Most of us have one filmthat has a special place in our hearts, whether it's because of the story or cherished memories we associate with it. Because of this, it's often intriguing to learn what flicks make it to other people's all-time favourites list.
Chart-topping singer Ed Sheeran, who has dipped his toes into the cinematic world, recently contributed his tune 'Drive' to the playlist of F1: The Movie, featuring Brad Pitt. His track record doesn't end there – he's lent his musical talents to films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Fault in Our Stars, not to mention his upcoming Christmas melody for Under the Tree in 2024. Beyond his musical contributions, Ed also made a cameo in 2016 film Bridget Jones' Baby.
With his extensive movie career, has this influenced Ed's personal choice for all-time favourite flick?

During his chat on the 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast with Kylie Kelce, Ed delved into how fatherhood has changed his life, as he talked about his daughters.
The conversation naturally veered towards cinema, with Kylie querying Ed favourite film choice, after finding out they might share a favourite film.
"Love Actually is on every single Christmas in our household, so it's gotta be one of my favourite - it has to be. I watch it once a year. There's no other film that I watch once a year," shared Ed, much to Kylie's delight
However, despite their shared love for the popular Christmas film, not everyone's on board with this pick, as Kylie disclosed that her husband, football icon Jason Kelce, along with his brother Travis, don't quite enjoy the film as much as her.
"My husband and brother-in-law, they had to watch it for the other podcast and they sh*t on it so hard. Jason specifically, he didn't see what we see in it, I think," she explained.
She noted that Jason had taken issue with the film's 'messier' storylines after having expected the typical feel-good family Christmas movie vibe.
In response, Ed commented: "That's the point. It's different shades of love and betrayal and hurt and heartache. Love isn't just happiness. Love is all of those things."
"That movie is, I just think, perfect," he added, before asking Kylie about her favourite storyline in the film.
Kylie found herself hesitating, prompting Ed to guess it might be Colin Firth's storyline. "How did you know? That's right!" she exclaimed.
"It's the most romantic one, it's great," Ed said, before recommending that Kylie should check out About Time, which he described as 'heartwarmingly heartbreaking'.
The interview swept admirers off their feet, with numerous fans quickly flocking to the comments section to reveal their opinions on their favourite films.
"I love how passionate Ed Sheeran is about his views! Definitely an interesting take on *Love Actually*," a fan remarked. Following that comment, someone else suggested that Ed should write a song inspired by the film.
While one fan confessed a preference for The Holiday despite liking Love Actually, another enthused: "About Time is SO good. And I'm obsessed with the fact that ed Sheeran loves romantic movies."
