10. The Warriors - A gang movie from the late 70's. This must be the film i've played to death. Ever since i was about 5 years old til my early teens, i played and played this film. It's just the type of film that every boy would worship in that 'Movie Star' era of the 90's. Back in school when you were 7 and the only films that mattered were Stallone/Schwarzengger/Van-Damme. A street gang who are on the run from -every- gang in the city, fights, chases and not much else. Pretty mindless, but one hell of a ride. A film that will just stay with me always.
9. Conan The Barbarian - Maybe the fact Schwarzenegger has little to no dialogue makes this great? Nah, great soundtrack, good fantasy story. I just get into this film so much, a tingle down my spine when Valeria saves him from beyond the grave in a blinding light. Giving Thulsa Doom what he deserves... a good ol' beheading.
8. The Crow - This film is just sad. It made me feel for the character, imagine that everything is taken away from you and then your given the chance to get revenge... You would just go and butcher them. Brandon Lee's last film, who knows what he would have gone on to do, he was known as Bruce Lee's son, but The Crow wasn't a martial arts film and he did so bloody good. A shame.
7. Ichi The Killer - An extreme film, maybe a little too graphic or disturbing for some... or most. It was just differant and wild from anything I'd seen before. A Masochist hell bent on finding the ultimate sadist. Kakihara in this movie just blew me away, he was crazy.
6. The Wild Bunch - What I love about this film is the realism, these guys really were a wild bunch. They shot to kill wether it was man, woman or child. They weren't clean, well built, handsome actors like in a lot of other westerns, *cough*Magnificent Seven*cough*. A classic western.
5. Predator - What's great about Predator is you just don't exactly know what it is until about half way through. Something moving thrugh the trees picking off these commando's one by one. Schwarzenegger's finest hour, what with dialogue like "Rahn! Go! Ged to zaa choppah!". One of the best 80's/90's action flicks easily.
4. Nightmare on Elm Street - Do Horror film's even exist anymore? Shouldn't they just rename the genre 'intense thriller' or 'another redneck cannibal film', society is just so ****ed up these days, horror films just dont have the impact they use to. Nightmare on Elm Street part 1, still creeps me out though. I mean, whats scarier than a paedophile burnt to crisp... getting you in your dreams with his claw. You can run from Michael Myers, Stay away from Cedar Lake and Jason won't bother you, but you have to sleep eventually. Great Stuff. The sequals were weak and took a more comedic turn, but the original is awesome.
3. Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies [Go to White Castle - if your American] - From start to finish, this film is just one joke to another. Most comedies have one or two 'wild' scenes that make you think 'what the hell', but every scene has you saying it with a laugh. From the crazy Burger Shack employee who wants to burn it down, to the crazy jamie kennedy appearing in the middle of nowhere and starting an argument about a bush. Great Stuff and John Cho is a legend and needs to be in more stuff, damn them for cancelling Off Centre!
2. Donnie Darko - Mind Blowing, the first time i watched this film, I was stumped. I spent more time thinking abou it afterwards than i spent actually watching it. For most of the night it was all I could think about, so thought provoking and so sad. The scene that gets me is when the young boy asks Gretchin 'Did you know him?' and she says 'No.' Thats just wrong, so sad. Brilliant film and a great performance by Jake Gyllenhaal.
1. The Goonies - The ultimate feel-good kid's movie ever. Everytime i see The Goonies i just wished i lived in some city where adventures like that were possible. I don't even think its aged, my younger brother asked me what it was a while ago and I told him to just go watch it. All i kept hearing for and hour an half was him laughing, he wathed all my comedy films and i haven't heard him laugh like that.
