- Jackie & Jane Eyre are other good options

DAY 3 - a film that has more than five words: I presume this means film title. The Wind that Shakes the Barley

DAY 7 - a film that you will never get tired of: Clue
- American Psycho, the Fifth Element, Stardust, Go

DAY 8 - a film where you liked the soundtrack more: I liked Bad Times at the El Royale pretty well, but the soundtrack was the best part.
- Wild Rose and, just recently, Wendy were not my cup of tea, but had good soundtracks

DAY 12 - a film that you hate from your favourite genre: I love mysteries, and I hate (a lot, but not all) of the 70s Murder on the Orient Express. Albert Finney is a great actor and a GODAWFUL Poirot
DAY 13 - a film that puts you in deep thoughts: The Muppet Movie.
No - I don't know. I'm still trying to puzzle out High Life. Or the Lobster is a good ending to get you thinking

DAY 15 - a film that makes you feel happy: The Scarlet Pimpernel
- Everybody wants some!!, Atomic Blonde, Princess Bride, Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Home for four years

DAY 21 - a film that you dozed in: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I rarely fall asleep in films, but I wasn't very interested in this one (see: romcoms, above) and I was jetlagged.
