Films you need to see for your own sake!!!
The Matrix [1999]The Matrix [1999]
Buy new: £2.48 / Used from: £0.49
This is probably the best film ever.Kinda the same story as Terminator (only alot more complex), revolutionary effects, mind blowing action.Your life is incomplete without seeing these historic films.
The Matrix Reloaded (2 Disc Edition) [2003]The Matrix Reloaded (2 Disc Edition) [2003]
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £1.20
Its got double the fight moves of the 1st film in just one scene alone.Noticed the increase of Kung Fu and Bullet Time instead of fist fights in other films since The Matrix? Great cliffhanger story.
The Matrix Revolutions [2003]The Matrix Revolutions [2003]
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.35
The final part of The Matrix.You'll never watch another film in the same way again.EVER.There is so much extra to this trilogy like bible references etc I can't fit it on, so go to moviemistakes.com
A Room For Romeo Brass [2000]A Room For Romeo Brass [2000]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.85
I don't know why I like this but i do. It struck me as quite good acting from a competely unknown cast and crew line up. Look out for it, its not essential but still good
Donnie Darko [2002]Donnie Darko [2002]
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £0.30
A cult classic. This rules. Its got style, class, a very confusing storyline that is just so original I could cry.
Freddy Got Fingered [2001]Freddy Got Fingered [2001]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.68
Imagine the sickist,weirdist most immature thing..you have Freddy Got Fingered.It shouldn't work but it does.Offensive yet everyone uses its sayings. Appeals mainly to stoners/skaters.
The Terminator (Two Disc Special Edition) [1985]The Terminator (Two Disc Special Edition) [1985]
Buy new: £3.86 / Used from: £3.75
The first film of the second best trilogy ever.Very dated effects, fashion...everything. Its still a great story and you have to watch it to understand and enjoy.....
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Two Disc Ultimate Edition) [1991]Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Two Disc Ultimate Edition) [1991]
Buy new: £7.34 / Used from: £4.00
....the best sequel ever!Terminator 2.Just like every film tries to copy The Matrix, this is what The Matrix copies. Noticed how its Man verses Machine in both The Terminator and The Matrix?
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Single Disc Edition) [2003]Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Single Disc Edition) [2003]
Buy new: £1.19 / Used from: £0.49
Not stylish as 2nd but still good. Arnie looks a bit too old though.The action is good but too 'polished' compared to 2nd and they tried to copy elements of the previous too much so it got boring.
Signs [DTS] [2002]Signs [DTS] [2002]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.27
Get into this gripping film and be sketched out by your surround sound.Same story as Independence Day only focusing on the emotions of individual people.Dissapointing ending
Austin Powers in Goldmember [2002]Austin Powers in Goldmember [2002]
Buy new: £3.16 / Used from: £0.80
This is the 3rd and probably last of the Austin Powers movies.You need to see this one most because its the film everyone does impressions of, although you need to watch the first two in order.
School Of Rock [2004]School Of Rock [2004]
Buy new: £4.14 / Used from: £0.99
WOW. Fans of real rock, punk and metal should love this.The front cover looks like some cheesy 'little rascals' style film, but its not.Catchy, funny and brilliant. Watch it or really miss out.
Back To The Future Trilogy [1985]Back To The Future Trilogy [1985]
Buy used from: £4.64
Heres great family viewing with an easy to follow yet complex and gripping plot. If you haven't seen them, I suggest you go out and catch up!
Dude, Where's My Car? [2001]Dude, Where's My Car? [2001]
Buy new: £2.38 / Used from: £0.55
Dumb as they Come stoner film. Imagine Dumb and Dumber meets Galaxy Quest. It works trust me.It can't be missed purely for the all time classic saying 'Shibby!'
Gladiator (2000) - Two Disc SetGladiator (2000) - Two Disc Set
Buy new: £22.49 / Used from: £1.40
Ok, its not original but has anyone noticed how more and more films like this are being made trying to be as successful. Coincidence?
Final Destination 1 And 2 [2000]Final Destination 1 And 2 [2000]
Buy new: £19.47 / Used from: £4.97
A gory modern horror with the killer not actually being a person with a mask stalking a hot young girl etc.Some deaths in the 1st movie can look comically like an Eddie Murphy diaster film,still cool.
Jurassic Park [1993]Jurassic Park [1993]
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £1.41
No film comes close to this. Its likely that you've seen it, (probably on the TV at Christmas) but if you're one of the few who haven't...Watch it!!
Phone Booth [2003]Phone Booth [2003]
Buy new: £1.00 / Used from: £0.39
Not the best film ever and maybe not everyones thing but its so gripping its unbeliveable. Not worth buying because once you've seen it, its not as gripping because you know the ending.
Spider-Man [2002]Spider-Man [2002]
Buy new: £2.67 / Used from: £0.75
The best 'comic book film'. The effects are really bad in some places but lush in others. Everyone loves this film.
The Others (2 Disc Collectors Edition) [2001]The Others (2 Disc Collectors Edition) [2001]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.90
This is so much better than the 6th sense. Its alot more scary and has a great twist in the tale, eventhough I worked it out halfway through the film which was annoying.
The Shining [1980]The Shining [1980]
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £3.87
You knew this would be on here somewhere. If you haven't seen it yet, I can't explain to you how great this is. Just watch it and find out. Its a classic.
Poltergeist [1982] (REGION 1) (NTSC)Poltergeist [1982] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Buy used from: £3.60
This classic horror is what every film wants to be.It hasn't dated at all. Its amazing great story, effects...just everything about it is great. Original is the best.
Minority Report [2002] (REGION 1) (NTSC)Minority Report [2002] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Buy used from: £1.55
It hasn't got as much action in it as you'd think but its got a great story and the perception of the future is fairly 'realistic'. It also has one of the jumpiest things I've ever seen in a film.
Don't Look in the Basement [1973]Don't Look in the Basement [1973]
Buy used from: £2.79
This film is quite amazing.Its got a crap title but the twist at the end is so much better than 'it was a dream' or 'he's dead himself'.Old and somehow innocent, but really sketchy if you get into it.
Toy Story/Toy Story 2 [2000] (REGION 1) (NTSC)Toy Story/Toy Story 2 [2000] (REGION 1) (NTSC) by Toy Story
Buy used from: £13.75
Better than Shrek. Better animation, better story, the original CGI movie...the list goes on. Woody and Buzz can beat Shrek and Donkey anyday
