I find it really hard to watch films if I'm being completely honest. I never have the urge to sit and watch something for that long, I normally get really bored. I have to either sit in the cinema and watch something or watch with a friend. Most of the time, I'm guilty of watching films I've seen again and again - just because I know I'll stick to it!
I've wanted to watch American Beauty for absolutely ages now - I think it's been years - but I didn't sit down to watch it until the Christmas break and I'm so mad at myself that I hadn't watched it sooner! I've realised that my favourite films are actually all made in the 90's, and this one didn't disappoint.
I wholeheartedly 100% recommend this film, it focuses on so many themes there's not one moment of boredom. I feel like there were no scenes just added to connect key scenes, it felt like everything was important. I loved every character and every story they each had, I didn't want to it end!
Now, Independence Day is one of those films that I have seen about 57 times...not an exaggeration. I think everyone has seen this film more than once because it's replayed on tv maybe like 5 times a year, but it's one of my all time favourite films. I love Roland Emmerich's films a little bit too much, and after screaming at the trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence I asked for the DVD of this one, just to get me that little bit more excited. If you have never watched this I seriously think you should give it a go. It's great if you love sci-fi or even just disaster films.
I didn't watch many films over the break as I've said I find that I just don't have the attention span to sit and watch a whole film that often. I did watch Star Wars: The Force Awakes, which I already posted about, but I really wanted to talk to about these two films just because they are easily two of my favourites.
