There is a wide range of music genres and types in my five favourite albums, certain music reminds me of certain places, like the first Arctic Monkeys album reminds me of holidays as a kid as it was regularly played. 

Favourite Five Films

1.      Trainspotting

2.      Youth in revolt

3.      Nowhere Boy

4.      Submarine

5.      The Grand Budapest Hotel

All these films are interesting, none are maybe the best visually or action wise however they are all films I could watch over and over and still not grow tired of. Films with an interesting story line that interests you whilst at the same time as entertaining you.

Favourite TV Series

1.      The Following – An American crime drama that follows the story of a murderer setting up a string of highly intelligent murders, attacks and cults. The programme is intelligent and tense, leaving you to sit on the edge of your seat the whole time.

2.      The Walking Dead – An American horror drama that tells the story of the zombie apocalypse sweeping the world through a deadly disease and how the survivors manage to survive. Moments of tension between zombies and even other human’s makes you think what would happen if the world actually did end up like this.

3.      Skins – A British comedy/grim drama that follows the lives of teenage youth in Bristol. The programme makes you feel for some of the characters and loathe others cleverly giving a personality to a character. Many now famous British actors featured in early series such as, Nicholas Hoult and Dev Patel.

4.      Peaky Blinders – A period drama set in Birmingham in the early 20^th Century follows the lives of gang culture and family rivalries and is based on the stories of the notorious ‘Shelby’ family. The programme interests the viewer with some of the best staging and backdrops I have ever seen on any TV programme, as well as this, the British actors and period costumes are incredible.

5.      Orange is the New Black – An American comedy/drama that is set in a female prison.

Favourite Five Bands

1.      Cream

2.      The Smiths

3.      Catfish and the Bottlemen

4.      The Wytches

5.      Lower Than Atlantis

The variety in music choice is based on the mood and what I feel like. Five bands is extremely hard to pick so I went for five different sounding music and picked my five favourites from these categories. It is impossible to listen to one style of music and never stray. Some bands are mellower and some more heavier, some older and some newer. All intriguing and extremely good in their own way.

Favourite Five Actors

1.      Michael Cera

2.      Nico Mirrallego

3.      Scarlett Johansson

4.      Emma Stone

5.      Woody Harrelson

I don’t know much about actors or acting skills so I went to my favourite films and selected the most interesting characters and thought about which actors managed to completely transform themselves into another person on film, as that’s what makes a good actor.
