I made it to day 30 everybody. But unfortunately the daily posts were delayed by me selfishly spending too much time writing my book... but don't worry. I've put them all below so you don't miss out.
I didn't want to repeat any films in my 30 days because then you don't have as much say... and that was difficult, especially when you can use so many examples for even one of the topics for each day. For example I can give you like 20 examples for my favourite superhero film...
But anyway. Let's get down to the details.
Day 21... A film that made you fall in love...
Okay you caught me. I've duplicated. But I had to because it's Love Actually, and it is the perfect film to back up the idea of a film making you fall in love. It may not have helped me fall in love physically (I've never really had much luck in that department tbh) but it always helps me believe that true love is out there for everybody... and that I'll get my shot one day!

Day 22... Your favourite film set in a fantasy world...
I can't remember whether I've duplicated this one either but there are only really two fantasy sagas you can put for this question, and that is Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.
I've been obsessed with Lord of the Rings since I was 10, and even before that we got read them as bed time stories, and I love that the movies were everything I wanted out of that world and more.
Same with Harry Potter... I may have been a late bloomer in terms of reading the books, but the movies really do transport you to a magical world within our own.

Day 23... A film that means a lot to you personally...
I don't really have any films that mean a lot to me personally... but I care a lot about the ones that hit the emotions hard.
The film The Impossible is one of those movies where I didn't feel like I blinked. And it's something I can't imagine or ever put into words as to how the families affected by the tsunami were feeling. But I do feel like you experience every single emotion with the family in that movie.
I cried so much during this movie because there is so much pain. People say they'll act one way when faced with something like that, and I'd like to think I would be as strong as Lucas was, especially when thinking you'd lost your entire family, and in a foreign place. But I feel like I wouldn't.
I suppose it means a lot personally because I never want to lose my family. The thought of losing my family just isn't an option for me because I would lose my three best friends and live wouldn't be worth living without them really.

Day 24... A film made by your favourite director...
Saving Private Ryan is up there with the tops for me. And it will remain one of the greatest World War Two movies in existence. And if they ever remake it I refuse to see it.
And you can't go wrong with Steven Spielberg either.
I did D Day depicted in film for my dissertation at university, and I used Saving Private Ryan as one of my films, and even soldiers who were there told historians how realistic those first 27 minutes are. You feel like you're ducking under the water and crawling amongst bodies just as much as the soldiers are, and even I can't imagine ever having to face going out there, let alone going back there.
Spielberg also directed Jaws, which is the only (kind of ) horror/thriller film I will ever watch so that's got to count for something eh?

Day 25... A film that inspired you...
I'm saying The Kissing Booth, not because of the film, but because of the book. The book was written by a person who loves writing enough to put her work out there, and it took off. The Kissing Booth is one of the most popular teen books and teen comedies on Netflix, and it all came from the mind of Beth Reekles.
I read The Kissing Booth before I read After (also a Wattpad author gone viral) so The Kissing Booth takes the crown this time, although both inspired me to get my books written and down on e-paper and now I have one book e-published!

Day 26... A film that made you feel happy...
This film really makes me happy. Instant Family is not only is it a comedy but it is a wholesome family film about keeping together and becoming a family, through thick and thin.
There's crying, there's screaming, there's emotions, there's heartbreak, but most of all there's love and happiness... and a happy ending, so what is there not to love!

Day 27... Your favourite superhero film...
It's Captain America: Civil War. It just is. Cap's my favourite original Avenger, and there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with this film. Well, apart from the fact Thor and Hulk were missing. But we got Thor Ragnarok, so all good.
It had Bucky, it had a 45 minute fight scene, it had Black Panther, it had laughter. You meet Spider-Man (my favourite Avenger). Ugh. It just has everything.
And the soundtrack was so good as well. Loads of people hate it but I really love it. Siberian Overture and Cap's Promise - the beginning and the end - are the best ones because I love the horns and the violins togethers. I could go on all day but I will save it for when they appear in my music playlists!

Day 28... A film that changed your life...
Dark Waters. Hands down. It opened my eyes. I can't really describe how much it opened my eyes on here because it's hard to describe just how much DuPont destroyed hundreds of thousands of people's lives, and have affected millions more.
Please watch it. You will not regret it.

Day 29... A film that you didn't want to end...
Of course I didn't want this to end. I'd spent 11 years of my life invested in all these movies, and Avengers Endgame was where it was all tied up. Avengers: Endgame was the end, and I never want to accept that.
There were so many questions left unanswered after Infinity War and the Big Snap in 2018 and I actually hoped Avengers Endgame wouldn't answer them all so that we could get another one. But no, they couldn't do that.
It was so good though. I went to go see it 6 times at the cinema and I'd go again if it ever gets re-released again because it is a movie that is truly made for the big screen.
I never want the Marvel franchise to end. I love the Marvel movies so much, and it's a part of me... I love you 3000. And if you don't get the reference then you're not a true Marvel fan...

Day 30... A film with a beautiful ending...
Frozen II. I love the ending. Everything is happy. And if they try for Frozen III I don't know how they're ever going to make that work.

Also I know this is like a month late. I had finished it, but I got so busy between the end of June and now that I completely forgot to post it! And I couldn't put in all the work and not post it, so these are the last 9 days of the 30 day film challenge I did in June.
