The Time Machine 1960, G)
A wonderful adaptation of HG Wells story. Despite it being 1960, George Pal (who also brought War or the Worlds to the big screen) has created award winning special effects and has done a wonderful job of creating a masterful sci fi that really stands the test of time (no pun intended) |

The Karate Kid 1984, PG)
When i was a kid I wanted to BE the karate kid....maybe it was because he scored with Elizabeth Shue...... |
|

Planet of the Apes 1968, G)
An absolute sci-fi classic....ageless. |

Minority Report 2002, PG-13)
Great movie - in the vein of Blade Runner....and in my view, possibly better! |

| 5 |
The Fifth Element 1997, PG-13)
One of the most fun sci-fi's i have seen. Mila was hot! |

So I Married an Axe Murderer 1993, PG-13)
In my opinion, this is probably Mike Myers best. So many hilarious quotes to be had from this one. "We have a piper down!!" |

Highlander 1986, R)
Can you feel that.....the quickening? Nah it's the promise of 2 decades of cash in. A shame really because, like the Matrix, this movie is a classic on its own and should have been left that way. |

Forrest Gump 1994, PG-13)
A all-time classic and probably one of the best films ever made. |
|
| 16 |
Swordfish 2001, R)
Loved the concept and the visuals...the explosion at the start was mind-blowing on the big screen. Also really liked the scene where he is hacking to music.....a little unrealistic but really cool. |

The Warriors 1979, R)
I watched this one when i was a kid (my brother had it on VHS and i wasnt supposed to be watching it). It seemed so cool back then. Watched it again recently when the Playstation game came out and although pretty cheesy these days, I still loved it.... WARRIORS come out and playeyaaaaa |

Mel brooks best by far. Certainly one of my all time favorites. |

The Wedding Singer 1998, PG-13)
The 80's the way i'd love to remember it. When the underdog wins out, when Billy Idol helps save the day, when it was ok to dress like Michael and grow a mo like Magnum..... |
