Prince of Darkness (1987) In my opinion John Carpenter's best film post The Thing. A barmy script involving physics students, a canister of swirling green liquid, mind controlled homeless vagrants and the return of Satan! It's a typically t…

The Empire Strikes Back One of the greatest fantasy films ever made in my opinion. The best Star Wars film by a mile. A film that built on the first film but being a completely different kettle of fish. The imagination on show here is just bre…

Jackie Brown Not a Tarantino film i have watched multiple times, but this just gets better and better everytime i see it. Not the usual Tarantino, this is un-flashy and most of the violence occurs off screen. Instead we get an engaging line…

Goodfellas One of my all time favourites. Even if I watch the first few minutes I then have to watch the whole darn thing. Incredibly directed by Scorcese, this is a film that moves fast and with Liotta's skilled narration it has a real energy…

Never Say Never Again Really enjoy this every time I see it. Connery is relaxed and cool. Better in this than his last two Bond films. Barbara Carrera is just amazing as Fatima Blush. Sexy, insane and deadly. Everything I look for in a female …

In NSNA when Fatima Blush meets Bond after skiing into the bar, behind them an idiotic windsurfer falls off his board.... Only just noticed after seeing the film multiple times, but to be fair Fatima's body is quite distracting.....
