After an altogether positive response to my 12 Alternative Christmas Films round up post back in December I thought I’d share another set of alternative viewing recommendations, this time for your Easter weekend.

Of course, being the lovely guy that I am, and in the ‘true spirit’ of Christmas I thought I’d share that list with you in case you felt the urge to join me in the Season’s

Without further ado then, here is my 12 Days of (Alternative) Christmas Films:
