Raise The Titanic - I have watched this film so many many times.

The book is better but I still love the movie.

I watched a film called Fubar last week. A bit odd, and not everyones cup of tea, but I liked it because it was different.

I watched Expendables on Monday night and loved it but couldn't help think of how much better it could have been if it didn't have to appeal to younger people too.

Society isn't as sterile as it once was, you take the kids to see toy story 3 and they see a tramp ****ting in a carrier bag around the back of the odeon.
Youngsters see a lot more now in life, films etc than I did.

I agree and don't. Yes people in general are a bit more unshockable but I couldn't see a film like Hellraiser making it to your local cinema nowadays.

Things like this paranormal activity are not a patch on that type of film.
You obvioulsy know what sort of thing you want to see.
I watched a fm called triangle last year that was good, a bit of a thriller but something a bit different to the norm.

Grease
From my childhood, First Blood
I too was blown away by Matrix
I really enjoyed I am Legend
Loads really too many to choose just one
Maybe a thread with the different genres would make it easier

I've seen the film Dune probably more times than any other - more times than any of the Aliens films which are my favorite series.
One film I really liked recently was In the Electric Mist. Its got Tommy Lee Jones and John Goodman and you'd think its complete poop by the cover but its actually a decent little film. Wife bought it thinking it was No Country for Old Men (
) and I really didn't fancy watching it at all. It was a good surprise.
Also watched Menento which many had said was Nolans best but I didn't think it was better than Inception (my best film of 2010)
I think a Film Review thread would be cool. Or have this thread renamed as such?

From Dusk Til Dawn was a good favourite of mine, I love my vamp films anyway (not this modern tripe mind you).
The Lost Boys, and good old Bram Stokers Dracula.
You can't beat it. A good horror thriller that still sends a chill down my spine.

Felon is another one of a similar genre.
Also Law Abiding Citizen.
I really enjoyed that, one of the best action/crime films I have seen for a while.
It's very similar with the moral undertone as shawshank redemption.

Star Wars for the wow factor it had on me back in 1977. Clearly not the best film ever made but.......
I also saw Pan's Labyrinth without really knowing what it was about and was blown away/freaked out by it!

Of the films that haven't been mentioned already, I think Forest Gump is right up there, because life is really like a box of chocolates and I've had a few orange fondent and coffee creme moments in my life!

Bladerunner for me.... I have 11 copies of it 
well one single disc Director's cut I bought ages ago and two of the final cut special editions (one in card box and one in tin box sealed)
The level of detail that went into production was just ridiculous! It's one of the few films I love to watch again and again.
Other films I love to watch as well;
Oceans trilogy
Star Wars Saga
The Fugitive
BULLITT
Die Hard Quadrilogy
James Bond - All of them lol

I remember watching a clip of terminator on film 84?, and nearly soiled myself. When the olds eventually hired it out from the video shop, I soiled myself.
