My A to Z of movies

Recently, I saw BigPauly's and Jamie Powell's videos where they both listed off their favourite films for every letter of the alphabet(Highly, recommend subscribing to both of them).

Since then, I have been inspired to make my own list. I have included a brief opinion on all 26 listed films

I tried my best to stray away from big blockbuster titles.

Quite a few will have already been listed on this blog via other lists such as the 'Top 90 films from 2010-2019' list I done last year.

Upon completing the list, I realised that Hailee Steinfeld was the only star who appearred three times.

With that being said, I give to you, my A to Z of movies:

A for 'Adventures In Babysitting'

I first saw this on Disney+ during April 2020.

It was an okay film, Elizabeth Shue's performance was the only highlight of it.

B for 'BumbleBee'

I first saw this during my first day as a Cineworld Unlimited Card Holder, 16th December 2018.

Perhaps the only enjoyable and amazing live-action Transformers film.

(The first Hailee Steinfeld film on this list)

C for 'Colombiana'

I first saw this early last year.

I was mainly interested because of Zoe Saldana, everything else just seemed generic and quite bland.

D for 'Director and The Jedi'

I first saw this in 2018.

I have always loved The Last Jedi, and seeing this made me love it even more.

(It's a feature lenghth documentary, btw)

E for 'Edge of Seventeen'

I first saw this on BBC IPlayer last year.

Hailee Steinfeld and the soundtrack were by far the best parts of this.

(The second Hailee Steinfeld film on this list)

F for 'Fighting With My Family'

I saw this during a advanced screening in February 2019.

I was very skeptical going into this, as I knew about the career of the actual Paige. 

But, I was wrong to be skeptical and since watching this, I have become a big fan of Florence Pugh.

G for 'Green Book'

I first saw this back in February 2019.

If it wasn't for the advanced screening of FWMF, this would've been #1 of that month

Fantastic film

H for 'Her'

One of two films I saw during May 2020.

Perfect performance by Joaquin Phoenix

Beautiful cinematography

I for 'In Darkness'

I saw this in 2018.

Natalie Dormer's performance of a blind pianist was exceptional although everything else about the film was a little slow and dragged quite a bit

J for 'Jay & Silent Bob Reboot'

This was the very first film I rented digitally.

I was looking forward to seeing this and it did not disapoint

K for 'Katy Perry: Part of Me'

I saw this twice in cinemas back in 2012

One of my all-time favourite documentaries

One of my all-time favourite female music artists

L for 'Lion'

This was the other film I saw during May 2020

I was interested in watching this as the cinematographer behind Rogue One done this too

Excellent film but also immensely dark and quite depressing throughout

M for 'Mallrats'

This was the first Kevin Smith film I saw

He truly is a talented writer and director.

N for 'NightCrawler'

This was the first full film I saw on my first projector.

It was on BBC IPlayer.

Amazing performance by Jake Gyllenhaal, great film

O for 'Onward' 

One of the last films I saw in the cinema before the temporary closure of Cineworld

Absolutley brilliant film, a certified tear jerker

P for 'Paper Towns'

Another one of the first films I saw on my first projector

Cara Delivinge was great, loved the story and ending

Q for 'Queen & Slim'

My #1 film from February 2020

Excellent soundtrack, heartbreaking and brutal ending

R for 'Rocketman'

I saw this during a Unlimited screening back in May 2019

My #1 film of May 2019

This film, honestly, made me listen to Elton John's music almost religiously for over a year, still do

S for 'Split'

I saw this after seeing Glass first, the Unbreakable.

Brilliant performances by James McAvoy and Anya-Taylor Joy

This maybe my favourite of the three films

T for 'True Grit'

I saw this in early 2019.

Decent western, great performances all-round

(The third and final Hailee Steinfeld film on this list)

U for 'UnderWater'

#4 in the films I saw during February 2020

Decent horror, but shows the aliens too much that it becomes more of a action film

Kristen Stewart was amazing

V for 'Valerian'

I saw this in late 2017

Visually stunning at times, dull story, good performance by Cara Delevinge

W for 'Watchmen'

My #1 favourite DC film

Zack Snyder is an amazing director

Brilliant dark imagery

X for 'XXX'

I honestly struggled to think of something for X

This seemed like the only film I could put that wasn't a big blockbuster, that I have saw

Y for 'You Were Never Really Here'

I saw this after seeing JOKER back in October 2019

Loved his performance in this

Beautiful cinematography, especially during the lake scene

Z for 'ZombieLand'

One of my favourite zombie as well as comedy films.

I prefer this over the sequel because it was honestly more entertaining, even though I do like both

I honestly had to look to my Blu-Ray collection for suggestions for almost half of it. I own A, B, C,F ,H, K, N, P, S, V and W
