  The Blue Lagoon 1980

  ★★★ Rewatched 21 Oct 2021

  Fun fact, the boat in this is The Golden Plover which I stayed on when it used to run tourist trips round the Whitsunday Islands off the east coast of Australia. More of a fact than a fun fact I suppose.

  Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 1999

  ★★½ Rewatched 23 Feb 2025

  Doing my taxes and wanted some background familiarity: it's not as bad as I remembered, VFX look great for the day, kids love Jar Jar Binks, young Obi Wan is cool AF.

  The legendary production designer Ken Adam once asked me what my favorite Hitchcock film was, I said North by Northwest, he nodded and said mine too.

  ★★★ Watched 17 Feb 2025

  Three solid stars - if you hated this go watch the original Colin Firth Fever Pitch, then you’ll realize this is a rom-com masterpiece.
