November 5 is Guy Fawkes Night, which is an annual celebration held primarily in Great Britain to commemorate the anniversary of the failed Gunpowder plot of November 5 1605. It was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland; the night is usually celebrated with fireworks and the lighting of Bonfires. With this night in mind... the theme for today will be films with Guy Fawkes-enjoy!
1 V for Vendetta (2006) Director: James McTeigue
Based on the graphic novel about a freedom fighter known as V (who wears a Guy Fawkes mask) and uses unorthodox tactics to fight against totalitarian society...
2 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) Director: Chris Columbus
Movie based on best selling books about a young man who goes to school of wizardry, with Professor Dumbledore who has a Phoenix named Fawkes after Guy Fawkes; film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design and Best Music...
I hope that the above list of picks will provide hours of cinematic pleasure-enjoy!
