Though there is one small mistake. Here in the US. Death Train is Detonator. :P
The unrated version is pretty steamy...
I might have to scour Amazon for some of these at cheap prices on DVD. Shame they aren't on blu-ray (as far as I know), but even if they were, they're so obscure that they would probably be upscaled and you wouldn't really be able to tell the difference, like the Dragon Dynasty films ('Hard Boiled,' 'The Killer,' 'A Better Tomorrow' trilogy, etc.)
I have it.
Someone's uploaded it on YouTube. It's in 9 parts though.
Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins the first half only and I must say this film is really amazing
EDIT: 'Fair Game'
Simple mid-90's action film. It has a terrible rating, but I've always enjoyed it for the action scenes. Finale is incredibly rushed and horribly edited, but the rest of the film makes up for it. Plus, Cindy Crawford looks fantastic in this.
I enjoyed it when it came out and it made me a Doors fan - or not the movie itself, but it made me quickly buy the six Doors cds... I had never before realized how much great music they had made. :P I haven't seen it for ages, though, but I can't imagine I'd enjoy it now, I'd be too irritated by the way it portrayed Morrison, probably. (I knew practically nothing about him the first time I saw it.). Anyway, to me it was clearly about the myth, not about the man, it didn't seem like a balanced, fair view at all. I agree with you that the real story would be more interesting and complex, and hopefully a good movie of it will be made some day.
I believe at this point I'm enjoying The Hobbit movies as much as LOTR if not a little more. TDOS is a bit better than AUJ, plus Legolas is back!
Robocop (2014)
I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, but I did enjoy it. I like the original but I'm not a die hard fan like many of you, so I think that's why I could enjoy the reboot. Personally I hope they make a sequel and get rid of that damn human hand and keep him grey!
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
I liked it but glad I didn't go to the theater to see it. Chris Pine is a great Jack Ryan but the film it self wasn't as amazing as I was expecting it to be. At times I found my mind wondering away from the film.
4D Man - awesome sci-fi.
Alphaville - brilliant sci-fi.
It's been years since I've watched this movie. I enjoyed it as a young teenager but mostly for the action. As an adult I enjoy the movie as a whole, the action, story, acting, costumes, and sets. I watched the shorter theatrical version instead of the extended cut. When the movie ended I wished I had watched the latter because I found myself wanting more. Not that there wasn't enough but because I didn't want it to end just yet. The movie deserved it's academy award for best picture of 2000 and it 4 other awards.
Ridley Scott ranking
Blade Runner
Gladiator
Robin Hood
Black Hawk Down
Legend
Prometheus
Alien
Matchstick Men
I feel I need to watch Body of Lies, Kingdom of Heaven, Hannibal, and G.I. Jane again to properly place them in that list.
But hey, no offence. ;-) I understand that Alien polarises film fans. I know that some people find it tedious and dull, old and dusty, in general: slow. I myself think the world of it. The Giger artwork, the story and its themes. The slow build-up of tension, the character moments, the sets, the music, ... I think it's a marvellous achievement, a class A film.
That said, I liked Gladiator too back in the day. Watched it once in theatres, then countless times on VHS (remember those? :D). I have it on DVD but it's gaining dust somewhere. I should revisit it sometime soon.
@Thunderfinger, did I miss something? How is Gladiator connected to Bond 24?

Not sure if anyone has heard of it, but it's about a group of people who were best friends in college meeting up over a weekend after one of their other friends committed suicide. Tears are shed, secrets are revealed, laughs are had, and a lot of other things. It's a very fun movie, more dramatic and less comedic than I expected.
'Thief'
This film captures the 80's (how I would expect them to be) so damn well, and Tangerine Dream delivers one kickass soundtrack. I love this film, it's an excellent first entry by the wonderful Michael Mann.
Caan is wonderful in the film, and he's not the only one. The score is heavy on synth... I so love the 80s. :D
EDIT: Re-watched 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and 'World War Z' today. I haven't seen the Indy films in a looong time, so I'm finally cracking open my 'Indiana Jones' blu-ray boxset and watching all three four.
Directed by clooney, former Batman :)
Hard to believe film since it was based on the Chuck Barris memoirs,game show creator.
Weird and wacky like some of the people on this forum. :-)) :-)) :-))
Don't you mean "four three"? ;-)
Aliens
I still haven't figured out, after all these years, which film in the series I like best: Alien or Aliens. But it remains a fact that I'm in fanboy heaven every time I watch Cameron's sequel, and this time was no different.
Oh my Buddha.
I can confidently say this is the first time I've ever sat in a dark room by myself while watching a movie and clapped at the end of the scene. Unbelievable action movie, this is one of the GREATEST ones I've ever seen. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but as the film progressed, I loved where it was going: fantastically-choreographed fight scenes (lasting a few minutes to sometimes almost ten minutes) and quiet dramatic moments to progress the story along. You have to see this movie. Watch 'The Raid' and then watch this. My only complaint was that I had to watch a dubbed version, but I tell you what, I'll be sinking my teeth into the original Indonesian audio as soon as this hits blu-ray. I can't wait to see the deleted scenes/fights as well. I hear there's an almost four minute straight shot fight scene that'll be on the blu-ray. I'm so excited.
EDIT: Watched the 'Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures' set, including 'Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The CGI Animals.'
Good film with plenty of suspense and action 7.5/10.
At any age, Michael Caine always kicks @$$.
