    Beerfest (movie) is awesome for celebrating Octoberfest

    The Butterfly Effect is truly awful, Ashton Kutcher is a brutal actor and a moron...

    The list goes on but movies like The Butterfly Affect are the type that not everyone has seen.

    I envy those people.

    All total rubbish. I quite like watching "The Day After Tomorrow" for all the technical faux pas in it.

    I'm quite partial to anything directed by Spielberg or scored by John Williams. Also the LOTR trilogy, King Kong, Gladiator and other epics not starring Colin Farrell, though he was excellent in The Minority Report.

    Mention of this reminded me of The Hunted, starring Tommy Lee Jones, and The Hunted starring Christopher Lambert. Two great movies.

    Almost anything with Steve McQueen and almost nothing with Sylvester Stallone, barring Cliffhanger and First Blood.

    Most recently, I've enjoyed:
    Inglorious Basterds
    The Hurt Locker
    Kick Ass
    Shutter Island

    What's sometimes good for movie ideas is searching actors you like on IMDB.
    Or you can work your way down this list in case there's anything you missed (some completely overrated shít on that list, but it's an of-all-time list, so you can find gems from way back).

    Why didn't Godzilla 2 ever come out?

    We all remember the eggs hatching towards the end of Godzilla.

    I assume the poster means Toho man in a rubber suit madness, and not that f'ing awful twat-in-the-hat title song Yankee Doodle version.

    Poster: Rubber suit, or twat-in-the-hat?

    I would imagine Godzilla 2 never came out because Godzilla (1) was a really bad movie.

    I don't remember the eggs hatching, I've only ever seen bits of it on TV when there was GAA, football, golf, boxing, Late Late Show on all other channels.

    The Prestige is AMAZING!!! It's my favourite movie of all time! It's so clever and unpredictable, anyone who hasn't seen it is missing out

    I knew when I was writing that list that The Dark Knight would divide opinion (I love it though..)

    I should have mentioned Lebowski and Withnail & I...

    I'd definitely recommend "The Killer Inside Me"... as a film it's not bad, but it's made an absolute "must watch" for the scenes containing Jessica Alba & Kate Hudson having their naked asses spanked good & hard. ;)
