I'm trying to expand my movie collection so have been watching alot of films that are old skool classics that have slipped through my net.
Currently have Bladerunner on while I type this, so far so good.
Anyone want to add some more, must watch before you die films? old skool and modern...
they dont have to be box office smashes or big budget or even credible, for e.g. I watched 'Over the Top (1987)' this morning and loved it :rock: :-[

robocop was on MGM last night - no 2 is on tonight 9pm
I don't think you get MGM on Freeview? :(
started to add some of the suggestions to the OP, keep them coming.
looking on IMDB is too easy egg, also they are too influenced by arsey 'proper' critics and trolls.
Also a decent list on here might generate some traffic
Some really good films already been mentioned, here are a few of my favourites not currently on the list in no particular order, see what you think
Hot Fuzz
The Running Man (classic Arny!!)
The Rock
and at risk of being accused of total geekery
Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan. Still comfortably the best ST film IMHO.
sure I'll think of more but that'll do for now
nice one, they all belong on the list, I was trying to remember the name of the Running Man arnie film earlier today.

This film is what happens when you try to compress a questionably written if quite enjoyable 1000 page novel into 2 hours. I quite liked the book, but they had to cut the story in so many places that the film makes absolutely no sense unless you've read it, and precious little even then.
As you say, so bad it's good.

Good ones, I've add some to the OP.
There are some that have been said but I haven't but it on the OP, its not because I disagree but just cos I've never seen or heard of it so waiting for more people to agree/disagre/debate etc
Also feel free to challenge any that are in the list if you disagree
what do people think of the National Treasure films? I watched both last week and thought they where really good.

theres a difference between good & must watch?
thats true maybe this thread should be the ' films worth a watch' thread
