10 titles
- DirectorAkira KurosawaStarsToshirô MifuneTakashi ShimuraKeiko TsushimaFarmers from a village exploited by bandits hire a veteran samurai for protection, who gathers six other samurai to join him.The extended version is about as good as cinema gets. Akira Kurosawa at his very finest.
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.The ultimate number one movie in the world for every reason... but for me, is #2 because of what Seven Samurai means to me.
- DirectorRichard CurtisStarsHugh GrantMartine McCutcheonLiam NeesonFollows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.For me, the the ultimate romcom that anyone in any walk of life, in any time of life can relate too.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsTom HanksRobin WrightGary SiniseThe history of the United States from the 1950s to the '70s unfolds from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, who yearns to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart.Brilliant... nothing more needs to be said.

- DirectorPeter HedgesStarsSteve CarellJuliette BinocheDane CookA widower finds out the woman he fell in love with is his brother's girlfriend.Hit the spot when I won tickets to see it with my 13 yr old son... the holistic father/son time, and how the movie plot was relatable to me at the time has stuck with me as a favourite ever since.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.Director's Cut. The nastiest movie monster that gave me nightmares growing up. Brilliant movie with an excellent cast in a time where characters and actors did their job without ideology being front and centre - Ripley - the ultimate female bad ass leading lady. Must have watched this movie 100s of times.
- DirectorHarold RamisStarsBill MurrayAndie MacDowellChris ElliottA narcissistic, self-centered weatherman finds himself in a time loop on Groundhog Day.My all time favourite comedy. Bill Murray is perfect. The journey from narcissism to altruism is perfect.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsBruce WillisMilla JovovichGary OldmanIn the colorful future, a cab driver unwittingly becomes the central figure in the search for a legendary cosmic weapon to keep Evil and Mr. Zorg at bay.Luc Besson magic...
