In the comments field, list five films. Don't tell me if you like them or not - just put the film title down. Not only will I tell you what I think of the films, but I'll attempt to guess what you think of them."

Grosse Point Blank - I enjoyed it, but can't remember it. must watch it again.
Life is Beautiful - Not seen it
Mallrats - Not seen it
The Great Escape - Brilliant sunday afternoon film.
Chain Reaction - Dodgy physics makes for dodgy plot hooks. And I always find Keanu Reeves a little wooden. Morgan Freeman saves it a little, but not enough for me to want to pay money to see it again.

American psycho - not seen it
28 days later - loved it, one of the better horror movies of the last few years.
From hell - not seen it
MR & MRS smith - was predicatable and over-directed. Niether Pitt or Jolie make me hot, so i'll only watch it if theres not much else on.
Blade runner - One of my fetishes. I love the whole thing and every part of the thing.

Roman Holiday - not seen it
Kill Bill - great if i'm in the mood, just another kill-crazy-ramage if i'm not.
Breakfast Clib - not seen it, but brat-pack dramas are not generally my thing...
El Mariachi - Whee! Top film, way better than Desperado.
Shrek - I confess, I have a weak spot for animated kid movies, good ones at least. Shrek is wicked. Any film pitched at kids that can get me to laugh out loud in a cinema deserves kudos.

Alien Versus Predator - Turkey. I'm a fan of both Pred and Alien, and this is just a mess. Totally breaks the world-line and lore in too many places for me to actually sit through.

Batman The Movie (1966) - Not seen it

Batman (1989) - Still the best batman. Perfect supporting cast, nothing too silly in his utility belt. Top notch.

Batman Begins - Little disappoointed, tbh. Not as good as Batman '89 and the bad guy just seems to be a corrupted Qui Gon Jin. Plus all the fights, ALL the fights, were shot in that shitty 'gritty' style, all camera wobble and dodgy zooms. I wanna be able to see my action in an action film.

City of Lost Children - not seen it. IMDb has a couple of films by that name, one i'd not watch (Circus strongman takes orphan on a trek to find her brother) and one I would (A scientist kidnaps children to steal their dreams, hoping that they slow his aging process). Which did you mean?

The one with the scientist. Same chap who did Delicatessen. Odd movie, but a favourite of mine.

The 1966 Batman is the camp TV movie one with the 'shark repellant spray'.
