Films
I love watching movies, of many kinds, so it's hard to choose my favourites. These are some of them...
In the beginning... - as a child I was brought up primarily on Disney movies. I also had a few other particular favourites, especially fantasy adventure films.
Fantasia (1940)
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
101 Dalmations (1961)
The Sound of Music (1965)
The Dark Crystal (1982)
The Neverending Story (1984)
E.T. (1982)
Sci-fi / Fantasy - this became one of my favourite kinds of film, merging into action-adventure films with a fantasy or supernatural element, like The Mummy or Sleepy Hollow.
Star Wars series (1977-2005)
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) / 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)
Alien (1979) / Aliens (1986) / Alien Resurrection (1997)
The Terminator (1984)
Blade Runner (1982)
Silent Running (1972)
The Matrix trilogy (1999-2003)
Harry Potter series (2001-)
The Princess Bride (1987)
The Mummy series (1999/2001)
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)
Other - I tend to enjoy drama, both historical epics and period drama; I've also got into action / thriller films more recently. When it comes to comedy, my favourites tend to be rather off-beat or unconventional. I've also become interested in the history of cinema, so I like to watch quite a few old movie classics.

The English Patient (1996)
The Remains of the Day (1993)
