1)death trap with christopher reeve? as a kid i thought it was pretty good
2)sex and zen, as a teenager was stunned that this was playing at mainstream cinema
3)reservoir dogs. top movie, better than pulp fiction in my books
4)sixth sense...now seems cheesy, was good at the time. also watched it at the drive in..woohoo.
5)killing zoe was pretty good. |

Why do so many people rate Fifth Element so highly? All my friends really like it too but I think its a pretty average sci-fi/action/comedy at best. Starship troopers is way funnier and much better written/directed. |

They aren't bad those movies two, entertaining for sure. I find it a little hard to take Bruce Willis seriously though.
Probably on top of my list:
James Cameron's 1997 'Titanic'
James Cameron's 1990 'Terminator 2'
Me, Myself & Irene
28 Days Later
The Shankshaw Redemption.
Ah also Matt, Ive been trying to contact you through your email regarding a price for an HDV Canon camera, I think they ended up in your junk inbox. If you could send me an email and Ill give you the details on what I'm after. Cheers! |

Ah I loved Blade Runner, it was uniquely different.
The set production team for one did an amazing job.
It was unfortunately underrated and didn't do that well financially. 
Thanks Matt.  |

I think you have to like hard sci-fi to really appreciate Bladerunner - its one of the few hollywood movies that qualify as real, thoughtful Sci-fi in my opinion. Rudger Hauer is just brilliant in it.
Some other quality sci fi films,
2001
Soilent Green
Silent Running
Slaughterhouse 5...
Well I guess there are more than I thought now that I think of it =)

I hope you're taking the piss.
Myself... hmmm I can't narrow it down that much. I love Star Wars, lots of gory horror stuff (anything George Romero or Dario Argento)... crappy Arnie action movies are always fun...
While I'm here I may have to maintain that I HATE the likes of Ben Stiller (although Meet the Parents/Fockers were both funny), Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler. This breed of American humour really needs to wake up and smell the coffee... |

What a load of young people who can't see back past their teenage years, before which history and thought did not happen.
If you are really into movies, try some of these (chosen somewhat randomly)
Jeux Interdit
La Strada
Metropolis
Notorious
A Man and a Woman
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Last Tango in Paris
8 1/2
Dr Strangelove
Casablanca
The Sting
Huit Femmes
Cher Inspecteur
The Third Man
If you like The Italian Job then watch the original, •••• the remake.
Actually, there are too many good movies (like songs). I named some here mainly to mention some of the better directors and actors in a variety of genres rather than to name my top five. If you know something about movie-making rather than about action flics then you will appreciate my choices and extensions of them, even if you prefer others. |
