Here are some films for you to watch while you're quarantined :)

MY PERSONAL ALL TIME FAVOURITE:

https://i.imgur.com/7m6bNwx.jpg


When Sally (Marilyn Burns) hears that her grandfather's grave may have been vandalized, she and her paraplegic brother, Franklin (Paul A. Partain), set out with their friends to investigate. After a detour to their family's old farmhouse, they discover a group of crazed, murderous outcasts living next door. As the group is attacked one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), who wears a mask of human skin, the survivors must do everything they can to escape.


In my opinion one of the top scifi movies of all time:

https://i.imgur.com/C1TVNoa.jpg


An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

A really good movie showcasing the lives of some EOD troops:

Following the death of their well-respected Staff Sergeant in Iraq, Sergeant JT Stanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge find their Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit saddled with a very different team leader. Staff Sergeant William James is an inveterate risk-taker who seems to thrive on war, but there's no denying his gift for defusing bombs.

A timeless Disney classic:

https://i.imgur.com/zoVQ3nQ.jpg


This Disney animated feature follows the adventures of the young lion Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), the heir of his father, Mufasa (James Earl Jones). Simba's wicked uncle, Scar (Jeremy Irons), plots to usurp Mufasa's throne by luring father and son into a stampede of wildebeests. But Simba escapes, and only Mufasa is killed. Simba returns as an adult (Matthew Broderick) to take back his homeland from Scar with the help of his friends Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella).

The first part of the finale of the Infinity War Saga:

https://i.imgur.com/BeHTl9B.jpg


Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet -- the evil Thanos. On a mission to collect all six Infinity Stones, Thanos plans to use the artifacts to inflict his twisted will on reality. The fate of the planet and existence itself has never been more uncertain as everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment.

A very good film from the 80s:

https://i.imgur.com/8pRmypH.jpg


Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal (Paul Gleason). The disparate group includes rebel John (Judd Nelson), princess Claire (Molly Ringwald), outcast Allison (Ally Sheedy), brainy Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) and Andrew (Emilio Estevez), the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

A movie version of High School Musical:

https://i.imgur.com/rKQY8wA.jpg


College student Beca (Anna Kendrick) knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust in among mean gals, nice gals and just plain weird gals, Beca finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions.

This film is routinely said to be one of the greatest of all time:

https://i.imgur.com/BzSHoar.jpg


Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, this mob drama, based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name, focuses on the powerful Italian-American crime family of Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando). When the don's youngest son, Michael (Al Pacino), reluctantly joins the Mafia, he becomes involved in the inevitable cycle of violence and betrayal. Although Michael tries to maintain a normal relationship with his wife, Kay (Diane Keaton), he is drawn deeper into the family business.

I'll always love Christopher Reeve for his portrayal of Superman, no one can top him imo:

https://i.imgur.com/QiJrgjy.jpg


Just before the destruction of the planet Krypton, scientist Jor-El (Marlon Brando) sends his infant son Kal-El on a spaceship to Earth. Raised by kindly farmers Jonathan (Glenn Ford) and Martha Kent (Phyllis Thaxter), young Clark (Christopher Reeve) discovers the source of his superhuman powers and moves to Metropolis to fight evil. As Superman, he battles the villainous Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), while, as novice reporter Clark Kent, he attempts to woo co-worker Lois Lane (Margot Kidder).

I recommend everyone watch this film - Contagion from 2011 (and is on netfix atm). It is pretty real on what is happening across the world at the moment.

2001: a space odyssey is a brilliant film so definitely adding a +1 to that recommendation.

Recently watched Peanut Butter Falcon too and it's brilliants, an indie film that made it massive. Really feel good film if you're into that kinda stuff.

Contagion is freaking terrifying DO NOT WATCH THAT IN THE CURRENT SITUATION

I would recommend Passengers if you like sci fi movies but easy watching.

For feelgood easy watching, MAMMA MIA!

I recently also watched Victoria & Abdul which was a very sweet historical film :)

A friend of mine gave me a massive selection of horror films to work through during this quarantine, in return I gave him a bunch of foreign language stuff that I'm into, but I hate horror so much I haven't watched a single one yet.

Jaws, Blair Witch project and Blair witch, Event Horizon, Funny Games, The Thing, Fear 1 and 2, Branded, Dog Soldiers, Dead End, Extreme R-point, Night of the living Dead, Cube, Evil Dead trilogy. Whether or not they're all 'horror' or not, the idea was it was meant to give me a better idea of the genre etc.

Go with Night of the Living Dead first, it is a classic and the film that really kick started the zombie genre

Help Desk Manager applications are now open ;|||||

Space Jam is the greatest film ever made and the remake is going to be very upsetting. Another superb film that gets massively overlooked is Hedwig And The Angry Inch which everyone should def watch
