Film recommendations; the fourteen year old version

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

Following on from Judith's spontaneous list of films, I asked Benedict to write a list of favourite films/series for me. Here it is:

Iron Man
Captain America
Avengers Assemble
Fantastic 4
Rise of the Guardians
Star Wars IV-VI only
Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
Casablanca
Oblivion
Johnny English
Italian Job
Amazing Spiderman
Indiana Jones
Passport to Pimlico


Also a very good list. I feel we should offer him more Ealing comedies, also I haven't seen any of them (with the exception of Hot Fuzz, which is only an honorary Ealing comedy) for far too long.
We own rather fewer of them - only Avengers Assemble, Fantastic 4 and the Tolkien films. Wreck-it-Ralph, Cars and the Incredible Hulk were all on the long list but bumped from the short list for other films. I think we talked about Harry Potter too. So more overlap with Judith's list than you might think. I really want to see Oblivion now, coming to a date night near me soon.

I have a complete set of the Ealing comedies, if you'd like to borrow them.

Yes please! But he won't be home for the rest of the summer, so maybe in September, if that's OK?

If he hasn't seen Kind Hearts and Coronets yet he should do so as soon as possible. "I shot an arrow in the air/she fell to earth in Berkley Square..."

I'm not sure, I think he may have. He's not here at the moment to check.
