The Mist (2007,  R)
The Mist
Personally I thought this was excellent! Heard little about it before seeing it, but once I heard it is based on a Stephen King story I had to check it out. It certainly is typical Stephen King stuff, weird and wonderful. A mix of Cloverfield and the Fog. If you haven't seen it go check it out!
2
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991,  R)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Lost count how many times I have seen this, doesn't look outdate even today. A very good action film, one of Arnie's best!
3
Transformers (2007,  PG-13)
Transformers
Just what you want from a blockbuster film. Great action all the way, amazing SFX and a fair share of humour to. The effects are just breathtaking, not felt like that since I watched The Matrix! It has a very simple storyline and as a fan of the toys, animated movie it would have been nice to see more of the other Transformers characters. Overall though it's a brill blockbuster that will thoroughly entertain you!!
4
Spider-Man (2002,  PG-13)
Spider-Man
A great film that looks and sounds brilliant. Real WOW action scenes, wonderful SFX as he swings his way through Manhatten.
5
The Rock (1996,  R)
The Rock
Another brilliant action film, helped largely by the location of Alcatraz. Big budget blockbuster and it shows. Has some funny moments between Cage and Connery, great shoot outs and a great car chase. Lost count how many times I have seen it.
6
Disturbia (2007,  PG-13)
Disturbia
This is a very cool, very good thriller. It's a bit like a modern day remake of Rear Window but with plenty of comic moments as well that it is also a bit like The 'Burbs, The girl next door. Overall a very enjoyable thriller and the pace really picks up towards the end with a few good "red herrings" along the way!
7
Memento (2000,  R)
Memento
A great original film, love the way it unfolds!
8
The Butterfly Effect (2004,  R)
The Butterfly Effect
A great idea for a film. A bit dark and gritty at times but has a great storyline. Go watch it!
9
Sin City (2005,  R)
Sin City
Very slick stylish film, great visuals. Kind of Pulp fiction meets comic book.
10
XXX (2002,  PG-13)
XXX
Vin Diesel as Bond could have been the pitch for this movie. XXX is a great no holds barred action film with cool gadgets, SFX, fast cars and hot women with a pumping soundtrack. Even the credits are flashy in true Bond style, like the rest of the film but a little more Xtreme!
11
Sleepy Hollow (1999,  R)
Sleepy Hollow
I love this film! It's a perfect mix of horror, comedy and action. It has a good story, strong cast and great SFX. Watched it loads of times!
12
Halloween (2007,  R)
Halloween
I thought this was a very good film and a great remake. It's not entirely scene for scene like some and gives a lot more time to Michael as a young boy and reasons for him to turn evil. Rather than just a madman on the run from the asylum. Although some key scenes are kept and a few are changed slightly for the update, why change what worked so well in the original. Some people will just rate down remakes just for the sake of it, but seriously Halloween might have been scary if you saw it in your teens but today? This builds on what was a great horror classic and adds a few touches, more of a back story, a bit more violent and sexed up a little for today's audience. Whether you have seen the original or not you should check this out.
13
Scream (1996,  R)
Scream
One of the best horror films in the last 10 years, cool twist! Brought the genre to life again.
14

Probably the best of all the Star Wars films. Much darker as we see the beginning of Darth Vader!
55
Live Free or Die Hard (2007,  PG-13)
Live Free or Die Hard
A great, stand out action film that delivers all the good stuff from the other Die Hard films....and even a few ideas from some other top action films.
We get a cool relevant story for the present day about hackers getting in to control just about everything in the country, lots of great action scenes not overly reliant on CGI, great fights and some humour as well of course. John McClane is definitely one hard to kill guy, kicking bad guy ass just as well as ever. This is all out action you can't fail to like!!
56
Ocean's Thirteen (2007,  PG-13)
Ocean's Thirteen
A very good film that is closer to the first one than the sequel, which is a good thing! A very olaborate heist plan again as they look to take revenge on a new Casino boss in Las Vegas. Good fun but doesn't quite have the Razmatazz of the first!

Click
A great funny film with a feel good feel to it.

My favourite of the Die Hard films. 3 strong lead characters make the film more more action than you can ask for packed in!

88
Cloverfield (2008,  PG-13)
Cloverfield
WOW! This film is brilliant! What can I say believe the hype. This is such an engaging film you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen for a second. This is a mix of action, drama, disaster, and sci-fi all rolled into one and even with a touch of romance to. It was much better than I expected it to be given all the hype around it. The film is viewed through the playback of a camcorder after an event in New York, Kinda Blair Witch like but better. The first person feel of it really brings you into the action, panic and confusion as the events unfold. This is set to be a cult classic! If you haven't seen it yet put it to the top of your to watch/rental list! It feels like a roller-coaster ride you don't want to end!
89
Forrest Gump (1994,  PG-13)
Forrest Gump
A great feel good film, so much happens in it, something for everyone.
90
Executive Decision (1995,  R)
Executive Decision
A top quality action film with a strong performance from David Suchet. A terrorist group hijack a plane to get their leader released but do they have other plans as well? Plenty of action, stunts and aerial scenes in this tense action /thriller.
91
Rush Hour 2 (2001,  PG-13)
Rush Hour 2
Even more funny than the first. This time set in Hong Kong, they get caught up in a triad counterfeit money operation. Has some great fights to and Chris Tucker is hilarious.
92
Lucky Number Slevin (2006,  R)
Lucky Number Slevin
Very cool film with a good twist, if you like assassin films you should like this.
93
Identity (2003,  R)
Identity
A very strange horror with a real twist of an ending!!
94
Ein unbekannter rechnet ab (Ten Little Indians)(And Then There Were None) (1974,  PG)
Ein unbekannter rechnet ab (Ten Little Indians)(And Then There Were None)
One of the best Agatha Christie films to be made! Featuring an all star cast this is a timeless classic that has inspired many other films, Identity and House on Haunted hill spring to mind. If you like a good murder mystery or are a fan of Agatha Christie check this out, now known in the UK as And then there were none.
95
Freddy vs. Jason (2003,  R)
Freddy vs. Jason
A pretty cool hack'n'slash film. Almost tongue in cheek at times, could almost be a spoof of both series of films. The effects are cool and there is plenty blood for gore fans. Nice to see a recent film starring these two cult film characters....and as with most Jason films, there is a nude girl in the lake.
96
Gone in 60 Seconds (Gone in Sixty Seconds) (2000,  PG-13)
Gone in 60 Seconds (Gone in Sixty Seconds)
A cool film, well made with some great cars. Has a great car chase in it.
97
11:14 (2003,  R)
11:14
A great little film I stumbled upon. I like the way it shows the different stories of the characters and how their actions effect each other over the course of the night. A bit like Crash, Pulp Fiction, 2 days in the valley because of this but also with a strong dark sense of humour. Overall a strange but quality film.
98
The Bank Job (2008,  R)
The Bank Job
A very good English heist/crime thriller with a very good cast of mainly British actors on show. A role that seems to fit Jason Statham like a glove, playing a cockney East London gangster. He has the chance to pull one last big Bank Job but that is where all his troubles begin. This is a very good entertaining film, that is slick, stylish and a tad raunchy to. It stays very truthful to the 70's period in all manner of ways, which is good to see. This isn't just a good heist film though as the story involves all sorts of double crosses, making it a very good crime thriller to. Make sure you see it.
99
Dog Soldiers (2002,  R)
Dog Soldiers
One of the best horrors I have seen in recent years. A low budget UK film but it is bloody and tense as well. A group of soldiers are on a training mission in the Scottish Highlands when they encounter a pack of werewolves. If you love Horror films this is one of the best Werewolf films around.
100
My Little Eye (2002,  R)
My Little Eye
Very underrated horror. Slow to start but bare with it, very violent and will make you jump. Very good film and almost interactive on DVD.
101
Young Sherlock Holmes (1985,  PG-13)
Young Sherlock Holmes
A great all too little known film from '86. Set in Sherlock Holmes school days setting the story background as he becomes the worlds most famous detective. I remember seeing this at the cinema and is just the sort of film full of action and adventure everyone should love. Steven Spielberg was involved in the production and it shows. This film has a feel to it like the Mummy and Indiana Jones films. It also has some very good SFX for the time. If you have missed this film then you are missing out, track it down!
102
Mindhunters (2005,  R)
Mindhunters
This is a very good little know film. It's a mix of cat and mouse thriller with the FBI trying to track a killer at one of their training facilities. It starts as a thriller and soon becomes a horror as puzzles are put in the teams way similar to the traps in the Saw films. Along with an impressive cast and great setting this is worth hunting out.
103
Saw (2004,  R)
Saw
After all the hype I watched this a while ago. Not as gory as I was expecting but have to say it was a great film with an original twist on the serial killer theme!
104
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996,  R)
From Dusk Till Dawn
When I first saw this i had no idea what it was about and it made the film even better for it. You have to see this, so much happens. Great action and a huge twist in the plot!
