes are ridiculously funny, for example “The battle of Somerfield”. Another reason why Hot Fuzz is one of my favourite films is that, however many times I watch it during a week I can’t get tired of it.


4. Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 2006)
    Budget: $150,000,000
   UK box office: £55,287,027
   US box office: $167,445,960

I enjoyed Casino Royale is because it’s just what a Bond film should be ... action packed. Another reason why this film is in my top five films is because of all the Bond films, in my opinion this is the best one that has been made so far.


5. The Spirit (Frank Miller, 2008)
    Budget: Not given on imdb,
   however reported $53,000,000 on
   wikipedia.
   UK box office: £3,259,898
   US box office: $74,798

A reason why I enjoyed The Spirit is because it’s a super-hero movie like no other; it’s set out like a comic book but for the big and small screen. Another reason why I enjoyed this film is because although it’s set out like a comic book which is seen to be quite childish the plot manages to make it feel more for adults.
