A Knight's Tale

A bit of a guilty pleasure this one. Heath Ledger is great, but for me the whole thing is stolen by Paul Bettany's take on Chaucer!

Ace Ventura - Pet Detective

The original and the best, Carrey in his prime!

An American Tail

This is definitely a Sunday afternoon film, and if you don't cry at some point you have a heart of stone and a soul of lead!

Apollo 13

A very good telling of the ill-fated mission to the moon. It shows a side of people and science rarely seen, that when faced with almost certain doom, "failure is not an option".

Back To The Future Part 2

Not as good as the first, but still brilliant. The time travel stuff starts to get a bit confusing in this chapter.
