So, today I'm going musical with my top ten list. I adore musical theatre and thought I'd share a few of my fave shows with you. I've drummed up a few videos to give you a better idea of what each show is like. Here we go....
1) Elisabeth
1) Only Lovers Left Alive |
Tom Hiddleston, vampires and existential crisis - what more do you need? | |||
2) Lost in Translation | A film that had a huge impact on me the first time I saw it - and still does. | |||
3) Unrelated | An amazing film from Joanna Hogg with stellar acting from the cast. | |||
4) Nymphomaniac | Lars von Trier at his best in a thought-provoking piece on sex and sexuality. | |||
5) Donnie Darko | Another film that really spoke to me when I first saw it as I turned twenty. | |||
6) Pans Labyrinth | Beautiful, enchanting and creepy. This is del Toro at his absolute best. | |||
7) Open Hearts | A perfect performance from Mads Mikkelsen and a deep, heartfelt film. | |||
8) Amelie | The sweet film that gave the Hollywood rom-com formula a European twist. | |||
9) The Piano Teacher | A wonderful adaptation of the book with an amazing performance from Huppert. | |||
10) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind | Quirky and fun, yet also full of deeper ponderings. I never grow tired of this one. |
1) Tom Hiddleston |
How could anyone resist Tom? He acts, dances, sings, plays guitar and is the all-round perfect English gentleman. | |||
2) Mads Mikkelsen | Mads has the older-man allure working for him. Especially as Hannibal Lecter in the TV series Hannibal. Notice a cheekbone theme? | |||
3) Benedict Cumberbatch | Another British gent. Ben does not have a classical beauty but he has a style and look all of his own and is a wonderful actor. | |||
4) George Blagden | Youngest of the bunch (almost feel I'm cradle-snatching), George is a rising star having first made his name as Athelstan in TV series Vikings. | |||
5) Misha Collins | Everyone's favourite angel. I love Misha's quirky sense of humour on Twitter and his down to earth character. | |||
6) David Tennant | David has great charisma, especially in shows such as Doctor Who and Casanova. He also rocks Shakespeare. | |||
7) Ewan McGregor | Ewan is a versatile actor whose indie work I particularly love. Who didn't fall in love with him in Moulin Rouge? | |||
8) Daniel Gillies | Daniel plays to perfection the oh so noble Elijah in The Originals. Boy can that man wear a suit. | |||
9) Alex Skarsgard | Alex is of course currently best known as Eric in True Blood and he could suck my blood any day. | |||
10) Robert Carlyle | And finally Rob who has starred in some great films and TV series and who always continues to please. |
