How could I forget these? The Thing is definitely great as well as Predator. Stargate is fine Sci-Fi movie too, but I don't really like the Stargate TV series. A very nice TV sci-fi series is "The Lost Room". Simple idea and not that bad execution.

BTW, as for the action movies, we should not forget "Dirty Harry" film series ;)

Just thinking about films in a Scottish context...and wondering if flims by Bill Forsyth are widely known? The two that spring to mind are Gregory's Girl and Local Hero. Love them both, but not sure that they will have stood the test of time!

Or Sean Connery in Hunt for Red October? Or Mel Gibson (he IS Scottish, is he not Tim? ;) )...Braveheart was a little over-exaulted in Scotland...but seemed to attract a world-wide audience. Which brings me on to Highlander, Rob Roy, Trainspotting...
OK, enough for now! :D

Pavel..........dont forget the green mile, also a stephen king movie adaptation..........and in my opinion one of his best movies.
Andy...........I once saw a great Scottish movie about an old fella who swam the english channel, I cant remember the name but it was very heart warming, he was out of work and his missus worked in the bingo hall........it was very touching.

I have many favorite films.......big fish, bladerunner, blackhawk down is one of the best war movies i've seen, goodfellas, the life of brian, and also many from tim burton.....sweeney todd, the nightmare befor christmas..........far too many to mention.............

+1 for me as well. Bladerunner is quite a cult film, but maybe not as quite as much as The Blues Brothers.

Hmmm, I tend to like apocalyptic movies such as Deep Impact, The Postman, Red Dawn, The Day After Tomorrow, the Terminator series. Apart from that, it's romantic comedies like Ever After (Drew Barrymore), Just Like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon), French Kiss (Meg Ryan), and Joe vs. The Volcano (Tom Hanks.)

For movies I think i'm more towards the type with dialogue or a black comedy
Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worring and love the bomb (Stanley Kubrick)
Mystery Train (Jim Jarmusch) every Elvis fan should see this once.
Dead Man (Jim Jarmush) with Johnny Depp
Casino (Martin Scorsese) Sharone Stone's best acting ever.

I've seen many films from France, Germany & Hong Kong with subtitles that I've liked, but there titles excape me.

Not One Less (Zhang Yimou) beautifull movie from China. http://www.lovehkfilm.com/panasia/not_one_less.htm
