5 Albums:
//The Marshall Mathers LP.// One of Eminem's early albums which was released a year after his career took off in 1999. I personally enjoy this album because it features songs about Marshall's life which highlight his problems and how he deals with them.
//Curtain Call.// Released in 2005, an album that features all of Marshall's biggest hits. I enjoy listening to this album because it contains his best music from previous years so each track is faultless.

·   //Recovery.// A follow on album from 'Relapse.' Relapse was released after Marshall's 4 year absence bringing him back onto the scene, however Eminem raps 'let's be honest, that Relapse CD was ehh' suggesting he was unsure about his album. Eminem then later said he wasn't happy with Relapse during an interview with Jonathan Ross, which called for the release of 'Recovery.' I enjoy listening to Recovery because every song is quality but they differentiate massively.
  //48:13.// An album released by the biggest band to come from Leicester, this album from Kasabian was released after the announcement of their homecoming gig 'Summer Solstice' which was held in Leicester on 21st June 2014. This album encouraged me to get a ticket for Summer Solstice and it didn't disappoint, hearing some of the 48:13 songs live alongside a quality atmosphere made it one of the best days of my life.
  //2001.// An album released by DR.DRE, this album features many of DRE's more well known songs such as; Still D.R.E, The Next Episode & Forgot About Dre. I enjoy this album because it was released over a decade ago but the songs never get old.
   

5 Films:

  //The Wolf of Wall Street.// I enjoyed this film because it tells the story of a man who becomes 'filthy' rich, Jordan Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) develops an addiction for; Drugs, Alcohol, Women and most of all Money. The film has an exquisite story line and is based on a true story, however the story also proves that money can't buy you happiness. 

·  //Shawshank Redemption.// A film that portrays the story of Andy Dufresne who is locked away in Shawshank prison for the murder of his wife and her lover despite his claims of innocence. The film highlights a mans desperation for freedom coinciding with his divine amount of patience, Dufresne defies all odds when he escapes Shawshank prison because 'nobody escapes Shawshank.'

·  // 8 Mile.// One of my favorite films because it portrays the early life of Eminem and how he came from nothing to become the man he is today, 8 mile has an inspirational story line and was also released a couple of weeks after arguably Eminem's most famous song 'Lose Yourself.'   

·  //The Hobbit.// I enjoyed The Hobbit because it is set before The Lord of the Rings trilogy and will also become a trilogy upon the release of the third Hobbit film. The Hobbit is set in a fantasy world during medieval times following the journey of Bilbo Baggins who joins a group of travelling Dwarves who aim to take back their homeland.

·  //Harry Potter & the Philosophers Stone.// The beginning of arguably the biggest film series of all time. Harry Potter & The Philosophers Stone is the first of eight films which were released throughout my childhood, all of the films are equally as good and build up to one of the best finales from a series of films.

5 Actors

      -Leonardo DiCaprio.//My favorite actor, I enjoy DiCaprio's work from films such as; Titanic, The Great Gatsby & The Wolf of Wall Street.

·        -Jason Statham.// I enjoy Statham's work from films such as; The Bank Job, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels & The Expendables.

·        -Jonah Hill.//I enjoy Hill's work in films such as; Superbad, 21 Jump Street & The Wolf of Wall Street.

·        -Daniel Radcliffe.// I enjoy Radcliffe's work mainly from Harry Potter, however his work in The Woman in Black is also good.

·        -Daniel Craig.// I enjoy Craig's work from his role as James Bond in; Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace & Skyfall.

5 Sportsmen:

·        -Cristiano Ronaldo.// Ever since Cristiano's arrival at Manchester united in  2003 I have always enjoyed watching him play, he brings something most players are incapable of bringing to the game and is a leader within the Portugal national team.

·        -Riyad Mahrez.// Riyad joined Leicester City in January 2014 and helped Leicester gain promotion to the Premier League, Riyad has proven his worth to the team and has been instrumental in Leicester's start to their Premier League campaign.

·        -Mo Farah.// Mo Farah has represented Great Britain at the Olympic games and has proven his worth to the team when winning gold in the 5000m's & the 10,000m's at the 2012 games, Mo is an inspirational sportsman.

·        -David Beckham.// David Beckham is an iconic figure in sport for his football career and the work he now does working in America encouraging kids to play football. David also represented England when making their bid to host World Cup. My favorite moment from David's career is the free-kick he scored in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers against Greece.  

·        -Zlatan Ibrahimovic.// Zlatan is one of my favorite sportsmen because of his ability on the pitch and the way he deals with the media, Zlatan is very confident in his own ability and describes himself to be "like a fine wine because the older I get, the better I get."
