My Favourite Films of 2015

My friends and I are constantly sharing film and DVD recommendations and over this past year I have come across quite a few movies that have really stuck with me and have stayed some of my favourites. These are the movies that  have loves consistently though 2015, they might not have been released this year but they have all been loved just as much.

If you have any other film suggestions then please let me know!

   

   

AMY - Ever since I was younger I have adored Amy as a person and so when this came out there wasn't a bone in my body that didn't want to watch it. This is the story of Amy, it is raw and beautiful, it shows how her rise to fame was ultimately her downfall and reminds us all that she was just a normal London girl with an incredible talent. Even if you aren't a fan of Amy's music, I highly recommend that you give this a watch.

THE DUFF - On the slightly more comedic side of things this film is a feel good classic, it reminds me of Mean Girls and Pitch Perfect (without the ridiculous amounts of singing). I love it, it's hilarious!

IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY - This film is a little more serious, it discusses a teenage boy who is suicidal and checks himself into a hospital, yet he seems to find himself in there. He finds love and happiness, he makes friends and grows as a person. It's also based on a book which I haven't yet had the chance to read but films that are based on books are always somehow my favourites.

LOVE, ROSIE - A friend of mine actually went to the premier for this last year and she absolutly adored the film, however it wasn't until I got Netflix that I decided to check it out for myself. This is one of those absolutely wonderful stories of friendship and love, something that I seem to adore in films.

STUCK IN LOVE - I don't even know where to begin with this film, it is one of the most important films in my life and I honestly watched it three times in a row one night this summer. I don't know how to explain it without making myself sound like some crazed fan of this film because in reality that's what I am. If you're in the US then it is on Netflix, if you're in the UK then its £1.99 on Amazon to own a physical copy. Please watch this film.

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER - When I first read this book I was 13 years old and wasn't in the best head space, I was drawn to it like most people were due to the fact that there was a film of it coming out. The book quickly became one of my most treasured possessions and it was clear that the film would be just as important to me. It follows a young boy who has just started high school, he doesn't have the best mental health and is considered a 'wallflower', that is until he meets this new and interesting group of people, they change his life and welcome him into a world that he had never imagined before. This film broke me and put me back together again, I love it and I want everyone else to love it as much as I do.

THE ART OF GETTING BY - Again, this is set in a high school and follows a boy around on his senior year as he attempts to get his life back together. I found this film in 2012 and I still love it just as much, if not more.

500 DAYS OF SUMMER - This is the one film that I feel like everyone has to watch at some point, it may seem a little confusing at first but once you get into it it becomes one of those feel good movies. If you need any reasons to watch it then it has Zooey Deschanel and young Chloe Grace Moretz in and that should be reason enough.
