My lists depend on the day you ask and the mood you find me in; however I've tried to reflect my love of solid gold childhood favourites such as Back to the Future and The Sound of Music, along with thoughtful, contemporary arthouse directors such as Celine Sciamma and Kelly Reichardt. Then there are the bitingly funny gems that deserve to be more widely known, such as The Last Seduction and Babyteeth - ultimately very different films but both incredibly slick and satisfying.
