Riz Ahmed’s Top 5 Favourite Movies Of All Time

In the latest episode of our podcast Dua Lipa: At Your Service  – out tomorrow, Friday 22 April – actor and musician Riz Ahmed shares the films you should add to your watch list.

  1. La Haine . It’s such a cool, funny, entertaining, hard-hitting, political movie about growing up on a housing project in Paris.
  2. The Thin Red Line , a Terrence Malick film about war and loneliness, is so beautiful and has an amazing soundtrack.
  3. The Godfather: Part II  – I like the first one more, but part two has got both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro and you can’t really beat that. Growing up, watching Italian-American stories, I was seeing my experience on screen – the immigrant, outsider experience.
  4. For that same reason, Goodfellas  comes in at number one. If you haven’t seen Goodfellas , stop everything and do that now!
  5. I am going to be biased and say a film I was lucky enough to be a producer on recently, which made history for being the first film nominated for Best Foreign Language, Best Documentary and Best Animation: Flee . It is a beautiful and moving story about a gay Afghan refugee; a story that will live on, as it is sadly becoming more and more relevant.
