Noel Clarke, actor, screenwriter and director, LOVES Pulp Fiction “Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, a multi-plot story about LA gangsters, was the film that really cemented my decision to get into the film industry. Until that point I had always believed that stories in films had to be told a certain way, like A, B, C. “Pulp Fiction completely played with the order of things, but still the story worked. No one before had ever shown me you could be so creative. Now that sort of thing is commonplace, although not always executed as well. From then on there was no stopping my imagination and I started formulating ideas that would later become some of the movies I’ve made and some of the movies yet to come.” Lorraine Candy, Editor In Chief, ELLE, LOVES Withnail And I “I met my husband on a blind date 15 years ago. It didn’t start well – we had absolutely nothing to talk about. The evening looked like it would end early until we started talking about films. We both knew most of the lines from Withnail And I, it was the one thing we had in common that evening. It saved the date and we’re still together.” Henry Holland, designer, LOVES Pretty Woman “My film choice was the unexpected hit of the early 1990s – the epitome of yuppie culture. Pretty Woman was an iconic film that defined a generation and is often described as a modern day Cinderella. “The significance for me personally is that it awoke my fashion consciousness at an age when I was becoming aware of the power of clothing and how it can change people’s perceptions of you as an individual. My favourite fashion moment from the film is the fabulous brown spotty dress that Julia Roberts wears to the polo – tres chic.” |
