My all-time favourite films include George A Romero’s zombie classics, which have been a huge influence, and Young Frankenstein, which I first watched on 16mm film.

The Artist

Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.

And I was delighted to see The Artist do so well. I’m not a fan of 3D; it generally feels like an intrusion.

The director Luc Besson's film The Fifth Element, it's disconnected from typical Hollywood language, which makes it feel different.

Léon: The Professional

Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.
Simon Pegg
Actor
Jean Reno plays Léon almost like a silent film star. It’s such a brilliant juxtaposition of innocence and brutality where he’s this killing machine but also like a little boy who drinks milk. He also practices good social distancing by using the sniper rifle – when you’re a really good assassin you can use a knife, but in a pandemic you’d have to use the sniper rifle

You knew they weren’t really there with the actors but somehow it integrated well and there was a brilliant enjoyment of the artistry of it I loved as a kid. I don't think I cared, I just remember thinking “ah it's there!” and loving every moment.

Jason and the Argonauts

Jason, a fearless sailor and explorer, returns to his home land of Thessaly after a long voyage to claim his rightful throne. He learns, however, that he must first find the magical Golden Fleece. To do so, he must embark on an epic quest fraught with fantastic monsters and terrible perils.
Simon Pegg
Actor
As a piece of cinema that Ray Harryhausen did, as the animator, it was a time when stop-motion animation was utterly acceptable to us as a proxy for fantasy – it wasn't like “oh it doesn't look very real” – it didn't matter that it wasn’t real, the fact was Harryhausen just masterfully animated these things, put them in, it looked like a special effect but you bought it and you loved it because of that.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Thirty years after defeating the Galactic Empire, Han Solo and his allies face a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren and his army of Stormtroopers.
Simon Pegg
Actor
He waited until he was absolutely ready and made something that was one of the best films of that year. That year you had The Force Awakens, both of which starred Oscar and Domhnall, and at the other end of the spectrum you had Ex Machina which is a smaller but no less weighty sci-fi.

Ex Machina

Caleb, a coder at the world's largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a private mountain retreat belonging to Nathan, the reclusive CEO of the company. But when Caleb arrives at the remote location he finds that he will have to participate in a strange and fascinating experiment in which he must interact with the world's first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot girl.
Simon Pegg
Actor
This one, it’s just a beautiful, beautiful, film; it’s like a three hander: it’s Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander. It could almost be done like a play. There are some other characters, some other sort of synthetics that exist around that little threesome, but it’s mostly them; it’s so beautifully written and shot.

Sharp Teeth

An ancient race of lycanthropes survives in modern L.A. and its numbers are growing as packs convert the city's downtrodden into their fold. Stuck in the middle are a local dogcatcher and the woman he loves, whose secret past haunts her as she fights a bloody one-woman battle to save their relationship. Sharp Teeth is a novel-in-verse that blends epic themes with dark humour, dogs playing cards, crystal meth labs, and acts of heartache and betrayal in Southern California.

The Wasp Factory

The polarizing literary debut by Scottish author Ian Banks, The Wasp Factory is the bizarre, imaginative, disturbing, and darkly comic look into the mind of a child psychopath.Meet Frank Cauldhame. Just sixteen, and unconventional to say the least: Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through.

This was all [George] Lucas of course. There’s a great documentary about it on Netflix called The Toys that Made Us. The stories of the Star Wars figures are insane: no one wanted to do it, no toy company wanted to take it on.
