My Favorite Movies

The predator is the greatest alien created, Stan Winston is a genius. The best 80's, adrenaline, testosterone, muscle filled action man flick ever, offical.
THE BEST :)

Another Stan Winston creation with Cameron direction, genius.
State of the badass art, this film rocks on every level, the only downer for me is the fact that you never really saw hords of aliens, some would say its more powerful that way but I think it would have been more tense and savage. Its still the perfect film with the perfect cast, I dont even really need to go on about it, awesome sequel.

Dark, gothic, amazing soundtrack and the best comic book adaptation made. The scenes of the crow gliding through the mist and darkness accompanied by Nine Inch Nails 'Dead Souls' is inspired ;)
Also, Eric putting on the sad clown mask make up accompanied by the Cure's 'Burn' is another gorgeously realised and soul soaring scene.

I LOVE Tim Burton's work, Im his greatest fan, this movie is fantastic, so imaginative and dark, a truely gothic fairytale dream come to life. There is nothing much more to say here, its a near perfect film in every aspect and every field.

Beetlejuice is spooktacular, original and again beautifully dark and twisted, I absolutely love the spooky, kooky design of everything, its sheer Burton gold in every sense, I love it. The soundtrack is awesome and the effects are cheesey yet lovely haha and as for Keaton....he's perfect as the wicked, disgusting raspy voiced ghoul.
This film never looses its charm, I just wish Burton had made another.

Brutal and truely rockhard, the action in this is sooo violent but its just sooo good, the best action sci-fi flick made. Verhoeven is the over the top gore action master with plenty of dark humour.
Still looks gorgeous today, epic :)

The best Star Wars film made, dark, brooding, the now famous plot twist and revelation which is pretty much folklore now haha its all near perfect with Empire, the outstanding Hoth battle sequence at the start to the breathtaking Bespin ending and all with the greatest character in villain history included :) Boba Fett :)
The Yoda middle always kinda bored me I admit, slowed it down but I guess its needed hehe
Shame Kershner couldnt do the same with Robocop 2.

I grew up with this classic, it was huge on release and I loved it (it scared me too haha) the effects still hold up today and make modern movies look poor..stil.
Again another near perfect classic 80's flick.

Probably the greatest sci-fi distopian lookin flick made. Really grim yet sooo ice cool. Hauer rules in this, so uneasy so lethal and unpredictable, the score is spooky and touching and the action is cold and realistic. So many details and so many different stories haunt this film from creation to final cuts which makes it so historic in cinematic history. Love those futuristic police Spinners.

Blade Runner: International Cut, 82

Personally I liked the narration by Deckard during the film, it gives it a more classic black n white noir detective feel, which its suppose to be like really. The added seconds of gore n blood do add that extra punch too, good version and better without the 'Legend like' unicorn dream sequence in my opinion (which appeared after this cut in the Director's cut in 92, but that was not Scott's actual version, others did it I believe)

The recent final cut is of course the best and most picture perfect version. The few touch up's (unlike Star Wars) actually do improve the film and finish it.

Very moving and sensitive, I like old black and white monster flicks and Mr Wood was great at it..in a sense haha. This is still dark with Burton's style but still very strong and gets the story across beautifully, by the end of the film you will feel very close to all members involved and you wont want the story to end.

A good cast of the usual Burton suspects really helps as they are all pretty kooky themselves hehe its a film of character actors and outcasts which suits Burton to a tee. The 'classic' feel of a proper black and white film isn't really there I must admit, Burton isn't a great director in that sense, this film isn't an epic for sure, its more of a TV movie really. Plenty of little Burton touches throughout add charm and actually do assist in the films content and there's a lovely undercurrent of humour during the film which adds a very pleasant appeal to the whole thing.

Another classic comic book adaptation and more Burton darkness, I just can't get enough lol plus Michelle as Catwomon was SOOOOO good hehe

Even better than the first if thats possible :)

GOTH HEAVEN :)

Charles Addams..another genius. The whole thing is so up my street, I love the house more than anything. The look and design is spot on and really atmospheric, great performances all round and charming effects that still look nice today, wanted to see more of the house interior though. Lets have a Munsters flick like this.

Best vampire flick ever hehe very 80's and very sexy, Grace Jones is gorgeous and the look of it is so seedy and dark, really hits the mark and makes the atmosphere perfect, Dusk Till Dawn idea here have you noticed?
If yr an 80's fan or if you remember the 80's haha this will bring back good memories of a time when films were seedy and cool :)
The song when Grace strips is excellent, wonder who did it.

Best Carpenter flick by miles haha so cool, love Russell in it and love the look..LOVE IT. This film has everything you could want, its totally awesome in everyway and hits all the targets, faultless, inspired.
'have you payed your dues Jack?'....'yes sir the cheque is in the mail'
'everybody relax..Im here'

Not as dark as the second (it should of been hehe) for me but still a classic. Jack as the Joker was inspired and for me Keaton is the best Batman, silent, menacing, crazy look in his eyes and real, not some muscle bound pretty boy.
This is awesome in everyway, it started the 'dark' comicbook craze and is still what most films are compared to. Slightly dated in effects these days but still nicer than cgi. With an amazing soundtrack, genius cast and devilish batmobile this Batman kicks all arse without doubt :)

This film is really beautiful, a truely dark fairytale. Tim Curry is awesome as Darkness and the Tangerine Dream score is great. Saw this when I was very young and liked it then, the cross with twisted Muppets and dark sword and sorcery is really spellbinding and visualised so well despite 100% sets, Ridley Scott at his best before he started making more serious affairs. Cruise is abit wet though.

Errr, what can I say? you all know this, its the greatest movie ever made. Almost perfect, combined with the rest of the series its unbeatable. The first Star Wars film and the film that made cinematic history, it changed history and created film going for a new generation of viewers and directors, this film is a landmark in human history, its that big.
Even though its cheesey, hammy and very predictable its still probably the greatest film ever made, mainly due to its design and effects which STILL look good and better than modern films.

This film was everybodies childhood for people now in their 20's onwards, I find it so hard to believe that kids nowadays probably dont play Star Wars.

Another classic from my childhood. Bowie is cool here (although when I was a kid I thought he was a female hahaha) the Labyrinth is really twisted and cool looking. Great imagination and creature design all round with some awesome classic effects with the good old ways of matte painting and puppetry. The Magic Dance is a great song as well.

Not as good as the original but the urban location, new look predator with new weaponary and amazing hold your breath action with an excellent ending leaves you wanting more hunting action.

Probably my fav as a kid because of the endor battle and jabba. There's alot here to like, the whole Jabba line with Rancor and Sarlac battles are just cinematic gold, they are brilliant fun and strip any modern film easily. After that you have the brilliant Endor forest battle and a gorgeous space battle with the Falcon, a host of rebel fighters and another trench style finish. Its all enough to blow your mind as it never lets up for a second and is quite quite perfect in execution.
What really hits home is the lack of CGI, can you image a film like this being made today without cgi?????? never happen LOL
And yet Jedi looks stunning, the aliens are obviously puppets but they still look great (thanks to Oz and co) they all have depth and character that you can believe, plus the model and matte painting work here too! its utter genius and deserves so much praise, cgi? whats that haha

Best of the newbie flicks, more adult, darker and of course it completes the story arch, but best of all the action is great, loved the 'plan 66' sequence and most of the dark brooding fights and plotline :) finally a Star Wars film that compares to Empire in sorts.
This is the best of the new trilogy for sure, its still nowhere near as good as the original three but its close. The acting and effects have all been tweaked to their best for this last film, the effects obviously being better hehe and the final part of the film does not let you down as we find out how it all fits into the Star Wars jigsaw, its not perfect but its still damn good.

Great look, gorgeous alien design, the movie grows on you. Despite its problems this flick has grown to become just as popular as the first two films, the brown and orange hues in the set design and feel of the film really appeal to me and make the film stand out on its own. Another great cast roster just like the first two and a really hard hitting emotional plot make this a very unique animal in all the right ways :)

Getting better here, the intro of Jango Fett and the stormtroopers are cool moments and the Jedi battle on Genonsis at the end is topps. The action is as Star Wars normally is and thats very good, all the lights and sounds you would expect and it still works well. CGI is still 100% from Lucas and his boys, depsite some ropey looking alien designs they all look and react very realistically but its the space ship dogfights and flybys that still look the best.

Better than Phantom but the acting is still bad, and whats going on with Obi Wan's mullet??

Looks great, love Mos Eisley, easily recognised as the Star Wars universe and always looks good. There's also an excellent pod race sequence which is the highlight of the film really, apart from that its pretty average but for the exciting Sith lord Darth Maul, he really saves the flick when it could of been a complete throw away, even though it is too childish in many places, Maul's prescense is golden and the fact he dies in such a meaningless way really sums up the disappointment with this film.
Not as bad as they say, better than most sci-fi flicks even so but with lame characters like Jar Jar and his alien species and other poor designs like the battle droid army and various spacecraft I wonder how this survived, very off and on.
It still does well simply due to it being Star Wars.

Arnie classic, very gritty, hard and seedy looking. Saw this when I was about 12 and fudging loved it. The endoskeleton is yet again another Stan Winston creation of genius and the police station shoot up, hell yeah baby!!. Better than 2 for sure, its darker, brutal and more harsh with non stop tense chasing. The main thing is its an adult film, the way its meant to be and the way it was originally intended, this is why T2 and T3 are so poor.

Hmmm great soundtrack, truely great and looks amazing, shame its kinda a rerun of the original (which cant be bettered) but its the last of The Crow flicks that was good. Style and design is faultless, costume and action set pieces are stunning, its just a shame it wasn't accepted better.

The look of this movie is soooo cool and dark I love it for that reason alone, pure Burton visual dynamite. I just think Depp was wrong for the main role, it needed someone more eccentric and kooky like Burton himself haha, but a great homage to Hammer and beautifully rendered.

The best Martin and Candy comedy. So many classic laughs and its realistic to haha
Its a classic in every sense.

Bet not many have seen this, Wilder genius here, really spooky 'Addams' style fun with good laughs, a kinda 'Hammer Horror' old fashioned style horror flick that isn't scary atall lol I just love the look of these films, the big mansions, sweeping staircases, flowing curtains, cobwebs etc..

Charming comedy with a lovely cast that could almost be a Brooks spoof.

Oh my god the movie of my life when I was about 11 hehe used to build dens in the garden and attempt to build booby traps as well hahaha this film influenced me bigtime. Had a huge crush on Kerri Green too, so cute :)
'you turd!!'

The best of the trilogy by far, Neilsen is so good at what he does best here.Ssimpson is also very good as Nordberg as is George Kennedy as the chief. The original series is also brilliant but this captures all the best gags and makes them look and feel better with alittle more budget. Much better than Airplane.

Hell yeah, what a cast, my dream team almost, Paxton, Henriksen, Goldstein, Wright, perfect. I dont like the desert feel for the vamps but this is still an awesome bloodsucker. The classic bar scene is violent and sadistic yet you wanna join them. Wright is cute and Henriksen rules as always, Bishop as a vampire lol

'I taught Severance everything he knows, but not everything I know'

The original classic, this is beautiful stuff, Lugosi is awesome and the look is terrific. Its not really sexy as some Dracs are but the acting is just great. There's just something about the old black and white horror flicks.

This is a tricky one. The whole vampire life story is amazing, charting history through the eyes of a vampire. The look is extremely well done and its got a classic feel about it. Seeing vampires in different countries and periods is also cool. There maybe too many big names in it for my liking, alittle too 'Hollywood', should of had some unknows really. Gorgeous to watch though and with a haunting soundtrack its quite beautiful, a work of art in places.

This has to be the best Wilder and Pryor combo. It loses it at the end but the start and middle sections are gold. Wilder trying not to snap in prison is dynamite lol Poitier directs perfectly, its pretty much near perfect.

This is an amazing action man style look at a serious story. It rocks, almost like young guns in the 30's USA but with alot of heart and top rate acting. Costner loves himself too much as usual but Connery, De Niro and Garcia are cool in their roles, they suit them just right, although Connery is slightly hammy, but lets not forget Billy Drago in his slick cream suit. Its quite emotional here and there and some scenes are cinematic classics eg..the station steps gunfight sequence, the bridge ambush, Drago being chucked off the roof, the bar bomb at the start and the ending really makes you wanna cheer for the good guys :)

Almost betters the original, some genius here, this really is the best comedy (with the first) of the 90's, truely hilarious in places. Shame the third was not as good. All cast members reprise their roles and reprise them well :)

Absolute classic, no other words can say more, the music, performers, comedy, car chases, its almost historical because of the performers alone. The fact that Aykroyd and Belushi were able to perform as an actual band after this shows how good they were...and the movie.

Probably the last modern Brooks spoof before he lost his touch. There is another excellent cast here, the usual brooks gang, the highlight has to be Moranis as Dark Helmet, but lets not forget Brooks and his great little tash LOL he looks naked without it as he normally has one. The effects are actually pretty good as well, mainly Pizza the Hut and spaceball 1. To be honest this is a flick that I would love to see a sequel for.

Monster mash springs to mind with this sequel hehe its good, plain and simple. With a better story line and more action this Hellboy is a better animal than the first. The film looks really good, its dark, gloomy and goth and at the same time bright, full of imagination and kinda mythical. Everyone looks great..'old Red', Abe, Liz and newcomer/leader of the team the professor krauss. The effects and makeup are really nice on all characters and some monsters yet lacking on others.
Some creatures do look alittle plastic or rubbery (in the troll market) and kinda basic really. Yet the bean monster and tooth fairies look smooth and sexy haha
Other ideas are clearly from Del Toro, maybe too much so as it reminds you of 'Pans Labyrinth' abit. Another little gripe is the troll market which to be honest is a slight take on the Star Wars cantina/Mos Eisley scenes and Diagon alley from Harry Potter, and it doesnt look as good as either mentioned.
Its a cracking film overall which looks so much nicer than the first and is much more easy to take after the weird Rasputin based baddie plot last time, this seems much more fluid. I just wish they would make it abit darker for the adult audience, this film yearns for a slightly edgey feel, the humor is great but its still alittle childish. A touch of blood and gore, just a hint of nastyness or grim goth violence haha,
nothing extreme like 'Robocop' but along the lines of 'Blade' maybe, but not as serious as 'Blade'. Maybe for Hellboy 3, lets just hope we dont have a Hellboy and his kids plotline or we will be in for a family based plot *groan*

Ahhh the best Muppet flick, truely cozy, warming, fun, loving, funny and great songs. The whole idea is such a winner, I love Gonzo and Rizzo telling the story, they really are funny. What better way to spend a cold snowy night in.

Not as good as the first and a slight rerun but still very enjoyable. The cast work really well together and the effects are still nice. It was a huge hit when it came out due to the first and it does deliver. The update of Slimer and Ecto 1 are nice along with the story line but the main baddie doesn't quite hit the mark. Still fun and the Bobby Brown rap as the tune for the film is pretty cool yet dated.

Hmmmm double edged sword hehe I liked this for its imagery and ideas, my love for vampire and werewolf films sways me to the dark side and I cant help but love the blood dripping, hairy moon walking action :)

Problem is although there are some nice lycan moments of battle action and great misty dark looks there are just so many silly moments and things that just don't add up. For starters I have these questions....

1. Why does Viktor have blues eyes yet no others vampires do?
2. Why do the vampires need protection from the lycans? protection from what?
3. Why do they need lycan slaves?
4. Why are most lycans long haired men? no females?
5. When Viktors daughter was put to death why didn't Lucian just turn to lycan form and free her? (as he did when he attacks Viktor after her death, he breaks his chains without a problem)
6. How come Raze (big black guy) can just rip dungeon doors off at the final battle sequence? why didn't he just do that at first to escape?
7. What happened to the human nobility?
8. Why were there humans chained to the back of the human nobility's wagon? (where we meet Raze)

There are just so many questions that spoil the film, I also hated the endless stream of armour clad vampires that just live to die from lycan attacks, much like stormtroopers hehe
The film is good and does complete the trilogy nicely but its very holey plot wise. The effects are nice, lots of cgi of course but its reasonable, some slightly risky lycan cgi in places but the vampire make up and costume is excellent, Nighy blues eyes really pierce the darkness.
I just wish to see more of the vampire background in the underworld universe, vamps around the globe, how the species started originally, their higheracy or nobility outside Viktor etc..
I could watch a fourth about the vampire origins :)

What a surprise this was, looked naff when I saw the trailer all those moons ago but it turned out to be funny and enjoyable. Cant quite put my finger on it, there's just something so likeable here, Gibson and Downey work well together, it all looks so fun and relaxing doing there job, makes you wanna join up n bum around in the air force to haha

Farley's best and Spades best too, great loud and brash US comedy, really hits the spot and shows how good Farley was. The scene where he's trying to sell brake pads to a customer in his office and continues to trash a model car and light it on fire is just pant wettingly funny.

Ohh this is sooo good, before Stiller hit the big time, this is such a good comedy, great cast, great ideas, alittle camp but that just adds to the look and feel. Ever heard of a comic book hero called 'The Tick'?? well this is the closest thing to the live action movie. If you know what Im talking about you'll know what to expect, if you don't then you might not like this.

Im not a 'trekkie' but this is the best Trek flick. Its got a good solid plot and plenty of decent action, the snow planet with its prison has good scenes, the space battles are nice, the assassination is pretty cool and the final rescue is well done.

Cast wise the crew are showing their age definatley haha but get away with it. Plummer is great as the Shakespearian spouting Klingon, love his death sequence, Cattrall is good and there's alittle Cristian Slater cameo. It all looks really good which is a surprise for the usual tacky Trek style, problem is, there's so much Star Wars ripping its unreal lol

Excellent movie of the brilliant series. Its really sharp and very very verbal unlike the TV counterpart. It looks good, the animation has computer help here n there which really adds to the effects. The story is actually not too bad but its not great, but its so funny and has tonnes of totally un-pc jokes, comments and crude gags you just cant not like it lol it surpasses The Simpsons by miles as its for true adults. As usual Cartman is the star.

If you dont like baseball dont worry, this is still great fun. Quite cheeky and wisecracking, it has aged ok, I dont think many people have seen it here in the UK actually, cos of its sport content. There's a trilogy out there but dont bother this is the best, give it a try.
'want me to take him outside..beat the shit outta him?'

This story was perfect for Muppet conversion. The whole thing is so right, Curry is great as usual, the songs are good and the look is just right for the Muppet world, a close one next to Christmas carol for effects and looks.

I watched this so much when I was in high school, its lost alittle of its bite in time but its still ooky and spooky.the cast is perfect, Hanks in his golden comedy era, and I love the way they snoop around all the time. Thing is when yr a kid, we all did this right? mess around in the garden and creep over next doors fence hee hee

OK, if you see the cinema version this is kinda lame but if you get the US uncut DVD its much better. Overall its still a shame they went with the kiddie less violence and blood approach, I love these two franchises and they HAVE to be for adults only,no question. It still looks good, the queen fight is great, it just needed alittle more care and attention with the plot. Rumours of Arnie making a cameo if he lost the governors election were true and that would have really raised the bar, a Dutch cameo, damn shame there.

I liked this, alot didn't but I thought it was dark, funny and showed Carrey in a different comedic light. He really is disturbing lol love the trouble he causes Broderick, makes u cringe and glad its not you. Underrated, this much better than Carrey's over the top performances and you can relate to it which makes it work so much better.

This is a grower, watch it afew times. Makes you wonder about your own old school friends and what a reunion would be like. Some of the people in this are really great, not heard of but make their mark.the surprises of seeing old chums and the jealously, spite, hatred, revenge etc..that erupts when together again. Schwimmer is great as the slimy wannabe loved by everybody creep, then there's the nerds, jocks, weirdo's, annoying newly weds, maniacs etc..its really very amusing.

Surprisingly good for basically a kiddie flick. Black is what keeps this alive, anyone else and it would have been awful, as the kids in the flick are. Its black all the way here, he's brilliant but thats it really.

Creators of South Park here, and they rock, Parker is bloody hilarious, reminds me of a young Rik Mayall. The whole thing is utterly stupid but very funny and rude. Toilet humour, sexist, vulgar, its topps, I dont know why they haven't done anymore good comedies (live action I mean, not animated)

Easily the best Herbie flick and one of the best live action Disney films. Great effects, nice acting, Disney pro Dean Jones again with brilliant back up from another Disney pro Tomlinson and a cute story. I loved this as a kid and still do, the final long race is also quite exciting and good fun. The US DVD is loaded with extras.

Now this is a real classic, true acting being performed here, Newton is made for this role as he showed in numerous other pirate flicks and a sequel to this. Its extremely good and looks realistic for its time with glorious technicolour and some lovely matt painting work (if alittle fantasised). The whole film has that golden era of cinema look, crisp colours, dashing gents with well spoken accents and a great rugged historical shine that most modern modern flicks miss. I was brought up on classics like this, kids nowadays will laugh probably, shame, they know not of the real movies hehe

Wasn't well recieved I believe but again this was in the video machine (the large metal box with a wire connected remote lol) so much. Its imaginative and fun and easy to loose yourself in the fantasy world. It still looks great today, I still love the end sequence where the knights take on the nasty Germans, the old spookish house where Egglatine lives with Cosmic Creepers, is she a witch? and of course the animated footie match.

Another great pirate themed flick, again from Disney. I love the innocent effects n look compared to today, it's lovely, spookyish, charming and Ustinov is pretty funny too. The highlight is the athletics event and I loved the big spooky looking Inn which the old ladies ran and where Blackbeard haunted.
