FUN FRIDAYS – DIRECTOR’S FAVOURITE FILMS – MIKE NEWELL

Hi Film Folk!

Since Britain is currently hosting the Tennis and about to welcome the world into the Olympics, The Film Doctor Team thought this week’s Fun Fridays post should be about somebody British.

And we chose ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’, ‘Donnie Brasco’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ director Mike Newell.

Here is Mike’s list. Rent them, buy them, watch them. See what influenced today’s living finest!
