A Filmmaker's Guide to the 10 Greatest Films of All Time
There are a few lists that claim to have the greatest films of all time present on them. But on this list I really just want to go through what I think are the greatest films. Now, I will be looking at a list of criteria for what makes the film 'the greatest film' of all time and some of you may find it shocking, some of you may not like my list and some of you may think it's either in the wrong order or that some films just shouldn't be there altogether. If you think this then please don't go and write a blog about it - I think it's very important to have various other views out there. Don't you get tired of reading the list of the same ten films over and over again, it's like one website just copied and pasted it on to their own page. Now, what I think are the best films of all time have to tick all the following boxes:

Why Paddington 2 is My Favourite Film of the 2010s
Cinema is an art form. We usually engage with movies as nothing more than mindless entertainment. Movies can be mindless, but it all depends on how we choose to engage with them. In his book 'The Great Movies' legendary film critic Roger Ebert writes:

Spider-Man Far From Home did no justice to Tony Stark Legacy
I can’t come out right off the bat and say Far From Home is my favorite Spider-Man movie. I loved the movie so much but I haven’t watched Spider-Man 2 for a long time. Spider-Man Far From Home is a top tier MCU movie and probably has the best action sequence in Spider-Man movies. I can gush about Spider-Man all day long but I am writing on something else. Tony Stark was always a father figure to Peter Parker. However, I was a little pissed off how Marvel handled Tony Stark character after his death.

The Best Christmas Stories to Teach to the Little Ones
Storytelling is a key part of Christmas. It’s a time for giving, a time for relaxation and also a time for learning. Over the years there have been many stories depicted during Christmas, and of course one story that started Christmas off altogether, with some of them being over a hundred years old. So what has stood the test of time, and what are the quintessential yuletide stories that we should all be telling to the next generation?

Why Did 'Cats' Even Happen?
I have had zero desire to see Cats. I have never wanted to see the stage play. I have no ambition to see the new feature film, though there are a couple of actors in there that I enjoy, such as Dame Judi Dench and Jennifer Hudson. I love the song "Memory;" it's one of those songs that if done right, will absolutely rip your heart out, and sometimes, you're just in the mood for songs like that.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Michael Jackson: The Last 24 Hours" (2018)
"Michael Jackson: The Last 24 Hours" is one of those documentaries that shines a light on to not only the death of Michael Jackson, but the incredible but ultimately, tiring, life he led. It is a classic portrait and a great, raw look at one of history's greatest artists. Personally, he is one of my biggest heroes and I will always love, respect and cherish the man as an idol of mine. Michael Jackson's death was not only a blow for me, but one for the entire planet - ultimately, it was our fault he died. We pushed him much too far and we kept saying 'more' when in reality, he needed rest. He didn't get any rest, and so now - now, I guess he's resting. At least the man got to lie down for once. He was working non-stop throughout his 40-year career from five years' old until his death at 50. No wonder he was completely shattered.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Elvis Presley: The Last 24 Hours" (2004)
Elvis Presley is one of my heroes. My entire family is obsessed with him. My father owns a statue of him, a record collection, various pieces of merchandise. Elvis practically lives in my house constantly and was always there when I was growing up. Since I can remember, he has been a constant shining light of music in my life - as were people like Michael Jackson, Prince, Lionel Richie and others of this kind I listened to from a very early age. Elvis was always the obsession of the entire family though. I remember going to my aunt's house on his birthday and there was just Elvis music on all day, all the merchandise was out (including tupperware, cutlery and plates etc.) There was a massive cape-like shroud with his face on it and obviously, there were pictures my aunt took when she went to Graceland. My parents' wedding song was "Love Me Tender" and yes, I had my own disc collection of Elvis songs.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Barry Lyndon" (1975)
And so, I was watching one of the most masterful period dramas out there last night. Before I go through why I really enjoyed this film, I'd like to give a big thank you to everyone who has been reading along or just jumped into these reviews. You are appreciated, loved and very welcome to contact me on Instagram (@anniethebritindian) at any time. Now, on with this review. Let's first and foremost talk about my history with this film. It's a long and drawn out one so please, sit tight and get a drink or something.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Gift" (2015)
So, I recently watched this film off a recommendation from someone online and they basically stated that it was a fun thriller to sit through. In reality, it wasn't really fun at all. Instead it was a bit of a mess, you didn't really get invested in any of the characters - you just got a bit of a blur and there was no really story. I didn't like the way it was presented in that the woman was being 'pulled around' if you will. If someone I loved did that to me, I would just get up and walk out on him and never come back - it didn't seem realistic for her to stay. I don't really have a history with this film as I had never actually heard of it, the actors or the director in my life - and so, I must have managed to completely miss it. It's not like me to miss things but I think this one just slipped away from me.

Movie Review: 'The Two Popes' is Netflix's Overlooked Triumph
There have been only three Popes in my lifetime and only one of them has been slightly relevant to my life. Pope Francis, the modern Pope, has held me in thrall on a few occasions, specifically during his first days on Twitter when he was charming the world. And then, in the documentary about his time as Pope and how he was dragging the Catholic church out of the dark ages with one modern touch after another.
