    My favourite of all time is....

    ...Predator! Great, great sci-fi actioner! The creature concept is second to none imo. It's tense, atmospheric...just love it.

    Also love The Thing, BTTF, Temple of Doom, T2, The 'Burbs...

    ...then the likes of Old School, Zoolander and Anchorman a bit further down.

    When I was a kid it was either Ghostbusters or Robocop and I still love these films.

    However more recently its also been 2001 a space odyssey, fight club or american psycho. It really changes depending on my mood but those are the films I enjoy most.

    Seven Samurai.



    Which brings me to something that if it goes ahead will most likely have me going postal.


    There is talks of a remake/revamp and it seems George Clooney has been approached about being in it.
