Here's a variation on the usual Desert Island Discs format. You can take seven movies with you. What would they be? Put an asterisk by the one you'd save if your hut caught fire :-)

My seven (in no particular order) are as follows:

1) Star Wars: A New Hope*
2) The Fisher King
3) The Shawshank Redemption
4) Leon: The Professional
5) Hunt for the Wilderpeople
6) Back to the Future
7) Withnail & I

With the Sunday XI picked from the following:

1) Guardians of the Galaxy
2) Despicable Me
3) Dr Strangelove
4) Pulp Fiction
5) From Dusk Til Dawn
6) It's A Wonderful Life
7) The Truman Show
8) Fifty First Dates

Have a think what yours would be (or just blurt it all out) :-)

Cabaret
Godfather (is the Trilogy allowed?)*

I dare say I have forgotten ones I really love. I also couldn’t decide where to place my asterisk. In the end I went for Bogart and Bacall. “You know how to whistle don’t you, Steve?”
