    Mine still has to be Terminator 2 - so far ahead of its time and still a great watch.

    Can't beat the original though, eh? Such a great atmosphere, dark & gritty. Let's just forget about the horrors that were 3 & 4.

    Aliens is a real favourite of mine. One of those rare occasions when the sequel is better than the original (again, we have to forget 3 & 4!)

    Love alll Tarantino and Monty Python Films.  The previously mention Kill Bill (v1 & 2) probably tops the list.  Reservoir Dogs and the underrated Jackie Brown are also excellent.

    Recently saw Public Enemies, which was very good.  Taking 11 yr old daughter to the new Harry Potter release tomorrow.

    In no particular order :-

    The Usual Supects,

    Kill Bill 1 & 2

    The Fifth Element

    Blade Runner

    and possibly my all time favourite....

    SPIRITED AWAY  ... if you have not seen this film I suggest you find it and watch it now, don't let the fact that it is a Japanese animation put you off, it won the OSCAR for Best Animated Feature in 2003 for a very good reason.. it is magical & gripping

    The dollars trilogy is pure class, for its time it must have been a sensation(not that i was alive back then honest!) Btw i prefer 'for a few dollars more' out of the three, the music and the pocketwatch scenes are iconic.

    Kill bill Vol 1 was the best film i had seen for ages and i would throw in Lord of the rings part 1 which really surprised me in a positive way, it was so much better than i thought it would be and only ppl with zero imagination could fail to enjoy that movie.

    Die hard is my personal favourite, non stop action and that great accent from Alan Rickman!!

    Just to throw in another one 'The game' was a weird film kinda made zero sense but was compelling viewing all the same.

    Past:  Field of Dreams

    Present:  Deja Vu

    All-time Fave:  Bicentennial Man

    These are three that stand out for me, but there are countless others that run them close.  Think it depends what kind of mood you're in at the time!

    All time favourite : The Shawshank Redemption

    After that i'd go for Pulp Fiction (i do rate all tarantino films)

    Recent...ish thought tom cruise as a baddy in collateral was very good.

    Best poker movie is rounders obviously.

    Like alot of people apart from my favourite movie the top 10 can vary alot.
