Mix Up Theatre's Top 20 Movies


1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Available on: Disney+



2. Raising Arizona (1987)



Available on: Sky Cinema



Stewart - ★★★★★

"A brilliant live action remake, the whole thing looks fantastic and fully grasps the feel of the original whilst giving a little grittier edge by being live action. The cast are excellent lead by Mason Thames fantastic as Hiccup. This beats probably every Disney live action."



Available in: Cinemas



Georgie (Age 10) - ★★★★★

"I really loved it, it sends a good message and I think everyone should listen to it and get it. Be outside more and play. I don't want to spoil it and give too much away but it's really good and funny aswell. Everyone should go see it. The toys are back."




5. Memento (2000)

Available on: BBCiPlayer


6. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021)

Available on: BBCiPlayer



Available on: Netflix


Stewart - ★★★★★

"A weird and wonderful animated film. Magical, stunning animation, fantastic characters and a bizarre storyline, it's a must-see for any Miyazaki fan. I'll never look at a parakeet the same way again!"



8. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)

Available on: Netflix





Stewart - ★★★★★

"The documentary is a beautiful promotion of indigenous culture and language. The father son relationship is lovingly shared and it's a compelling theme of following your dreams. Fun to see the voice actors at work as well working on The Lion King dubbing.

There was something quite fitting and poetic about seeing a wild fox walking the streets of a bustling Edinburgh city as we were on our way to the cinema.

Hackucha Manayta."





Daniel - ★★★★★

"This was an absolutely amazing film and is definitely one of my favourite all time films.

I enjoy this film because of the absolutely amazing, creative plot twist and it also had a great cast."


Available on: Channel 4

Stewart - ★★★★★

"A beautiful animated film following the strangely interlinked lives of two teenagers. The characters are fully rounded, likeable and the audience fully invests in their story. The story is part body swap comedy and part intense end of the world drama. The visuals are absolutely stunning, what a gorgeous film to be swept away into including those beautiful shots of the sky. See this one now if you haven't already - and if you have, watch it again."



12. Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)

Available on: Disney+


Available on: YouTube


Stewart - ★★★★★

"A haunting, strange animated film with that wonderful track from Eluvium. It's super creepy and creates a mysterious world all of its own. With echoes of David Lynch it's inspired and one that I just want to explore again as we follow a man's journey to a strange hotel. Animation is fantastic as well. Perfection."


14. Train Dreams (2025)

Available on: Netflix


15. The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025)

Available on: Sky Cinema






Matthew (Age 15) - ★★★★★

"The Last Blossom is a beautiful, tragic film about the life of the main character Akutsu. The film is told through flashbacks Akutsu has as he lays dying in prison, discussing his life with a talking balsam flower, who berates him over the fact that his fear that getting close to those he loved would put them in danger meant that he never told them how he truly felt, leaving him alone in a prison cell for 30 years. Akutsu refutes this, but it is up to us to decide if he truly wasted his life, or if his sacrifice was worth it to ensure the safety of those he cared for. The scene where Akutsu manages to "turn it around" was truly masterful, signalling both a continuation of Akutsu's love for his family and the end of his life. The Last Blossom's ending is both tragic and beautiful, as Nana, the woman Akutsu loved, finds out that he loved her back, but only after years of wondering. The Last Blossom truly is a beautiful and heartfelt story about the struggle to provide for your family and the things you are willing to sacrifice for their happiness."



17. Nomadland (2020)

Available on: Disney+




18. The Abominable Snow Baby (2021)

Available on: Channel4




19. The Dark Crystal (1982)






Stewart - ★★★★★

"It's a beautifully unique animation that has an eerie Gothic atmosphere. Fantastic character design as well as we follow a male dhampir (half man/vampire) who is hunting down a vampire who has abducted a young woman.

Alongside him is a crew of bounty hunters on the same mission whilst the vampire himself is protected by a dangerous group of creatures.

It was great to see this film for the first time up on the big screen, with a fantastic introduction from the Scotland Loves Anime team.

A highly recommended film for fans of vampire tales and animation - surreal, dreamlike and beautiful."
