Eleven films I could watch over and over again

Much as I'd love to be sophisticated and cultured, I'm a bit mainstream in my film tastes.

Gregory's Girl - my very favourite movie of all time, it came out just as I was a teenager in a school in Glasgow, it was amazing seeing what my reality was on the big screen.

The English Patient - because Kristin Scott Thomas and Ralph Fiennes are just so in love.

Four Weddings and a Funeral - Hugh Grant, oh I so would

Braveheart - because I'm parochial, we all know that

Love Actually - because it makes me happy and I am a Christmas fanatic.

Sleepless in Seattle - oh the romance thaaang again, my name is auntiegwen and I am a mush junkie

Elf - who could not love Elf?

Cinema Paradiso - so so beautiful

Rocky Horror Picture Show - because I'm just a sweet transvestite (I'm not really)

Grease - more romance but less sickly sweet than some of the others

The Commitments - ooh it makes me laugh out loud, still, even now
