Incredibles 2
I love this movie more and more each time I watch it and I've now watched it 2 times since it was released it from the cinema and I also watched it at the cinema with my mum and my 14 year old brother and they'll both agree when I say that this is a must-see family film!

I like this movie because it has the superheroes saving the day it also has a great comedy side when Mr. Incredible has no choice but to watch the kids when Elastigirl has to go away for work. While she is away, Mr. Incredible finds out something strange about his son, Jack Jack. Meanwhile, Elastigirl has some problems of her own...
It his a great movie because it has action and comedy and adventure. The last time I watched this film was a few months after its release and I couldn't stop laughing but, at the same time, I was worried for Elastigirl (I won't reveal why as it may spoil the film). I advise all ages to watch this movie with the family or by yourself and you will probably feel the same way about the movie as I do.

Dumbo

If you have not yet seen dumbo, I will not spoil it too much. However, I shall put some of the plot on.
I saw dumbo at the cinema just a few weeks after it was released and I thought it was amazing! I saw the original when I was very young and didn't enjoy as much as some other Disney films but I thought it was fairly good. Most of all, however, I enjoyed the songs. 
I thought Tim Burton did a brilliant job on this movie. I could tell it was him from the music as sometimes directors hire the same composer and it sounded similar to the music in Edward Scissorhands. Somehow, it brought out the magic in the movie in a very creative way. From the moment dumbo rose from the ground, you could not see his feelings through his expressions but hear his feelings through the music. Danny Elfman did a spectacular job in this film.
I thought the cast was great and they did some brilliant acting in this movie. Collette is played by Eva Green, who starred in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. She was amazing and also did an amazing job in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which Tim Burton also directed and I'm not surprised he wanted her again in yet another astonishing masterpiece. Colin Farrell also starred as Holt, who along with the rest of the circus crew, saves dumbo and his mother and reunites them once again. Danny DeVito also stars and plays a poor circus owner in need of money and a showstopper. Michael Keaton plays Vandemere who helps the circus if Medici, the circus owner, gives him his show, dumbo.
And of course, Tim Burton directs dumbo, who also in the past directed many great movies such as Frankenweenie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Batman Returns.
I highly recommend this movie to the whole family because, in my opinion, it is pure Disney Magic and if you have any spare time this Easter, go and see this movie!

Some Like It Hot
"I'm a man!Nobody's  perfect!"
Image result for some like it hot marilyn monroe
Some Like It Hot is a comedy starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis.
I like this film because it is very funny, especially at the end when Jack Lemmon attempts to pass as a woman and is engaged. He says to his fiancé "I'm a man!" and he says back, "nobody's perfect"
Out of all the movies I've watched, that scene is my favourite.
Jack Lemmon, who portrays Jerry, and Tony Curtis, who plays saxophone player Joe, are on the run from a gang after they witness a mafia murder. They need to escape Chicago, but how?

Singing in the Rain
SECRETS
To spray so much water, high pressure was needed and when people got home from work, there was a massive pressure loss.
Gene Kelly had a dangerously high fever and between shots, the film crew would try to dry his suit to prevent him from catching pneumonia.
The sequence that Kelly used has also been used in many other films such as in 'in Shanghai Knights'.
The cameraman had to backlight the in order to make it show up.
Gene Kelly was always a second or two late although he had had many rehearsals.
So Kelly could see where he was supposed to splash, the filmakers dug into the cement and then filled them with water.

Lady and the Tramp
"Side by side with your loved one, you'll find enchantment here. The night will weave its magic spell, when the one you love is near."
First of all, I like this film because it is about a pet dog who is going through hard times when her owner has a baby because she feels alone. She meets Tramp who is a care-free dog who roams the streets. It has songs from Peggy Lee, who I personally think is a great singer, and a great voice cast of Barbara Luddy, who has starred in many of Disney's other animated films, and Larry Roberts, who stared in Lights, Camera, Action!, as Tramp. Peggy Lee also voices four characters: Peg, Darling, Si and Am. As Peg, she sings the songs He's a Tramp. Watch it at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhJcyrkfjQg
Lady, who is a pampered dog with lovely owners, faces problems when her owner has a baby. Her owners go for a while and Aunt Sarah and her two siamese cats Si and Am, voiced by Peggy Lee, are left to look after the baby, the house and Lady. The cats mess the house up and tricks Aunt Sarah into thinking that Lady has attacked them. Therefore, Aunt Sarah takes Lady to get a muzzle. Worried, Lady runs off and finds herself on the streets, alone. She then meets a pack of stray dogs and is saved by Tramp. Ly is caught and sent to the Dog Pound where she finds out the truth about Tramp.

Singing In the Rain 

 Make 'em laugh!
I like this film because it has a bit of comedy in and it's about how they use to perform old movies and it also is a musical. Now, some of the songs are very famous, such as Good Morning and Singin' in the Rain.
The cast include Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly.
Kathy, played by Debbie Reynolds, voices Lina Lamont, played by Jean Hagen, in the cast's first sound movie, due to her very high voice.
Personally, the ending is the funniest part because Lina is on stage 'singing', Kathy is actually doing all for her behind the curtain of the premiere. The curtain gets pulled up by Don - Gene Kelly - Cosmo (Donald O'Connor) and R.F. Simpson, who is the owner of the film company and played by Millard Mitchell. Then, Cosmo starts singing as Lina is.
I'm singin' in the rain,
Just singin' in the rain

My favourite film
Titanic (1997)
"I'm flying Jack"
My favourite movie is Titanic because it is a romance and an adventure aboard the doomed liner, Titanic.
Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a 3rd class man who wins his ticket aboard the Titanic. He falls in love with a 1st class girl, portrayed by Kate Winslet, but Rose is already engaged to Cal - played by Billy Zane. 
Jack saves Rose from jumping off the liner and earns himself a dinner with her and her family.
Soon, Rose falls in love with Jack and meets him at the bow of the ship. There, they perform one of the most famous scenes in movie history: the Flying Scene.
When the ship hits an iceberg, Rose and Jack go to their parlour suite and warn her mother and Cal.
Because Cal doesn't like Jack, he frames him of stealing his very expensive necklace: The Heart of the Ocean, which he has bought for Rose. Therefore, Jack gets tied up to a pole at the very bottom of the ship, where it is filling up with water.
Rose goes ave Jack and they are together in the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Rose is laying on a door and Jack is holding it in the water.
"I'll never let go, I promise..."
