The original is way better, I agree. Same with Alien, the sequel seems to be more popular but I think the first is way superior. I think it's because both T1 and Alien are more like horror films whereas their sequels are much more action oriented. Disappointed in you Kemps. It is a film you'll either love or hate, I will say that.
Clockwork Orange City of God Into The Wild The Long Good Friday Pulp Fuction Close the thread now. I win. Swap Clockwork Orange ( yes Kemps it is a pile of dogger) for Trainspotting. Best British film of its generation. FACT.
It's a film we're supposed to like. It's a film critics pretend to like. It's time we stood up and said NO! It isn't even up there with Dirty Dancing 2.
Hmmmm...suspect this will be hard to pick 5.... I love good comedies, and some classics when growing up Basically nothing too serious, I want to chill and laugh when watching films.... Beverley Hills Cop Coming to America Ted Inbetweeners Movies Stand By Me Lost Boys Predator Rocky 4 Also like the Final Destination films..
Blade Runner National Lampoons Animal House Airplane The Seven Samurai Alien Then a load of others, all a close call. Maybe suggest breaking down by major category as I think many are struggling to narrow to five overall? I know I was.
Not wishing to detract from the original point of the thread but as a side line( it doesn't really deserve a thread of its own) what's your 'guilty pleasure' film. One so cheesy and embarrassing that under normal circumstances you would never admit to liking it due to the fully justified mullering you would get. This is your chance to show how tasteless you can be and I'll start the ball rolling. Top Gun. Saw it twice at ABC and still love it. There, I said it. It wasn't so hard. I have a warm and fuzzy feeling inside now. I think the word is cathartic.
Love Is All You Need. Pierce Brosnan and some Swedish actress knock aroundin Italy. Total schlock, great for a sick day.
**** no, that's Point Break in name only. Keanu Reeves all the ****ing way. Proper pile of ****e that remake. Though I suppose that would make it a bigger guilty pleasure.
Filmwise, I can't think of one. TV wise, in the early 90s, deffo Cell Block H. First time I saw it, I honestly was nearly physically sick - but it drew me in. Bookwise, Harry Turtledove's WorldWar Series
National Lampoon's European Vacation Event Horizon Snowpiercer The Raid Evil Dead III Guilty pleasure: The Iron Giant Special mention: Alien, Terminator, Empire Strikes Back, Gremlins
The Muppets Christmas Carol with Michael Caine. Christmas aint Christmas without it, I think someone mentioned it in their top 5 list earlier too.
