Movies starring Elle Fanning

My Neighbour Totoro (1988)

86 mins     Adventure , Animation, Family      

To be honest I am not the biggest fan of animation, I find that whilst many can impress on a visual level the actual storylines are weak. But the few Studio Ghibli movies I have watched have thus far impressed as whilst the o...

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)

106 mins     Comedy, Drama, Family      

Did I really just see a smiling dog; no seriously I am sure I just saw a dog smile, not once but again and again. That is probably one of the things you will remember the most about "Because of Winn-Dixie" because whilst it i...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

166 mins     Drama, Fantasy, Romance      

With all the marketing hype and award platitudes dished out on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" it is one of those movies which any fan of the silver screen feels obliged to watch, to see what all the fuss is about. Sadl...

Somewhere (2010)

97 mins     Comedy, Drama      

During the first 15 minutes of "Somewhere" there is no dialogue; there is a shot of a Ferrari circling a track a few times and twice we see twin pole dancers who come to Johnny's room, put on a show to help him sleep and then...

The Nutcracker in 3D (2010)

110 mins     Action , Family, Fantasy      

What the frickedy frack was that. I am sorry but I am dumb struck by "The Nutcracker in 3D" an utter cacophony which kind of reminded me of the musical which appears in "The Producers". From a musical number which features Ei...

Super 8 (2011)

112 mins     Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

"Super 8" made me feel old on so many levels. One of those levels is seeing this compared to "Stand by Me" for the 21st century and I can appreciate why. With a group of friends, all specific character types, who have are bas...

Ginger & Rosa (2012)

90 mins     Drama      

Two days in a row I have found myself watching a movie where the director has treated the movie as a piece of art rather than focussing on the story and on entertainment. Now that isn't for me, I watch a movie to be entertain...

The Boxtrolls (2014)

96 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

Thinking back to my childhood, something which gets harder the older I get, I remember that pretty much every movie I watched I would enjoy, with the exception of historical costume dramas. It is why I can say with quite some...
