2
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) 1966,  R)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.)
Fantastic film. Full of action,drama, suspense and several fun moments. Plus an excellent musical score by by the great Ennio Morricone
3
Resident Evil - Apocalypse 2004,  R)
Resident Evil - Apocalypse
Really enjoyed this when I went to see it at the cinema with me m8ts. Some great scenes and one liners especially the scene when Alice runs down the side of a building. Though whats with the graveyard corpse coming to life????
4
Ghost Ship 2002,  R)
Ghost Ship
Got to be the bloodiest opening scene in ANY movie!!!
5
The Legend of 1900 (La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano) 1998,  R)
The Legend of 1900 (La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano)
Tim Roth's best performance and a moving film.
6
Final Destination 2000,  R)
Final Destination
Excellent movie. Deatsh are really well done and whats more these deatsh can occur (except 1 of them in my opinion).
7
Final Destination 2 2003,  R)
Final Destination 2
Another good solid movie about death finishing off those who escape him.
8
Final Destination 3 2006,  R)
Final Destination 3
Well made movie with some great deaths.
9
Friday the 13th 1980,  R)
Friday the 13th
The king of all slasher movies. Humble begnnings and some rather cheap effects (ie obvious hose 4 rain). Whilst Halloween (1978) give birth to the slasher genre this is the one which really kick started the craze for slashers in the 80s.
10
Friday the 13th, Part VI - Jason Lives 1986,  R)
Friday the 13th, Part VI - Jason Lives
This is my favourite one of all the sequels and is the film when Jason finally becomes all super zombie. Some touches of humour added which help it along and great music provided by Alice Cooper.
11
Friday the 13th Part 2 1981,  R)
Friday the 13th Part 2
Good ideas and a pretty good movie but isnt as good as the first(now thats a surprise!) However its pretty good with some good gore scenes.
12
Friday the 13th Part 3 1982,  R)
Friday the 13th Part 3
The film in which Jason gets his now iconic ice hockey mask. Some good deaths which are undone by poor gore effects. Decent film enough 3rd film but certainly not the best.
13
Friday the 13th - The Final Chapter 1984,  R)
Friday the 13th - The Final Chapter
One the best of the franchise. Enjoyable with some highly imaginable deaths which you would expect from a friday 13th. The gore effects are a notch up from the previous 2 installments but with Tom Savini doing them what else could you expect.
14
Hannibal 2001,  R)
Hannibal
Anthony Hopkins is back as everyones favourite doctor. A great sequel with some amazing cinematopgraphy and great use of locations in Florence.

18

The Last of the Mohicans
Excellent rendition of a classic story. fantastic visual shots and a quality soundtrack.
20
Bad Santa 2003,  R)
Bad Santa
Quality!!!! Billy Bob Thornton is immense as the thiefing Santa with his small sidekick. Great mickey take of what xmas has become. Miles better than any of that soapy rubbish which most xmas films contain. Great laughs and one best adult comedy films ever made.
21
Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1974,  PG)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Much, much, much better than Life of Brian
22
Evil Dead 2 1987,  R)
Evil Dead 2
Quality movie by Raimi. We move slightly away from the out and out horror movie of the first to a horror comedy. Some great scenes and laughs. Ash is shown as the main man here and is able to fully shine.
23
Army of Darkness 1993,  R)
Army of Darkness
"THIS IS MY.....

26
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors 1987,  R)

A major improvement on the awful 2nd movie. Couple great deaths and gives an early performance by Laurence Fishburne. Best of the sequels.

Tremors
Quality horror/comedy harking back to the days of the B-movie
29
Scream 1996,  R)
Scream
Brilliant. Re-birth of the slasher genre which had taken a downturn since the late 80s/ early 90s. Throwback to the early 80s and homage to other horror films such as Psycho(1960) and giving us the "rules" in how to survive a horror movie.
30
Scream 3 2000,  R)
Scream 3
Whilst this is a good film it is a disappointing ending to a trilogy which started off so well.
31
Scream 2 1997,  R)
Scream 2
Pretty good sequel. The body count is upped and less suspense and tension from the first. The rules are continued but the murderers are nowhere as good as ones from the first film.
32
Cinema Paradiso (Nuovo Cinema Paradiso) 1988,  R)
Cinema Paradiso (Nuovo Cinema Paradiso)
Great movie. Some great acting, a wonderful score by Morricone and some moving scenes. Only thing wrong is it starts to get a little bogged down in its own tenderness.
33
Uncle Buck 1989,  PG)
Uncle Buck
Brillient comedy. U must've seen this at some point whilst growing up. Always worth watching whatever your age.
34

Riddley Scott amkes yet another fantastic movie. The camera movement is superb, fight scenes excellent and the music score is also superb.

The Count of Monte Cristo
Quality adaptaion of Dumas book. Great scenes and acting truely tremendous.
42
Halloween 1978,  R)
Halloween
Its canny enough and some good scares. This did give birth to the slasher genre (even though it was Friday 13th,1980, which really kick-started it). However I think Carpenters Assault on Precinct 13(1976) and The Thing(1982) are by far his best work.
43
Gettysburg 1993,  PG)
Gettysburg
Look at all the beards fly! A great account of a historicly,bloody battle. Great performances from all the cast and extremley well shot and made. I fonly Hollywood could make war films as good as this and by the book.

56
American Psycho 2000,  R)
American Psycho
Brilliant adaptation of the book for screen. Bale is simply superb as Patrick Bateman. The supporting actors such as Leto,Mathis,Dafoe ect are also excellent. The dialogue is fast and free flowing.

Good take on the games though not brilliant. Has what has to be some of the best deaths from a sci-fi/horror movie.
61
Dirty Harry 1971,  R)
Dirty Harry
Fantastic film with Clint Eastwood in his other most iconic role (the other being the Man With No Name).Some great lines such as the .44 sppech and when Harry has to withdraw his gun and Scorpio says "My, thats a big one" Some great action sequences along with a strong performance from Andrew Robinson as the psychotic Scorpio.Kinda makes you wish there were more cops like Harry around.

67
For a Few Dollars More (Per Qualche Dollaro in Più) 1965,  R)
For a Few Dollars More (Per Qualche Dollaro in Più)
Quality.Better than "Fistful of Dollars" but not as good as "Good,Bad and the Ugly". The duel at the end is amazing and full of tension. Van cleef excels in playing a man out 4 vengence and therefore bein in unusal role of not being the bad guy.
68

Maverick
Great laughs all round. The cast is perfect with Garner being the best of the bunch. Great fun and laughs with a perfect score.

73
2001 Maniacs 2004,  R)
2001 Maniacs
Works much better if seen as more of a comedy film than a horror one. Robert Englund camps up his performance and goes OTT as the mayor of a little southern town and is the most enjoyable thing about the film along with some great one liners.The deaths are canny and better than you see in some horror films.
74
Cube 1997,  R)
Cube
Different from the usual kind of sci-fi/horror movies
75
Die Hard 1988,  R)
Die Hard
Friggin awsome. One of the best action films of all time. Alan Rickman is fantastic as Hans Gruber.
76
Kelly's Heroes 1970,  PG)
Kelly's Heroes
One the best war/comedy movies out there. Sutherland's Oddball is best character in the whole film. Great cast who i dont tire of, and actually care for unlike in some movies. Great lines such as- "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" and "Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves." and "The reason you can't hear me is because you're firing your mortars at your end, and they're dropping here, on our end!". Overall its a must see as its just bloody great fun!!!!!
77

86
Once Upon a Time in the West (C'era una volta il West) 1968,  PG-13)
Once Upon a Time in the West (C'era una volta il West)
Simply superb. Fonda is excellent as the vilainous Frank and Bronson is at his best as Harmanica.The rest of the cast give strong support to those two. The cinematography is beatuiful and the score by Morricone is unforgettable. The opening has to be one of the greatest in cinema history and the final stand-off between Frank and Harmonica is also excellent.
