The perfect movie for anyone who ever fell in love; with a person, a band, a song... The "Untitled" cut makes the journey last a little bit longer, and I savour every minute of it. It's all happening.

Much like Almost Famous, you feel closer to this film each time you watch it. It's a truly special piece of storytelling by Woody Allen, funny and sad - or as I like to call it, melancomic.

I loved Peter Lorre in The Maltese Falcon, so when I heard he was in an all-out comedy I was delighted. Turns out it's the ultimate screwball comedy! By the end of it, my lungs hurt from laughing.

I used to be a bit of a sci-fi nerd, and now I'm a bit of a film noir nerd. I love this on both counts. The new tin boxset gives you everything you could ever need from it too.

The film that made Dustin Hoffman famous, and rightly so. Pretty much a perfect comedy. And Anne Bancroft was somewhat alluring...

The first ten minutes are word-for-word from a Hemingway short story, and then a visually striking and tragic tale of a good guy led astray is built around it.

A very different intepretation of Philip Marlowe to Bogart's in the Big Sleep. Great noir stylization, plenty of witty dialogue and a naturally ridiculous Raymond Chandler plot.

Written and acted, but not directed, by Woody Allen at not necessarily his best but his outright funniest. Being a fan of Bogart too, this is pitched right at me.

My favourite of Miyazaki's magical films. It does inexplicable things to me, especially the beautiful image of a train travelling across the sea.
