My favourite Films:
Compiling a list of my favourite films is quite a difficult task for me as my favourite films are subject to change over time. I’m not much of a film buff because I don’t really watch that many films in my spare time and tend to watch Television shows instead. For this reason, I have included 2 of my favourite TV programs that I would rate VERY Highly. This list will be quite short therefore, as these are the movies that have made a long lasting impression on me. Don’t expect anything too fancy here either!

# Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Gore Verbinski (2006) – US Adventure/Fantasy
