5) Scott Pilgrim vs The world.

Personally I feel Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a excellent film with a great cast. I love the originality of the story line and the way the director presented the film almost exactly what its like in the comics. I also really appreciate the weird yet wonderful humour in the film.
4) The Wolf of Wall Street.

Character Jordan Belfort (actor Leonardo DiCaprio) Body language and smart appearance suggests he is a man of power and authority. |
This film is a classic Martin Scorsese production, with lots of long takes, freeze frames and the main protagonist narrating throughout. As well as the film being very entertaining and comical, it does come with a very serious, moral message. It is in fact the real life depiction of former stockbroker, Jordan Belfort, played by the incredible Leonardo DiCaprio, who's performance got him an Oscar nomination. Some critics say that the film glorifies the life of Jordan Belfort who on a regular basis did cocaine and copious amounts of other drugs, had sex with prostitutes, and scammed people for their money. However, I feel it does the opposite as by the end he turns out to be miserable and looses his business, family and fortune.
3) Django unchained.

Django Unchained is a typical Tarantino film, filled with over dramatised violence and star actors, such as Jamie Foxx, Christopher Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carrie Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. The fill is set during the slave trade, in 19th century Western America. Its brilliantly portrays the racisism of the time and how these black people had to deal with that, including the protagonist - Django. And of course as it is a Tarantino film, there is lots of blood and death, which we can also tell from the big red text of the front cover. So it is set for a particular audience.
2) Disney's Hercules.
Very comical moment in film. |
Although set for a young audience, Hercules is pretty much my all time favourite film. Throughout my childhood I used to have this film on repeat, and I could happily watch it on repeat now. It has excellent humour, brilliant songs and a very good moral message behind it. Its also a great adaptation on Greek mythology. This film never fails to make me feel nostalgic and always puts me in a great mood.
1) The Grand Budapest Hotel.
