Good call. "We are Mods, we are Mods, we are, we are, we are Mods !"
Requiem for a Dream is without question the most terrifying film I've ever seen.

Space Cheeks, I too love Nightmare before Xmas. When it was shown in the cinema, it also has a short before it about Christopher Lee which never made it onto the video release. Does anyone know if this is on the DVD version?

Funny the John Carpenter version of The Thing is mention, but isn't it only on Sky One tonight. Particularly loved that scene where they all give blood samples and torch then to see who the carrier is.
There have been lots of films mentioned here which I love but would not be in my absolute favourites...example, thought Schindler's list was weak in places but Raiph Fiennes performance as the camp commendant was outstanding.
That said, one of the only films I have ever seen that I left knowing I had seen something really special was Pulp Fiction..

That`s a good question and I could name a few but the one that sticks in my mind more than any other is: CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIE TOWN. Best of all time acting, camerawork it`s just legendary!

I saw Finding Nemo last night, it was great! I strongly recommend it for a good laugh.
I imagine a lot of you booked tickets for The Matrix Revolutions. As I was saying earlier in this thread, I thought the Matrix was good but not THAT good, I haven't seen Reloaded, I'm not too troubled to either and I won't be joining 200-person queues to see the next one.
I don't think all the hype will be worth it.
Is there ANYONE who feels the same way?

Q2 thought that the Matrix was quite good, but thought the concept behind it is better then the film itself - the fight scenes were great though. Reloaded isn't as good as the first one, but the clips I've seen of the third look pretty impressive. Do u like Bruce Lee movies out of interest??
Kloot...Space balls and Planes, Trains..are two dead funny films...The Jerk is another one, and See No Evil, Hear No Evil!
What's the name of the film with Richard Pryor where he has to look after the spolit rich kid...Master Bates?
