when matea from the amazing 'enchanted gardens' asked if i could suggest her some films to watch in reply to candy, it gave me an idea to make a 'favourite film' post.
i love watching lots of different types of films; comedy, drama, psychological thriller, documentary etc. but when i sat and wrote down my most treasured films i quickly realised how most of them were all classed as 'independent'. although independent films are probably my least watched kind of film among all the (many crap) hollywood ones i watch, the indie films were the style that made the largest impact on me. i remember these films the most because of their unique directing, or their stunning cinematography, or their multi-layered characters, or their approach of new ideas or fresh, satirical reworking of hackneyed ideas. all these elements combined made a lasting impression on me, and by sharing these with you maybe you will be presented with some films that will change the way you think, or inspire you, or perhaps i will merely re-introduce you to them. i've definitely forgot some but hopefully you can share your favourite movies too, i need some new ones to watch xo

Oh, I am so glad to have found your blog :) I love most of the films you've listed! I'll need to write a list for the ones I haven't seen, and watch them over the weekend. The concept behind the films you watch is lovely. I too, like the independent type films.. it's almost as if they have more authenticity. Following, dear. :) xxxx
I must save your movie list, i am always on the hunt for more to watch! These two photos are lovely, especially the Ferris wheel one :D xxxxx
love the photos!
