Sunshine (2007, R)
Blown away by this, a complete masterpiece by Danny Boyle. A few oddities but it's near-perfect to me. |

Seven (Se7en) (1995, R)
Absolute class from David Fincher - my fav director. Very moody sets, excellent ending and fine performances from the actors. Superb ending. |

The Matrix (1999, R)
Totally class, very original. I love the concept of the movie and the action scenes are unbeatable. |
|
| 4 |
Children of Men (2006, R)
Visually stunning! The long, long scenes are amazing, especially the ending which is the best bit of film I've ever seen. |
|
| 5 |
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007, PG-13)
A perfect ending to a brilliant trilogy. Film editing to ravel any movie. Action shots to the best. Second only to Pirates of the Caribbean in the trilogy lists. |

Predator (1987, R)
Best badly there is. The storyline is ropey at best the acting is not that great either and there's the odd 1 or 2 sfx mishaps but I love this movie. |
|
| 7 |
Aliens (1986, R)
Better than the original IMHO, James Cameroon's background is special/visual affects makes this a fantastic looking movie. |
|
| 8 |
The Departed (2006, R)
Martin Scorsese's best movie, huge class of big-name actors all performing to the best. Excellent! |
|

The Ring (2002, PG-13)
Prefer this over the original Jap version (well I don't speak Japanese), excellent thriller. |
|
| 12 |
Black Hawk Down (2001, R)
Ridley Scitt's best movie. Visually beautiful. Love the it has been converted from real-life events to the movie screen by merging several characters into one. |
|
| 13 |
Zodiac (2007, R)
David Fincher again makes a brilliant movie. Great performances from the actors, excellent version of the overly produced movie/story. |
|
| 14 |

Yes this is pretty boring for the most part, but it's a build-up, and I feel needed, to a superb ending. |
|

David Fincher does it again with this. Another fine ending to a great movie. |
