Braveheart (1995)

It's quite old now but it's just a great film, isn't it? Mel Gibson's war cry for freedom is so memorable, and the way they used the horses in the battle scenes as well. It's brilliantly filmed and I know it is a little bit far-fetched in places but you're convinced it happened that way while you're watching it. Of course I'm a proud Scot and follow the rugby team. They're playing much better at the moment and [legendary BBC Rugby commentator] Bill McLaren taught me PE at school in Hawick.

The Hangover (2009)
