Termiator 2, superman 3 or robocop when I was a nipper.

Evil dead 2, pulp fiction and life of brian are all contenders.

For a few dollar more has to top it though.

Shawshank Redemption without a doubt. Then pretty much any gangster film such as Get Carter (original) lock stock, Snatch, Pulp Fiction, True Romance. and the original and undoctored Star Wars trilogy.

Silent Running was way too sad for me when I watched it as an 8 year old but love it.
Ice Cold in Alex has to be my top B&W war film, no idea why but it is excellent.
Lord of the Rings trilogy, loved the books, really enjoy the films.
Blues Brothers, just top entertainment and music, was on permanent rotation with Rocky Horror at mates houses at weekends through my teens.
Oh, and Apocalypse Now, Italian Job first time round and probably some others, oh yea, Star Wars!.......
Might have to go away and think for a bit...

Rocketdog (without random capitalisation) - I can't believe anyone else has even heard of that (IBAVM). My girlfriend tracked down a copy on VHS for one of my birthdays, after I spent years trying to find it having seen it at Uni. It was rubbish when I was sober.

Personal favourite - Ghostbusters. Seen it 100+ times. It was the only video I had as a kid!

Best cinematic experience - 'Tell No-One' (when you physically feel your heart beat quicken / strengthen watching a scene, you know it's a winner). Do remember coming out of 'The Matrix' & 'Pulp Fiction' thinking WOW! too, though.

Fave home watch - 'L.A. Confidential' (never gets old) or 'The Lives of Others' (gripping)

If I'm pushed, I'd have to say the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

Despite the misguided attempts at adding a bit of humour, the huge liberties taken with the story and the evils of "Hollywood Blockbusterism" it still was clearly made with a great love and respect for what's my favourite book and for every cringeworthy moment there's several genuinely moving ones that bring a lump to my throat.
It was fantastic to see these characters that I've loved from childhood finally done justice on the big screen.

1 favourite is not possible!
Near Dark
Platoon
Miami Blues
Godfather pt 2
Full Metal Jacket
The Incredibles
Angel Heart (just for Lisa Bonet)
Catpeople (just for N...)
The Departed
Blue Velvet

Amazing that Highlander is someone's favourite - it's the only film I've ever walked out of!

Memento

I watched that the first time drunk, then again in the morning with a hangover, still confused the hell out of me, boy am I thick

[i]Access the special features section of the DVD. Wait for the 'Memento Mori' picture to move and the pic of Leonard with a pic in his mouth to take up most of the screen (best wait for the words 'Memento Mori' to be barely visible at the edge of the screen). Press enter/play. A screen will come up telling you you have found the hidden version of the film. Click on 'Play'.

And then watch the film in chronological order including the end credits rolling backwards at the beginning and the opening segment running forwards.[/i]

SHORT VERSION FOR REGION 1 When The Pictures start to appear PUSH the " NEXT " button to skip to the next section. Once you do that you will then come to the menu
. PUSH the " NEXT " button again and wait up to 10 seconds. The Movie Will Start, If it does not then you failed to do this properly, which is VERY RARE!
