With Hollywood abuzz for tonight's 92nd Academy Awards ceremony, we asked the burning question on everyone's lips... what's my MP's favourite film?
Whether it be a fantasy epic, rom-com or war movie, a wide - and somewhat surprising - selection has been chosen.
All but two of Kent's top politicians came back to us with answers.

Helen Grant
Sir Roger Gale
Labelled an "utterly heroic and tragic truly epic story" by Sir Roger, Scott of the Antarctic tells the tale of the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition and the attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole.
The Battle of River Plate movie depicts the early Second World War pursuit of the Graf Spee, a Nazi batteship.
Sir Roger notes how he loves the patriotism of the Allied forces defeating the enemy in the key 1939 sea battle.
Tracey Crouch
Damian Green
Gareth Johnson
Mr Johnson said: "My favourite all time film is Michael Caine’s Zulu.
"It managed to be both patriotic yet respectful to those who we were fighting against at the time."
Laura Trott
Standing the test of time incredibly well, the first instalment of Peter Jackson's universally-loved trilogy hit the screens almost 20 years ago.
As Orlando Bloom's first film, it launched the career of the Canterbury star.
Adam Holloway
For Mr Holloway, it was a difficult choice between Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy and Ridley Scott's classic.
Controversial mockumentary Bruno split opinions following its release and received lukewarm reviews.
Robin Williams comedy The Birdcage was also an honourable mention for the Gravesham MP.
Damian Collins
One of the most popular and influential films ever made, it's no surprise the first in Francis Ford Coppola's trilogy made the list.
Rosie Duffield
Craig Mackinlay
Commenting on why he chose the critically-acclaimed 1994 film, Mr Mackinlay said: "Injustice, hope and release.
"And the baddies get their comeuppance."
Natalie Elphicke
With action flick Top Gun featuring twice on this list, Tom Cruise's much-anticipated sequel should seemingly prove a hit with Kent MPs when its released this year.
Gordon Henderson
Mr Henderson says selecting a favourite between his contrasting picks are dependent on his mood.
War movie Zulu has now been selected twice - meaning it can share the much-sought-after accolade with Top Gun of being the most-loved film among Kent MPs.
Kelly Tolhurst
Tom Tugendhat
Upon choosing his all-time favourite Mr Tugendhat said: "But now I seem to watch more of The Secret Life of Pets and Frozen."
Helen Whately
Like her Tonbridge and Malling counterpart, Mrs Whately admits she's also most recently watched Frozen.
Picking between rom-com Pretty Woman and The English Patient was too tough for the Faversham MP, who says her favourite depends on her mood.
Rehman Chishti and Greg Clark
And there we go. That rounds off a hugely insightful story you never knew you wanted to read.
It's a shame we couldn't enlighten you with the whole list of Kent MPs but hopefully you may have learnt some useless, semi-political trivia.
