6. Quills

What It Sounds Like: With a title like that, you€™re almost guaranteed a safe bet for something to watch with mum. After all, Quills... let it roll around the tongue.

What It Actually Is: Brace yourself, €˜cause your mum might not be quite so keen for the actuality of Quills. Trade your old goat for a corset-wearing Kate Winslet and a randy, foul-mouthed Geoffrey Rush as the Marquis De Sade and you€™re closer to the finished product.
