“I think this is an absolutely brilliant film but I cannot watch it because I've got two little children and I found the scene at the beginning with the boy falling and it would seem to be shot like Bill Viola or something really super slow motion and it's got a Handel aria or something which is so utterly moving. It's so I found it so manipulative and so I almost couldn't cope with it at all.”

“I saw Lynne Ramsay's film Ratcatcher here. That's absolutely completely brilliant. That film when I first saw that I was amazing. I saw her short film, I can't remember what that's called, beforehand before that and then Morvern Callar after that. It's amazing.”

“The Passion of Joan of Arc. I found this, well I've just written some music with my friend Will Gregory for this film. And this is the most amazing thing. A friend of mine showed me this because we were looking for a film to write music to and I looked at about 20 silent films with Will and this one just stuck right out.”

“Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. I'm really interested to see this again because I remember it really well on TV. Again, the BBC always showed really cool films and I found that so brutal, so absolutely vicious, and I'm intrigued to see it again. Yeah, it's amazing.”

“The 39 Steps. Yeah, I love this. I love all versions of this story but I particularly like this one with Robert Donat. Amazing. It's just because I love Scotland as well and it's shot in Scotland and the story is so exciting. It's completely brilliant and it's a bit cheeky as well. It's typically Alfred Hitchcock trying to get his camera up as many women's skirts as he can do.”
