My favourite movies are Harry Potter. It’s a fantasy film, with stories about the wizarding world. There were four directors across every film, with Chris Columbus directing the first and second film, and Alfonso Cuarón directing the third. Mike Newell directed the fourth with David Yates staying the longest, as he directed the last four films. The first movie was release in 2001 and release in 2011 for the last movie. Daniel Radcliffe are in it as the Harry Potter. It’s based on the book by J.K Rowling. I really like it because it’s such an amazing movie that is very well made with very detailed sets, ornaments, costumes, effect, and etc. Maybe because I watched the first movie, the first actor were the same age as me, so that’s also one of the reasons I like it.

[@user-qv3zp1th9t]

When I was a teenager, I liked horror films, thrillers, action films, but now I love romantic comedies, science fiction and historical films. To tell the truth, I prefer to read books.))

[@ivanalarissanirwasita4486]

I could say that I’m really into romantic films, and I have my favorite one, in the title “Cinderella” I could say that, this movie is kinda musical too, cause I could find a lot of parts where they are singing and it was amazing. So this movie was released on 11 March 2015, it’s a Kenneth Branagh film. Lily James and Richard Madden are in it. It’s set in the 1870-the 1880s somewhere in rural France. It’s based on a book by Masaru Mizutani, who is from Japan. The reason why I’m really into this movie is that I thought it was touching, where cinderella should survive from her devil’s stepmother and finally could found her soulmate. All of the character or artist that are in it is believable, their acting was so excellent and I am still amazed by a lot of special effects that are given in this film, it looks like they working hard on it.

[@nicokrisna8737]

Im going to tell about one of my favorite movies "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian". The director of the film is Andrew Adamson. It is a Action, Fantasy film and is based on the novel by C.S.Lewis. The film tells the story of the four children from the human world who saved Narnia. They were four Pevensie brothers who were later crowned king and queen of Narnia. After several years passed, now they are back to that place. Since the four Pevensie brothers left Narnia. Narnia's condition began to fall apart when the Telmarine invaded. After King Telmarine is assassinated, Lord Miraz attempts to usurp the throne. In the hands of Lord Miraz, the Telmarine Kingdom became a cruel kingdom and tried to conquer Narnia. I enjoyed this film because the acting cast is well acted and because I like genres film Action, Fantasy.

The last film I saw was Avengers Endgame, this is a type of movie of sci-fi, but it has a little of comedy and Action. I like it so much, it's impressive! The central characters are Ironman, Captain América, Hulk, Thor, Black widow and many others. This movie has been the biggest hit around the world!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi Estefania, thanks for sharing! Here's a correction for you: 'Endgame. This is a sci-fi movie, but...' not, 'Endgame, this is a type of movie of sci-fi...'.

I'm going to tell you about the film "Hit & Run". This film is one of my favorite Indonesian films in the action comedy genre. This film is very good and the plot is not boring. This film is about a celebrity police officer who is assigned to catch a drug lord who has escaped from prison. This policeman carries out his mission with a friend, a singer, and a young boy. What I like most is that each player has a different character and they can play well and professionally and the ending is unexpected

[@hayafathiyyahh3486]

I want to talk about the movie "The Medium", which is one of my favorite movies. The director of the film is Banjong Pisanthanakun. It is a Horror or Supernatural film and is based on the true story of a shaman from Northern Thailand in the Isan area. Shot in footage or pseudo-documentary style resembling Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, the film begins with a documentary team investigating and surveying the shamanic practices of the Isan people in northeastern Thailand. The film tells the story of the shaman's nephew who is possessed by many evil spirits that he eventually makes everyone possessed and die. I enjoyed the film because the acting cast is very believable, and the screenplay is quite good with the nuances of regional traditions there. This is the best horror documentary I've ever seen.

[@alexquiroga319]

My favorite movies is in search of happiness. This film interesting, because describes as story that happened, the actors are representated by Will smith and a child. The father does everything possible to achieve life and share with his son. On other hand the father strives to get a good job and thus change his life.

I'm going to talk about my favorite film from the last few years which was Bahubali. It's a historical film and the cast and crew were amazing. Director Mr.Rajamouli took almost 5 years to complete this movie and both the lead actors were quite incredible. Their acting skills in this movie were outstanding. I watched a plethora of movies but it is the best one. It's a historical movie but it is having all emotions like love, happiness, sadness, helping nature and so on.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Nice answer about your favorite movie! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) If it's still your favorite film, use the present simple tense: '...which is Bahubali'. 2) 'I've watched a plethora of movies...' not, 'I watched'. 3) '...but it has all emotions like...' not, 'is having'. Hope this is useful for you!

[@mabelmoreno9676]

My favorite movie is V for Vendetta, It is a story of a fictional future where England is a fascist state. a masked man seeks the destruction of a cruel and corrupt government, and the freedom of the people. The movie stars Oscar-winning actress Nataly Portman. It is a film about recollection, discrimination and homophobia. I should watch the movie several times to understand its context.

[@liaa4162]

Hello, I am going to tell you about one of my favorite movies which is "Train To Busan" I watched this movie four years ago but I still can remember the whole plot of the story in this film. "Train To Busan" is a film from South Korea by Yeon Sang-ho and about the genre is horor, action, and drama. I really like the plot story from this movie and actually the main actor. He is my idol from South Korea his name is Gong Yoo. He is so handsome and very kind and I also like when he acting on movie or on drama. This movie is very interesting especially the storyline. The shooting location of this film is in the Busan Station. This film tells the story of people who are infected with a virus and turn into zombies and want to survive. The actors who play in this film are trying to save themselves from being infected by the virus, but only two people can survive. Actually There are 3 people but one of them, my idol, chose to sacrifice himself because he was infected by the virus while trying to help someone. It's sad ending for me because my idol Gong Yoo death in the end :( .

[@divafaridhatul8573]

I cannot forget about Enola Holmes film because I like mystery, Millie Brown was the female lead character and Louis Patridge was the male lead character. The movie was released last year, 2020. The movies combined comedy about how they can escape and solve the problem together. If you wanna know the synopsis, while searching for her missing mother, the brave teenager Enola uses her detective abilities to outsmart her brother, Sherlock, and help a runaway noble. Interesting plot, I like it!

[@juanpabloorjuelabernal9013]

My favorite movie is Scarface. Scarface is a 1983 American movie directed by Brian De Palma. Starring Al Pacino. He is a famous actor in several very well known movies in the world. The script was written by Oliver Stone and is inspired by the 1932 movie of the same name, directed by Howard Hawks. The movie recounts the rise and fall of Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who manages to form an empire based on drug trafficking, power and the mafia. In my opinion it is a very good movie, which shows the real life of a drug dealer, the dangers of drugs, the power of money and bad friends.

The last film I saw was GREEN BOOK it was Drama and comedy film, I like because the film was based on the life of a Black man, he was discriminated for his skin color but he was an excellent pianist. The film was Released in september 2018 and this film won a Oscar award as film of the Year.

[@lingpingzhang6427]

I am going to tell you the film upside down. It is realistic and touching. I do not know the names of the two leader actors but their performances are really amazing and believable. It’s set in the contemporary. The reason I like it is because the plot is so touching and unpredictable and more importantly, the ending is happy. I would like to say it is one of the best films I have ever seen.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Nice answer about the film, Lingping. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...of the two lead characters,' not, 'leader'. 2) '...set in the present,' not, 'contemporary'. 3) Capitalize the name of the film: 'Upside Down'. Hope this helps you!

I like comedy and romantic movies. The name of my favorite movie is me before you, because in this movie it is shown that love arises where one least expects it. I also like it because it shows the reality when you are bad everyone goes away and that is when you realize who were real with you.

[@sufibintikhofifah5796]

I really enjoy watching mystery movies, Rom-coms, dramas, Sci-Fi, Musicals, Comedies. But I don't really like thrillers or horror movies because they make me scared and anxious, but I can watch them sometimes if I want. So I'm going to tell you about a film that I like Enola Holmes which is a mystery/adventure genre and is set in England around the 1900s. The director of this film is Harry Bradbeer and stars Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Patridge. The film is based on the book of the same name by Nancy Springer. This film tells about the adventures of Enola Holmes to find out the whereabouts of his mother who suddenly disappeared and met Lord Tewkesbury. This film is very amazing, fun and it's really recommended

[@marineelire]

I am going to tell you about one of my favorite movies. The movie is called - Madam Web. It is a Marvel movie, so you can expect loads of special effects, a bunch of actions, and outstanding storytelling. What is more, it is starring by Dakota Johnson and other famous actors cast. It is not boring to tears at all, instead it is gripping as well as moving. If I am not faulty, it's set in New York in the 2000s. In addition to that, there is Britney Spears' song "Toxic" in the movie. Last but not least, it is based on comic books around the Spider-Man Universe.

[@nabilaarianiprastiya1473]

Here, I'm going to tell you about Back To The Future movies. This is one of my favorite movies. Actually, there are back to the future 2&3 and the line is connected. it's a sci-fi classic, comedy, and a little bit of romance film. The story was about a young man and a science doctor who created a car time machine to go to the past to solve the present problem. it was directed in 1985 by Robert Zemeckis and it stars Michael J.fox as a young man and Christopher Lloyd as the science doctor. Most of the story takes place in Hill Valley which it's a fictional town in California. I really enjoy the movie because the line story and special effects are amazing. The story was really interesting. It's good fun, thought-provoking movie and some comedy scenes make this movie hilarious. The stars acting are believable and it makes me excited in every scene. So recommeded!

My favorite movie is The Hunger Games, when i watched it for first time I was totally into it. The story is based on the books of Susanne Collins but even if you have already read the books, the movies is still interesting.

Recently, I saw "The Return of the Condor Heroes" film. This is second time i saw it because it's a one of my favorite films. It's a martial art film. Tran Hieu and Tran Nghien Hy are in it. It's set in China in about 13th century, during chaotic wars. It's based on the book by Kim Dung - a famous writer in China. The story was interesting and original. The acting was amazing - really believable. It's got quite good reviews. Some audiences don't like it because they criticize actress not beautiful , lol. It helps me more understand about China's history, bravery and how to behave with people in life .It is a good film that i have ever seen.

The Wolf of Wall Street. It is a very interesting movie, because it deals with issues of money and power, it is not an unpredictable film, because it is a society that turns you into money. It's a movie based on real events, it's based on the life of Jordan Beltford and it's the best movie I've seen.

I like dramatic movies for their format and script that entertains me. My favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This movie is interesting because it talks about how to forget a love. But in the attempt he discovers that it is impossible to stop loving her. The director of the film was the renowned Michel Gondry who is French. Made in the USA in 2004

I'm going to tell you about the film Parasite which is a popular film recently. It was nominated for six Occars and won four honorable awards. That's so amazing and it is a surprise to the international community about a film which does not use English. It was directed by Bong Joon-ho and it stars Choi Woo-shik who is my favorite actor. It is a drama. The film mentioned about the problem of rich and poor division in society today and the difference in their lives. The lead actor was really good and the film was believable and thought-provoking. However there are a few scenes that makes you scare. I think you should watch it if you like drama.

I enjoy watching movies, like romcom, thriller, sci-fi, or fantasy. One of my favorite movies is Twilight. It’s a romantic and fantasy movie. It stars Kristen Stewart who was Bella, a female lead character and Robert Pattinson who was Edward, a male lead character. The movie was released in 2008. The movie combined romantic love with Vampire and human beings, which is set in a small town in the US, and the plot was really attractive. I was touched by Bella sincerely and deeply loved Edward, she preferred to become a vampire for staying with Edward forever. On the contrary, Edward constantly tried to prevent her from being a vampire and protected her all the time. they got lots of difficulties but she eventually became a vampire and his wife. It was so sweet and lovely. The movie was based on a series of the same name book written by Stephenie Meyer. There were three sequels after the first movie. I like the first one and the second one most.

I would like to tell you about Forrest Gump. it is a 1994 American comedy-drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth. It is based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film differs substantially from the novel. I like this film because I see the whole story of Forrest growing up. His childhood problems, how he falls in love with Jenny and loves her till her end, the military, Ping pong, running over almost the whole U.S.A, meeting with the president, and a lot more. Not only his physical or moral development, but I can also see especially how philosophically Forrest grows and he becomes like a friend through his narrative. But not only Forrest becomes a friend for the audience, we worry about almost every character who was met by Forrest. Bubba, Lieutenant Dan, Forrest’s Mama, and Jenny. Some of them are not the best persons, they do bad things, but it is not even noticeable. As Forrest, they also go through character transformation.

I am really into comedies acted by Steven chow, he is the king of the comedy in my country, and he can always make films hilarious and meaningful. I do learn some punchlines like "what's the difference between u and a slob, if u have no dream?" i heard a lot of people convey the idea that tragedy outshines comedy coz nothing left in your mind after belly laughs,my perspective is quite opposite of that, to some extent, comedy involves something deeper but presents in a way that's not so heavy and cruel so audience won't indulge themselves in heavy and overwhelming sadness but still see hope and inspiration in life.

It’s based on the biography A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar. It got really good reviews and won several notable awards, including Academy Awards (“Oscars”) in the categories Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress. I really like it because the story was touching and original. I would say it’s one of the best drama films I’ve ever seen.

I watched the film which is called Inter Stellar,and it is included in science fiction And film made so impressive because film destroyed our time perception and our intuitive time,it shows us that time is relatively And the director included the art in science fiction and for this reason film has a seductive power over people and it pushes us to move forward beyond our perception or what we can see... And whenever I watch it, it always stimulate my certain emotions deeply It is so touching...

Here are some corrections for you: 1) It's more common to say: '...it's a science fiction film,' not, '...it is included in science fiction'. 2) '...the film was so impressive because it...' not, '...film made so impressive because...'. 3) '...time is relative,' not, 'relatively'.

Although I’m a big fan of horror films, I also like true stories, the ones focus more on real people. “The Danish Girl” is one of my favorites films from the last years. I saw it when it was on in the cinema. Although part of the story is fiction, the main story is based on a real story of one of the first people to undergo sex reassignment surgery. It was set in Denmark, I guess in the 1920’s. It was a kind of drama and I found it really touching. I’ve even cried during the film. Eddie Redmayne plays the main character and was absolutely remarkable and believable in the role of Lili. I guess his performance was excellent. Despite he didn’t won the Oscar for this performance, he was nominated and in my opinion he should have won it. It was the same director as in The King’s Speech, other great movie, but I can’t remember his name. Sets and costume designs were very picturesque. Also Alicia Vikander is in it, performing as his wife. Some of her dresses were really beautiful.

Hi Daniel and Kasia, I’ve recently revisited a favourite film of mine. It’s called ‘Notes on a Scandal’ , have you heard of it? It stars Dame Judi Dench and Kate Blanchet. I’d probably describe it as a mixture between a drama and a thriller. It’s set in present days London and and it’s an emotionally charged story about an art teacher having an affair with her student. Both, Dame Judi Dench and Kate Blanchet, are outstanding in their performance. The story line is thought provoking and original. The film is an adaptation of Zoe Heller’s book and it was nominated for 4 Oscars and 3 Golden Globes. I liked the fact that the story focused on real people and explored the depth of the human nature.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for sharing, George. I haven't seen this one yet, but it looks good! Here are a few suggestions for your writing: 1) To use this phrase as an adjective, you can write: '...present-day London,' not, '...present days London'. 2) You can use a hyphen in this word: 'thought-provoking'. 3) '...the depth of human nature,' not, 'the human nature'.

One of my favorite movie is "The Greatest Showman" this movies is quite memorable in my memory because it’s very amazing and I can watch it again and again. This movies was first released on December 29, 2017. It directed by Michael Gracey. The main character in this movies is P.T. Barnum, played by Hugh Jackman, in case you didn't know he is the one who played Wolverine in the X-Men movie. And the other famous Actor that became my favorite are Zach Efron and Zendaya. All of the actors in this movie have really gotten into their own character so they act really well. It is Musical, Romance, and Drama, actually I have never seen a movies based on a musical before, because I used to think that a musical movies is less challenging and boring, but after watching this movies I realized that not all movies have to be and action, but it can be enjoyed by seeing the good storyline. Also The Greatest Showman win the Best Original Song by Motion Picture award on 2018 Golden Globes.

Hi, I'm going to tell you about the film " The Battleship Potemkine". It's the first film I saw when I was teenager. It's a silent film set near Odessa in a ship in 1925. This drama was directed by Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein, and produced by Mosfilm. It's stars are : Nikolai Aseyev, Sergei Tretyakov, Alexander Antonov, Vladimir Barksy, Grigori Alexandrov.The idea of the film that consists in a rebellion of the crew of a Battleship against his officers, seems simple, but in fact deeper than we can think. Despite its slowness, the film was moving, the actings really believable, thought provoking because some scenes let us have in mind a lot of questions. The film was named as the eleventh greatest film of all time by the British Film Institute. Thank you very much for the help.

Fox, Christopher Lloyd, who embodied the protagonists was a very good way, he allowed himself to be the highest grossing movie in its year of release.

I’m going to tell you about the film “Don’t burn”, one of the film I like best. It’s a historical film directed by people’s artist, director Dang Nhat Minh. it was produced in 2009 and based on the well-known diary of the female doctor martyr Dang Thuy Tram. It’s about the life of the Vietnamese and the noble sacrifice for the dream of peace and independence during the war against American empire. Plus, this film was made to honour the martyr Dang Thuy Tram, a young brilliant courageous female doctor. I learnt lots of things from this film such as the bravery, trong-will to get over the difficulty and the profound belief about the victory over American Army. The story-line is really touching. To be honest, it made me burst into tears many times. It was nominated several awards at VietNam film festival and the international film festival as well.

In recent months, I have watched an Indian epic film. It's the King - Porus. It's set in India, Iran, and Myanmar. It's a real story of the King Porus who lived from 400-300 BC. It's produced by a famous filmmaker in Bollywood. It's not a star-studded film but always set a record. All of the debuts were full of audiences, celebs, and fans. I'm really surprised by plausible scripts. All characters performed fervently. Although it has stereotypical characters, audiences were always attracted by its unpredictable plots even we did not want to skip any moment. Also, it aroused our curiosity to varying degrees due to unexpected plot twists. One of the most poignant scenes of the movie was that the main actor decided to kill her wife to protect his fellow. The soundtrack provided an extra feeling of tension and contributed to a somber atmosphere. The pace of the film was slow even some episodes were so boring. Sometimes, you can see some more contrived visual effects but in general it's a worth-watching film.
