10.Clifford The Big Red Dog (Norman Bridwell)
A young girl’s named Emily love for a tiny puppy named Clifford makes the dog grow to an enormous size. This isn’t perfect at all as it isn’t subtle and it might be a little hyperactive at times. This is cute and heartwarming and Jack Whitehall is genuinely funny, for me personally it’s the acting that made this film rather good, the story is spot on and the film itself is likeable and this is fun, if you are a dog lover you will enjoy this film and this is well made, this is an enjoyable film.
9.Hook (J.M Barrie)
When Captain James Hook kidnaps his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy. Perfectly paced film which I grow up watching this film, Dustin Hoffman is perfect as the villain as he is sinister and this film is exciting, in some ways this is a Christmas film but you can watch this film anytime you like, it might be rather dated for some people but this is still a good film, it got a good cast and this is a superb film.
8.Narnia 2005 – 2010 (CS Lewis)
Four kids travel through a wardrobe to the land of Narnia and learn of their destiny to free it with the guidance of a mystical lion, the children meet eccentric characters along the way and them coming of age. Eye catching film with amazing CGI/SFX that look realistic, it also suitable for a rainy day and this is pure escapism and the pacing is spot on, the films itself are memorable and always consistent and these are entertaining, overall, these are the best fantasy movies.
7.How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Dr Seuss)
On the outskirts of Whoville lives a green, revenge – seeking Grinch who plans to ruin Christmas for all the citizens of the town. I just think in general people should look to the moral, it also dealing with the anti-bullying and the appearances aspects, I personally connect with that message myself and this is a brilliant film, it might be rather full on for certain people but if you get past that this is an underrated Christmas film, this is silently surprised you as well.
6. A Series Of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket)
When a massive fire kills their parents, three children are delivered to the custody of cousin and stage actor Count Olaf, who is secretly plotting to steal their parent’s vast fortune. Gorgeous looking film with an unrecognizable Jim Carrey, this film will divide people as some will like this and some don’t, it’s the acting that made this film good and the story is spot on, it also got an all star cast and this is well made and it can be rather funny, this is colourful and this is enjoyable.
5.City Of Ember (Jeanne DuPrau)
For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember’s once powerful generator is failing and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. A brilliant adventure film with two likeable lead and this is eye catching, this is an underrated film and the story is perfect plus it is well casted, it is exciting and the film itself is gorgeous to look at and this will draw you in, overall, this is an enjoyable adventure film.
4.The Call Of The Wild (Jack London)
As the great Klondike Gold Rush is attracting both ambitious treasure hunters and bold adventurers to the unforgiving territories of Canada’s late 1890s Yukon, Buck, a pampered St. Bernard – Scotch Collie dog, finds himself without a master in a frozen new world. One of my personal favourite films with stunning scenery, it will move you as this doesn’t feel forced or too sentimental, this feel epic and this is perfectly paced as it holds your interest, this is exciting and you will care about with these characters, it will leave you a lasting impression on you.
3.How To Train Your Dragon (Cressida Cowell)
A hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed. Charming and an epic type of film which is exciting and a thrill ride experience, for me personally this is one of the best films of these trilogies and the characters are great, it also got an unlikely friendship aspect and people will connect with that, it is cute and heartwarming film which you needed.
2.Paddington 2014 – 2017 (Michael Bond)
Having settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, Paddington has become popular in his community, offering people emotional support in various ways. Both films are consistent and they are heartfelt and it will capture people heart, it is funny, charming and it will made you smile from start to finish, this is a rainy day and a pure escapism type of film that is relatable, this is suitable for all ages and a family viewing, I’m sure this will become a timeless classic for this film.
1.Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2009 – 2013 (Judi Barrett)
After Flint Lockwood made food fall from the sky with the FLDSMDFR, and then there were food hurricanes, now he is working at Live Corp with his hero, Chester V. But suddenly, Flint realizes that the FLDSMDFR created living food. Wonderful animation film that will made you smile, it is laugh out loud funny with great characters and this is colourful, it also about chasing your dream and people will connect with that, this is superb and a charming film, these films are consistent.
