Movies you didn't expect to enjoy ...

Went with the kids to watch Lego Movie and Paddington enjoyed both if I'm honest!

The first Toy Story. I whined and whined about why everyone else wanted to go and see some trite-looking kids' cartoon. Two hours later and I'm in raptures about how magnificent it was.

I'm not being funny, but, to tell you the truth, your campaign has no chance of being successful. In my opinion. To be honest, I think you should chill, live and let live - that's what I think anyway. If I'm honest.

When you have young children, it is a revelation how many good films there are that are aimed at them - many of which are mentioned above. My kids are older now, and so I don't get to see these films anymore.

Any parent who expects to not enjoy films such a Toy Story is in for a treat.

Moneyball, no interest in baseball and sports films are generally iffy but I like Bradley Pitts and gave it a go. Hands down one if the best films I've ever seen. You don't have to have any interest in baseball to get into it. Smashing film.

Edge of Tomorrow. Knew nothing about it bar Tom Cruise and lovely Emily - thought it a terrific ride

In the discussions here about our player recruitment policy, seemingly reliant on stats, I thought of Moneyball. Great film and goes to show how the odds on that method being infallible are so sky high that success means Hollywood make a film out of it!!

Bridesmaids, what can be that funny about a group of women going on about a woman getting married?

I found it one of the funniest comedies out there, great script writing.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Surprisingly entertaining.

The Place Beyond the Pines. I'd loved Blue Valentine, which took 15 years to make, or something, and you could feel the slowly-built connection and love for. Pines, though, I thought all too quickly lost its way, and made the blunder of having Bradley Cooper play a key role. Increasingly bobbinsish.

I'd told the girlfriend that we could watch a "comedy" on Sky t'other week. And we didn't. We watched Bad Neighbours. What shit.

In a similar vein I was dubious when Horrible Bosses was suggested by the better half .... f**king funny !
