#7 – Crimson Tide
This film is about periods.
Colourfulness: 47%
#6 – Ladies in Lavender
Ha ha! Look at them there, in all that lavender. This is vintage Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith. Always getting in the lavender and then coming home smelling of lavender and you have to give them a bath. Anyway, this is a film about two old dames who befriend a “mysterious stranger” who washes up on a beach near their house. It turns out he’s a Polish violinist and not a paedophile as the term “mysterious stranger” implies.

Salacious unsimulated fellatio scene? What salacious unsimulated fellatio scene? This film is about an ADORABLE BUNNY. Get your minds out of the gutter.

#2 – Blood and Chocolate
This sounds less like a Hugh Dancy film about werewolves than 1) a colour palette from the early Noughties: “Hey guys, so I was thinking warm earthy tones for the atrium? I’m seeing blood and chocolate?” or 2) a discount fetish supermarket.

#1 – Navy Seals
BOOM! That was Charlie Sheen throwing a grenade into a seal’s face, probably. BOOM! Winning! The real winners here are us, the audience.
