Amazing classic with Ridley creating a great heroine in Sigourney Weaver while also shattering the notion of space ship harmony. The alien was scary as hell when I first watched this!! Still brings back good memories.

Back to the original style in Alien rather than the fast paced Aliens, which I think benefits this one. As long as Sigourney Weaver is still Ripley the film was going to be good (ignoring resurrection). Including good acting by Postlethwaite and Dillon, with a revival for one of the greatest characters in sci-fi history in Bishop, this is a great film.

Willem Dafoe really makes this film and while its no masterpiece I didn't lose interest. Good film by Buscemi.

Ratings for Directors cut, which was better if my memory is any good (Haven't seen the other in a long time). The meaning this film has is impressive, the empire like tones throughout the film especially. Great futuristic sci-fi well worth watching.

This really is an amazing film, it didn't deserve to have mediocre sequels and the fourth film is just tragic! Rickman is probably one of the greatest bad guys I have seen truly underrated actor.

Tom Hanks is amazing in portraying a man with limited intelligence as he goes through life from a boy to a father. The film really is as good as everyone says, and would be one the first films I recommend to people. While his story is incredibly emotional the film is funny in places especially how Forest Gump seems to be involved in every memorable event of the films timeframe; from reporting the watergate scandal to giving Lennon the idea to Imagine.

Another Kubrick masterpiece. It's two separate films to me, showing the inhumanity of war from basic training to actual combat, with a great soundtrack.

The film is based in the near future where your genetic information determines your life and where inferior humans must struggle at the bottom of the social classes. This is an ironic twist on the idea of you deciding your fate over the class you were born into, where instead of most films showing naturally talented individuals struggling against those better off than them this film shows the strength of determination while in Jude Law's story showing the pressure on those naturally gifted (identifying with upper classes in real life) - redo

This film could of been alot better. For a start it was abit slow in places, but what really let it down is the soundtrack. Forest Whitaker did well though.

The start of an amazing epic! Amazing cast from then unknown Al Pacino to seasoned actor Marlon Brando. You can't go wrong with Robert Duvall and James Caan.

The introduction of De Niro as young Vito makes up for the loss of Caan from the first film, as this film carries on the godfather saga with Michael as the head of the family in the present while looking back at Vito's past. The past scenes are what makes the film especially some of the cut scenes with a young Clemeza.

Who should you listen to your government or your conscience? The theme of the film is based on the death penalty and how the main character (played as usual, brilliantly by Tom Hanks) deals with the idea that he may kill an innocent and benevolent man. The story does well to highlight the effects execution has on the executioners and the moral justification for killing men. Although the film does well to argue against the death penalty it is interesting when you see John Coffey an innocent man choose to punish someone else with death, making this film more than just a simple hollywood film.

I don't care what people say, this is a good film, forget the outdated fight scenes and the logic of having a French actor play a Highlander and a Scottish actor play an Egyptian. This is still a great film.

It's quite an experience to watch really. I'm just glad that it wasn't just me that didn't understand it! Great in parts but wouldn't recommend it to non-lynch fans you will hate it.

This film has got great class with an amazing cast of Banderas, Pitt, Cruise, Slater and a young Dunst.

Whitaker is coming into his prime!! After this film he should be considered up there with some of the modern greats. He portrays Ugandan dictator Idi Amin seen through the eyes of naive scottish doctor McAvoy. Although Idi Amin was a true historical character and he was known to like the Scottish, the actual events revolving around the fictional doctor are made up.

Great film both entertaining and enlightening. If your religious and insecure about your beliefs and are easily offended don't watch it! For the rest of you I think you will like it. It explores the different stories that were going around at the short period after Jesus' alleged death. It is interesting as while religious leaders and later on Roman scholars were happy to allows conflicting stories and accounts of Jesus to be deemed appropriate, there is a clear censoring of all accounts which try and depict Jesus as an ordinary Man with human temptations; instead of simply idolising him. This film is an attempt to awaken this knowledge and try and explore its relevance today. This is done well by Willem Dafoe and Harvey Keitel although it is strange fir
