I'll start with...

Weird Science
Ferris Bueller
Beat Street

Dog Soldiers
Lake Placid

[birdbrain]

The Usual Suspects
Memento
Leon
Ronin
Con Air (put the bunny back in the box)
Underworld
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Elizabeth

Ferris Bueller is, in my opinion, the seminal John Hughes Teen Com edy.

It has a smarter script and better performances than virtually any com edy I can think of since.

Life of Brian
The Italian Job
The Great Escape
Terminator 1 & 2
Sleepless in Seattle

[alexkp]

Most of the Star Trek Movies. I love 'em.


I especially like StarTrek: The Motion Picture (ie the first one) as the breadth and scope of the story is quite epic and it is harder sci-fi than the others.

I like that one and usually I can't stand Star Trek. It's the special effects I like - a bit like 2001 - you can just stick it on and look at it, rather than watch it.

Back to the Future is without a doubt my favourite movie of all time, i'm not saying it's the best, just my favourite for pure entertainment! I love 2 and even 3 as well!

Love most of the Pixar movies too, especially Finding Nemo.

Also a film which was totally panned by critics upon release: Equilibrium! Check it out, stars Christian Bale (who's the new batman) as a law enforcer in a future where all emotion is illegal! It's got some fantastic fight scenes and definitly isn't the matrix rip-off several critics describe it as.

Not ashamed to say I like the Goonies as well, such a classic!

All in all my top 5 movies at the moment are:

1- Back to the Future
2- Alien
3- The Blues brothers
4- Kill Bill Vol 1
5- Lord of the rings (all three)

I LOVE Dog Soldiers. Sean Pertwee is a criminally under-used actor. Have you seen him in Blue Juice (which also features a young Catherine Zeta-Jones)?
