    +1 Goodfellas.

    Not a big fan of the others mentioned. Except tomhoward’s suggestion, which, unfortunately I haven’t seen.

    I gather not of all of us have yet seen Mammia Mia 2 – Here We Go Again, but I imagine that’ll probably be a winner

    Goodfellas +1

    The film that made me realise Aliens/Star Wars etc weren’t that good really.

    Deliverance is a classic too. Hard to evaluate 70s films these days.

    Yes to the 1st, no the 2nd and 3rd, replace them with Chinatown.

    You can’t not like Southern Comfort. It’s just not possible. 🙂

    Southern Comfort – awesome – not seen it in ages. Walter Hill made a lot of great movies with some dross later on.

    Sorry, can’t stand The Matrix.

    I’ve tried, honest, but still don’t like it.

    Mad Max 2 – Road Warrior.

    Fury Road was almost an amazing counterpart if it wasn’t for the reliance on slightly too many visuals, and over-grading.

    I find the Departed entertaining but well down the trough for Scorsese proof that the Academy thought he might die soon.

    That will be a license to print money.

    Kermode actually broke down about how good it was. 5 Stars from him!

    I will be going to see it.

    I think Terminator is better than T2 as much because it wasn’t trying to live up to/ surpass the first.

    One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a great film – it was years after it was released before I saw it (no reason, just didn’t see it at the time of release) and was stunned.

    A couple of suggestions rather than critiquing the choices of others: Dr Strangelove and Some Like it Hot. Both comedies but at different ends of the humour spectrum.
