No matter how many times I watch it I still can’t believe how good it is.

What’s your favourite film that not that many people know about?

I was literally looking at that on Netflix a minute ago but decided it probably needs more attention than I'm willing to provide right now.

Maybe during the week.

My favourite film is a French film called La Haine. A day in the life of three guys in a Parisian ghetto amidst riots over police brutality. It’s a masterpiece. Pure and simple.

I like Old Boy (Korean version). Not one I watch over again but it opened up a whole other of genre of film.

Arrival I just love that film makes me think about time and life.

The Martian and Hidden Figures are my go to when I want to watch something I just love.

I do like a cheesy disaster film too though.

Brick. It’s a film noir with all the elements, the gumshoe infatuated with the victim, the femme fatale, the mysterious antagonist… but it’s set in a high school with teenagers. It’s completely brilliant, but I’ve never met anyone else who’s seen it.

High Fidelity is great! On a Nick Hornby theme, one of mine would actually be 'Fever Pitch', but the Arsenal fan in me probably makes me like that film more than others might!

Another would be 'Goodbye Lenin', which I'm a complete evangelist for...

Tonnes of well known films. Obviously we will all have loads of them.

But “understated success”: I loved “13 hours: secret soldiers of Benghazi”. (On sky download now-very shooty to be warned). Got hammered because of people were being snobby towards Michael Bay.
