HIS vs HIM (gerund) and 3 setnences don't know which word?

Could you help me with this please?

HIS or HIM and HER has no gerund??

1 I don't remember him/his/her having such a nice body.

Which would you say, both maybe???

1 How are you holding up?/How have you been holding up?

2 How you can resist her is beyond/How can you resist her is beyond me.

3 He should win the match match tonight/He should be able to win the match tonight.

4 Aside from this show/apart from that show/other than that show, its the best show.

5 You need me more than you/more than I need you.

Thank you

1 I don't remember him/his/her having such a nice body. All OK. his/her (possessive) is technically correct, but him/her (objective) is very commonly used.

Hello CJ,

I had just one question

What's the difference between:

Apart from/Aside from/beside from this movie, there aren't many movies I enjoy as much as this one.

Can you use all 3 and could you in different examples? Are they synonymous?

Thank you

Apart from this movie, OK
Aside from this movie, Not wrong, but not idiomatic to my ear.
Beside from this movie Wrong.
Besides this movie, OK (No from)

Except for this movie, OK. Very idiomatic. Very common.

CJ
