      It changes but I really like V for Vendetta, I think Natalie Portman is a really good actress.

      My all time favourites are One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (about a mental hospital – it’s funny, sad, upsetting and uplifting all at once), and also Trainspotting (also funny, sad, upsetting and perhaps not so uplifting). I like watching lots of films – I saw Cloud Atlas at the weekend, which I really loved…its pretty complicated as it has 6 different stories in it, all set in different times!

      This is called an open ended question because it is not very specifis. There are about thirty types of film. I find it difficult to have a best film because it depends on my mood. Do I feel like thinking about a musical today than mayge caberet. Do I feel like a thriller then maybe the Manchurian Candidate, something romantic Casablanca, Something horrible ?? and so on. Try not to get hung up on one best thing. The world is full of wondeful things. You should let your mood dictate what is best at that moment. As you grow older other things will become best. That’s life.

      I have a few favourites really, Contact, Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Trainspotting,44 Inch Chest and loads more.

      I love Ray Winston, he’s one of my favourite actors.

      I went to see Life of Pi a couple of weeks ago, and it was good but I had read the book just the week before and the book was incredible. I felt the film was a summary of the book and not so great really.

      And I saw Les Mis last week and really enjoyed that story.
