You have got to be kidding.

Biodome was the biggest piece of dog****e I'd every seen. I even asked the video store for a refund it was so crap, didn't get one

Errr Hackers I heard was crap as well, haven't seen it, yet.

Gandalf.

Helv · 19-04-1999 9:53am

Glengary Glenross.....yawn what a boring film. Funny in the Simpsons tho the way they rip off Gill. Hehehe.

Yeah Helv,

Glengarry Glen Ross is an aquired taste, but then again I work in sales, so I have experienced some of the crap that happens in that film. The scene with Alex Baldwin is a classic thou.

"1st Prize you win a Cadallic
2nd Prize you win a set of steak knives
3rd Prize you lose your job"

Hehehe and of course "Coffee's for Closers"

Yeah Usual Suspects is a class film as well, but not in my top ten at the mo

Gandalf.

Draco · 19-04-1999 3:58pm

Hmm...Air Force One? Not exactly what you'd call a brilliant film...

Sorry Baz but Hackers definitly doesn't deserve a place in any top ten..

But Bio Dome...Iron man, Iron man, does everthing and Iron can!

Okay..top ten in no order

Chasing Amy
Fallen
Usual Suspects
Terminator
Clerks
Excalibur
Leon
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking barrells
Braveheart
Die Hard II

They may not be the best or most thought provoking films, but they're the ones that I enjoy the most.

I wait now for you to tear apart the list.

Well, the above suggestions certainly do seem to cover the majority of the 'usual' style movies. For your delectation, I thought I'd post some alternative viewing - most of which can be obtained from video outlets on submission of at least £50.00 and the correct password *wink* *wink*

1) Rod Hull's Guide to TV Arial installation
2) Grandma Does a Dump III
3) Candy's Little Sister, Sugar
4) The best of Animal Cruelty, 2
5) Armoured cars - Diana's Revenge
6) Eating your feet
7) Botulism, the Forgotten Years
8) Cooking with Pasta
9) Debbie Does Dallas, Texas and Vegas.
10) Too Rude To Mention - Dwarfs and Chairs

I do not advise watching more than 2 of the above in one sitting.

Sorry, couldn't let this slip:

"the harrier. and even thats sad cos if a harrier flew that close to a building it would blow all the glass inwards instantly"

Absolute rubbish. Skysraper windows are specifically designed to withstand air moving at immense velocities - the empire state building is designed to withstand air moving at a true velocity of 150mph.

And the harrier was operating for the most part in VTOL mode - so the thrust was directed downwards, and to the rear of it.

gandalf · 19-04-1999 5:13pm

Jaysus Brit u are one big anorak

Brit · 19-04-1999 8:26pm

Anorak? lol

Nah, I've seen them up close and personal, I have a friend who flies one and I've stood no more than 50 feet away whilst one landed. Oh, and I've flown in one too. And a Seaking, and a Jaguar, and a Tornado, and a Lynx...

You get the point

-- when it comes to fast attack aircraft, especially marine (Fleet Air Arm) varieties, I know a bit

Now, where's my duffel coat? ah...

Kali · 20-04-1999 12:11am

uless your c00l and like rollerblades and apple macs.
Air Force One was sh*te. unbelivably crap effects for such a big budget film.. (seen it in the cinema .. you could nearly see the strings in the model plane)
True Lies??? hahahahaha even worse. Arnold Swarzwhatever in his lamest role ever.. (well apart from that kindergarten cop thing) only good thing? the harrier. and even thats sad cos if a harrier flew that close to a building it would blow all the glass inwards instantly.
