Top Ten Tuesday-Ten Films I Bought This Year

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday/

I don't read a lot of books that generally make me laugh and most of what I do laugh at is immature and inappropiate humour in things like horror books! This week I'm going rogue and looking at ten films I bought this year. 

1) A Chorus Line

I like a film with a lot of musical numbers, good dance scenes and a decent plot. I watched this because I liked Michael Douglas as an actor and I very much enjoyed it when I saw it on TV once. I took the chance of buying it cheap and look forward to seeing it again soon.

 

2) All Hallows Eve 1 & 2

A horror double pack. My dad heard about the Art the killer clown in this film series and wanted to see it. I like a killer clown as much as anyone so when I found the double pack with the two films it was a bit of a no brainer to buy it!

 

3) Chicago

I always liked 'All That Jazz' as a tune so when I saw it was in the film when it came out, and the top cast also in it, I bought it. For some reason despite loving it, I handed it into a charity shop. I'm pleased to have bought it back again!

 

4) Rocketman

I very much enjoy the music of Elton John and I find him an interesting guy because he speaks his mind and doesn't care about everyone seeing the good and bad sides to him. I like that honesty and figured I'd like the film, picking it up cheap.

 

5) The Favourite

I actually like costume dramas about historical figures from any time period and the clips I saw of this looked quite funny so I wanted to take a look at it. I like Olivia Colman as an actress too so I hope to get watching this some weekend.

 

6) The Greatest Showman

I thought this was about a traditional circus and had no real interest in watching it but picked it up cheap to get free Amazon postage. It was nothing like I expected and I loved it! The song and dance numbers are great plus Hugh Jackman and the gorgeous Zac Efron as a bonus!

 

7) Bohemian Rhapsody

I love the music of Queen so I was always going to want to see this. I thought it was brilliant-funny, sad, tragic and uplifting all at the same time. The music and acting were great and I liked everything especially that Live Aid finale!

8) Crawl

I do like a decent horror film especially with inventive settings so alligators in a flooded house during a storm was always going to get my attention! My dad and I are both really keen to see this one!

9) I, Tonya

I really like biopics and I remember the scandal surrounding Tonya and Nancy during the skating fued and assault so I was always going to want to see this film. I loved Allison Janney in the West Wing too.

10) The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I was obsessed with this film as a student! But when I bought the dvd it had been 'upgraded' to sterio and some of the songs had been changed and sounded awful so I got rid of my copy. This is the glorious original mono version that I loved and I enjoyed owning it again!
