Day 2: favourite film

Alright, alright, I know it says 'favorite movie' but I'm English, so I translated! I got kind of excited when I saw this one, because I figured it was easy - BBC Pride and Prejudice, hands down. Then I realised that, technically, that's a TV series so I was a bit stumped. I find it difficult to pick a favourite of anything - there's just so much choice!

So, I love 'the Railway Children' - it always manages to bring tears to my eyes ("Daddy, my Daddy" I'm almost welling up just thinking about it) and is very feel good. And I've just realised I no don't really own it anymore as it was on VHS, which is no longer a part of my life. Gah!

I also love 'the slipper and the rose'. Very few people have seen this version of Cinderella, but it's fabulous! All singing, all dancing, and hilarious. Also, a lot of musicals - 'sound of music', 'my fair lady'... Do they really count? I'm sure if I saw them (which one day I will) I'd prefer the stage shows... Does that mean I also discount 'the Railway Children', because I prefer the book?

I will also confess to being a 'Twilight' fan, but again, if we're discounting films of books that I love...

It looks like the Slipper and the Rose wins. At least today...
