    I'm with you on Scarface but I've seen others say they don't rate it. It's brilliant.

    Agree about 80's films - watch those too. I'm more Goonies or Stand By Me or Eddie Murphy films <ok> I can't watch any old Stallone films anymore, even those I loved. Not aged well. Except First Blood or Rocky.

    Others are wrong then, mate. Absolute classic.

    Could've put Goonies on my list, great film.

    80/90s action stuff are my proper sweet spots. Especially when it's getting late, my brain ain't looking for some amazing story with compelling acting, just gimme a mad **** on a quest to **** up as many people as possible and I'm sorted. It's why I've enjoyed the John Wick movies, closest films of this modern era to those old action movies in my opinion.

    Yes they are both pretty long but if they ever turn up on tv they are staying on.

    Oh here's another one that's been turning up quite frequently - face off. Cracking film.

    Oh and a bit of running Man by arnie

    nah the later one is garbage though i fully admit i went in prejudiced as the original is is a true classic . If you haven't seen it you are missing out on a film made for peanuts but better than almost everything from the same genre since.
