Big Fan of Ghilbi films and this film is nothing short of a unknown masterpiece. When watching the movie you look deep within the characters situation and try and emphasise. Especially when we were younger.

Visually i was amazed, for 1991 its superb in every aspect. Some real rich environments are created setting the mood for each scene. Those ghibli fans expecting something like Howls,or Spirited Away then this is nothing like you have ever expected.

To me the film almost felt truly art-house and call me strange but it felt the same type of sadness as i felt with the film 'In The Mood For Love' Directed by Wong Kar Wai.

I highly recommend this film, not to children though but more for adults.

Top gun, loved and loathed by many alike. The film that launched Tom Cruise's career. I'm a student and watching Top Gun for me is an amazing uplifting experience. A 'feel good' movie that could lift the worse of moods.

The film executes cheese to perfection, yes there are some silly lines but there are some real good ones too! The aerial action sequences are truly amazing, and for 1986 nothing short of magnificent.

The reason why Top Gun appeals to me...Imagine yourself on a Saturday night, not painting the town red staying in for the night. You have your few cans of Budweiser, your nachos what more could you ask for.

From the amazing flight sequences, Mavericks motorbike, trashy romance and to the cool 80's soundtrack. Top Gun should be taken for what it is. An entertaining Film.

In terms of storyline and dialogue Vera Drake is amazing, it contains really well acted parts of the scenes which seem so realistic. I personally think this is due to Mike Leigh's technique of directing which incorporates that of improvisation. The story flows at a nice gentle pace and which does not lead to much boredom, the plot is not convoluted and is pretty simple to follow. This is not a negative view as the film contains a lot of a emotion within it. If you like a film that is emotional and yet follows lots of sociological issues within it, this film would definitely swing in your favour.

Overall i think anyone who wants to get away from all the Hollywood whizz bangs should consider Vera drake.
