  The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 2005

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Mar 2025

  You might not think you needed this, but this is your reminder that Narnia is absolutely class.

  As a child, I was always a Star Wars person, but I must say I distinctly remember having quite a Narnia phase at one point.

  This is definitely an enjoyable film but I think I'm finding the more and…
