  Spider-Man 2002

  ★★★★ Rewatched 26 Mar 2025 1

  The second movie in my birthday celebration is Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. The acting is goofy as hell, the filmmaking is over-the-top, and the dialogue is pure schmaltz, but I still love it all. Those who know me will be aware of how much of a Spidey fanatic I am, so it'll be no surprise as to why Raimi's iteration remains my most rewatched of them all. This 2000s blockbuster exists in a league of its own, combining an individualistic style of performance with a classic tale of good versus evil to create something truly special that only gets better with age.

  Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Mar 2025 2

  Seeing as it's my birthday, I've decided to have a night-in watching some old favourites, starting with the movie that kickstarted my obsession with cinema. Raiders is just sheer perfection from start to finish, featuring an all-timer score from John Williams which makes me feel like a kid all over again, taking me back to when my dad first showed me this legendary trilogy. You really cannot go wrong here!

  Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 May 2024

  An odyssey of revenge and a symphony of violence, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga proves that you don't need Max in order to tell a captivating story within this franchise. Indeed, the film thrives in his absence, telling the tale of how our protagonist went from an innocent child snatched from her home by a diabolical egomaniac to a woman forced to change by her experiences. It's fast-paced, presented in gorgeous technicolour detail, and might just be my film of…

  Last Night 1998

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Jan 2020

  I don’t know why, but this film really hit me in a weird way. All the way through, I was thinking about what I’d do on the last day of Earth, and I honestly don’t know whether I’d be with my family, my friends, living out personal fantasies or just waiting for it all to end. Probably the most realistic and poignant depictions of what people would do if the world was ending at midnight, without the cliches of showing the planet exploding around the characters or people trying to stop it. A lot of dark humour, which really helps to make this film. 

  4 stars.
