Film #13: The Iron Lady (2011)

I may not agree with ANY of Margret Thatcher’s politics but you cannot deny she was a strong and powerful women. Plus Meryl Streep is a goddess.

“Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become… habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny! What we think we become.”

Film #12: The Full Monty (1997)

This film has one of the most awkward premises of all time: Out of work steel workers decide the only way to make money is to become male strippers.  

Pretty sure I’ve never laughed harder in my entire life. Also I have an unhealthy obsession with Robert Carlyle.  

Film #8: Fright Night (2011)

Mediocre vampire flick. Truthfully the only reason I even wanted to see it was David Tennant. He was fantastic. Best part of the movie. By far.

Now i’m just going to sit here and stare at that last gif.

Don’t mind me.

“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. That doesn’t narrow it down. That’s like, mini-golf and sushi.” 

Film #7: Wilde (1997)

The role Stephen Fry was born to play. 

“In this life there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants. The other is getting it.” 

Film #6: Trainspotting (1996)

“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a big fucking television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disk players and electrical tin openers… choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on the couch, watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.” 

Film #5: The Avengers (2012)

Best. Superhero movie. Ever.

“But let’s do a head count here: your brother the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and YOU, big fella, you’ve managed to piss off every single one of them…There’s no throne, there is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it’s too much for us but it’s all on you. Because if we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we’ll avenge it!”

Film #4: Seven Pounds (2008)

I almost never cry in a movie. I bawled when I saw this film. It was kind of perfect.

4.5 out of 5 stars!

“It is within my power to drastically change his circumstances, but I don’t want to give that man a gift he doesn’t deserve.”
