1)Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away' (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (2002)
This hands down is probably the movie I have watched the most ever since I first saw it. The story is relateable despite being set in a fantastical and slightly evil world and the characters are really well developed; Chihiro an innocent and eager girl who is determined to save her parents and is a caring friend and Haku a mysterious and tormented boy who despite having a dark secret, does everything he can to protect Chihiro. Spirited Away is such a beautiful movie with stunning animation that brings the characters to life like no animation I have seen. This is a movie I will still be watching way into my eighties.
2) Speed (1994)
I have always been a fan of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock and the chemistry between them is undeniable whether you watch Speed or The Lakehouse. Speed is an action thriller that has me on the edge of my sofa every time I watch it even though I know what happens! The villain played by Dennis Hopper is cunning and malicious but with an unusual twist in terms of his conscience. I can't really put into words how much I love this movie but I really love it...like ALOT.
3) The Lakehouse (2006)
Now you know that I love Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock...so here is one of my absolute favourite movies I can watch over and over and over...The Lakehouse. Both Sandra and Keanu are the main stars in this movie and despite the gloomy looking poster above I can tell you that this film whilst sad and heartbreaking is also fiery and passionate and funny, due to not only the amazing acting and chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock but the emotional plot with its twists and turns and the perfect mix of coincidence, fate, happy and sad. I highly recommend this movie.
4) The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)
This is one of my more recent finds, I first watched it about a year and a half ago, and I fell in love with it instantly! It is such a clever movie with stunning animation and a thrilling story that keeps you guessing all the time. Some parts I'm shouting at the screen yelling "NO DON'T GO THERE!" It is that suspenseful....or maybe I'm just weird...hehe. It is such a confusing story to explain without revealing the ending or any plot twists so I won't even go there.
5) Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999)
I can just hear alot of you groan because the old Star Wars episodes are better than the new ones and I agree to an extent but I have many fond memories of Star Wars. I practically grew up playing lightsabers with my brother and pretending to open doors with my force abilities and I remember watching Star Wars Phantom Menace in the cinema with my dad and rewatching it on video years later. The plot is brilliant and the actors are really good, especially Liam Neeson one of my favourite actors who plays Qui-Gon Jinn my favourite Jedi out of all the movies old and new. One of the aspects that make this movie awesome is the music. Oh the music. John Williams composes the most beautiful music that really strikes a chord with you in each scene it plays in. My favourite being the duel Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi have with Darth Maul one of the coolest Sith to ever live. The music creates such suspense and I get so excited when that part of the movie approaches. Seriously watch it. Watch all of the Star Wars movies because Liam Neeson may be amazing in The Phantom Menace but hot damn Harrison Ford as Han Solo is one beautiful man.
Well thats it for this post! It was so difficult picking just five as there are loads of other movies I watch over and over, but these are my favourites. For example I would have included The Bourne Series, Lord of The Rings, Underworld series, Resident Evil series, Constantine (another Keanu Reeves movie yes I know I have an addiction) Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and many more. Agree with me? Let me know what movies you can watch over and over in the comments below and we can fangirl over them!
