My Top 5 Films (Spring Edition)

I don't think I have done one of these before, but I thought I would talk about my five favourite films. If I have done one of these before, I cannot find it and they have changed anyway, so it doesn't matter anyway! I hope these will give you some new films to try and make you rewatch old ones!

5. Skyfall and Spectre
I love James Bond. I think I have watched 90% of the James Bond films and although I am not yet at the bit where I know everything, I love them because I just enjoy the action in them. Skyfall was where I really started my love for James Bond and it holds a special place in my heart because of it. Spectre is currently sat next to me, waiting to be watched after I got it for my birthday and I must say it is a close contender to being better than Skyfall, but not quite. Also, I like the Bond song for Skyfall, as it is Adele.

4. Cinderella (Disney 1950)
Cinderella is one of those films that has always been in my life so I couldn't not include it. The story is so romantic and I have grown up with a dream of being Cinderella and I still have that dream, although it is less realistic than it was when I was 5.

3. Wild Child
This film cracks me up every time. It is such a light chic-flick and I love the story. It is definitely one to watch when you are ill because it will instantly cheer you up. My favourite line has to be "well, I went for my 11 o'clock Wagon Wheel!"

2. Harry Potter
Like Spectre, the box set is sat next to me, yearning to be played as soon as I have time. I cannot wait to watch them again because they are such a good set of films. I loved the books and when I watched them, they lived up to expectations. I cannot wait to buy the Cursed Child script which is out soon in WHSmiths and other stores.

1. Love, Rosie
I rewatched this last night and I stayed up until some unearthly hour to finish it because once you start it, you cannot stop. It is a sad, happy, funny film that makes me cry and laugh at the same time and I would recommend that everyone watches this because it is such a good film.

I am sorry I didn't upload the haul, but I have stuff coming in the post and I haven't had the time to put it all together, but it will be soon!

What are your favourite films?

My Top 5 West Side Story Songs

As you may know, I was in the pit band for our school production of West Side Story this year. I have had so much fun and obviously, I have learned most of the songs because I have to play them. I thought that I would give you an insight into my week by giving you my 5 favourite songs of the play, along with a bit of background information.

5. Gee, Officer Krupke
This song is very hard to play but it is so upbeat and funny to watch. It is all about the gang who have problems of their own but always get chucked off of the streets and have nowhere to go as a gang. The dance that goes along with it is so funny and the choice of characters for it was perfect.

4. Tonight Quintet
This song always makes me feel happy because, in the school version, it has all of my favourite people in. It is a very powerful song. It is set out so well and there are so many parts to it!

3. A Boy Like That and I Have A Love
In the play, this song is sung by Maria and Anita. Anita is telling Maria to stop being an idiot and stop seeing Tony. It is a beautiful song and the harmonies at the end are incredible.

2. Dance at the Gym + Mambo
These songs are so upbeat and the dances for this are so good! I love it when you get to shout "MAMBO" in the middle of the phrase!

1. America
Obviously, this song had to be included. It is a massive number and is one of the most well-known songs from West Side Story, if not the most well known. It's such a sassy song and it is so catchy The dances are so well choreographed as well!

I hope this gave you an idea of some of my favourite West Side Story songs and maybe even give you something to listen to!

My Top 5 YouTubers

I love YouTube and I thought that I would share with you my 5 top YouTubers at the moment. Some are bigger ones and some are smaller ones, all of which should have more subscribers because they are so good! This is not in order, by the way!

5. Gabriella Lindley
I love Gabbie. I have been subscribed to her since she had 800 subscribers and now she has got nearly 800,000, which is incredible. Her videos and so well done, her content is always brilliant and she puts so much effort into her videos. She deserves so many more subscribers because she is fabulous. Also, I love her vlogs because even if she just talks and she isn't doing much, I always like to watch them because they make me smile!

My favourite video - Saying Goodbye

4. Beckii Whiting
I found Beckii through Twitter and I have loved her ever since. She is so funny and her Twitter is hilarious. I love her content and she always puts effort into her videos. She deserves way more subscribers because she is such a good YouTuber!

3. Zoella

2. Sprinkle of Glitter
