The 1940s House (2001)

Fantastic concept, and they couldn't have chosen a better family to take part.

The Hymers were a perfect example of a 21st century family reliant upon pre-packaged food and the luxuries of modern living, so having to deal with the austerity and deprivation of wartime conditions came as more than a challenge for them.

In true boyhood spirit, the boys grasped the experience with both hands though :-)

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

Angela's Ashes (1999)

A fantastic film about one boy's struggle through grinding poverty to manhood. There are many bleak and tragic moments, from the outset, but it is a highly inspiring film about the power of the human spirit against all odds.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008)

Very powerful. Fantastic acting by Asa Butterfield. A brilliant film, but one that I can only watch once - it got into my head and it was all I could think about for days afterwards. Whoever you are, make sure you have a big box of tissues ready when you watch it.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

Hugo (2011)

A wonderful, magical, enchanting film. Asa Butterfield lights up the screen with his performance.

10 / 10

Into the West (1992)

A fantastic movie, blending gritty realism with myth. Two boys rescue a horse from a millionaire horse-racer and run away to the west of Ireland, pursued by the horse's owner and the police. Their father, who abandoned the family's travelling lifestyle after the death of his wife, enlists the help of his old gypsy friends to find his sons. In doing so, he becomes the father he should have been before once again.

10 / 10

Millions (2004)

A simply beautiful film.

Both boys were fantastic, and it was brilliantly directed.

Second Best (1994)

A true classic. Sometimes upsetting & disturbing, but always thought-provoking and heart warming. Chris Cleary-Miles is just superb.

It's just a crying shame I had to find out about this movie by accident.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

The Sixth Sense (1999)

Widely regarded as a truly original movie. Bruce Willis is actually very good in it as well, proving he can act when he wants to, without having to wear a dirty vest.

If there is anything more amazing than Haley's debut (well, almost debut), it's that he's managed to escape the possible typecast of being 'the kid from the Sixth Sense'.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

Stand by Me (1986)

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

The Tic Code (1998)

Outstanding movie. Christopher Marquette's performance is amazing - several scenes brought tears to my eyes.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

Futuristic re-telling of the story of Pinnochio. Fantastic movie, and yet another fantastic performance by Haley.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Big (1988)

Big Daddy (1999)

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Billy Elliot (2000)

A fantastic film which must be seen. Jamie Bell makes a superb debut as a boy growing up in the north of England during the eighties' miner's strike who takes up ballet dancing, much to his father's initial chagrin.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

The Boy from Mercury (1996)

Fantastic :-) A brilliant film about boyhood fantasy, brotherhood and friendship.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

A fantastic adaptation of the book. Freddie Highmore was wonderful - he has a very natural talent, and Johnny Depp's performance has just the right amount of lunacy and sinister undertones.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)

Very amusing film. Zachary Gordon is great, and the format with the diary inserts works very well.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

The extra-terrestrial film that every other aspires to or tries to imitate. Henry Thomas is superb.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10
