    Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009). Pretty enjoyable film; dry comedy is my favorite type of humor, so that helped me enjoy it a lot.

    4. Nightmare Before Christmas
    5. Edward Scissorhands
    6. Corpse Bride

    What happened to Ed Wood? - brilliant film. For me one of his best, certainly way better than C&TCF.

    I ordered SW: The Force awakens for next Monday (Release date in the UK), though noticed the digital copy was available on Instant Amazon...OK I am going to have two copies, though was compelled to watch it. Wow that was emotional and intense, looks amazing in HD and really enjoyed the film a great deal more this time. From begining to end I was transfixed, the pacing is that quick though you barely have a chance to take a breather.
    I am convinced Rey has had some kind of mind wipe/amnesia.
    While I love Luke's silent presence at the end, how insane would it have been if he said something like
    "So...you've come back." to Rey

    or "Hello daughter…"

    Just been to watch Batman vs Superman. I've gotta say that I really enjoyed it. I know that there are reviews etc and other opinions that people don't like it but, I went in there with an open mind, and really found myself enjoying it. Affleck was great, as was Gadot and, for all his naysayers, I thought Cavill was decent too. Plus, enjoyed Eisenbergs take on Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons is always watchable. Also, while I like Amy Adams, sometimes I don't think she has the feistiness that Lois Lane should have. Margot Kidder had that down to a tee but Adams lacks slightly in my opinion. However, that didn't stop my enjoyment of the movie.

    On another point I enjoyed the score, Wonder Woman's them in particular stood out.

    I do love that no matter how much people end up shocked by BvS and loving it - or shocked and hating it - the general consensus is that Affleck totally delivers as Batman. I'm pretty excited for his solo movie, whenever that happens.

    Batfleck is a Godsend.
    Now I pray for Matt Damon being cast as Nightwing for the Batfleck movie [-O<

    I prefer Batman without those usual sidekicks.

    Nightwing is not a sidekick, but I get your point.
    I can do with a solo Bat film without sidekicks.

    Sicario. Brilliant thriller with some nerve-shredding sequences and a great ending.

    Great cast with Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and our old mate from LTK, Benicio Del Toro who steals the entire film in a riveting performance.

    Best film I've seen in ages.

    If it's not 'Django,' the only one that immediately comes to mind would be 'The War Wagon' with John Wayne.

    It's not that one either. I watched it about 6-7 years ago, and can't remember much.
    I feel like it was more modern perhaps around 80's-2000's. Pretty sure it didn't star John Wayne.

    Could be The Quick and the Dead Gene Hackman was the villain. Sharon Stone(!) the gunfighter...or even Silverado...?

    Neither of those.
    I have way to little information, quess i will have to give up.
    Perhaps i can ask those i watched it with, but im not sure they remember either.
    Anyways thanks to everybody, who tried to help.

    I did a Google search and came across 'Jonah Hex,' too. Saw a snippet of the gatling gun scene with him on the horse, looked awful.

    Yea, that was what i saw aswell, and i was like: ehm... nop, not that one

    Anyways i think i might have found it. Im not quite sure, but the first scene in this trailer seems familiar.

    Edit: The irony in it being called. The gatlin gun...

    I was even going to guess 'The Gatling Gun,' simply because of the title, but I hadn't heard of it and the synopsis I found for it wasn't very helpful.

    Maybe you can find it here, although there are some movies missing (I remember seeing one american western set during the Civil War where a duo of confederate spies had stolen one of these and were pursued by a northern counter-spy. One of their contacts decided to steal it and sell it to the local indian tribe on the warpath, forcing the three agents to join forces. Can't remember the name of the movie, though).

    Found it : "Siege at Red River", featuring Van Johnson and Joanne Dru.

    Earthquake

    After The Towering Inferno it was time for Earthquake.

    Sadly seeing it after Towering Inferno wasn't that good an idea. While I still love Earthquake I can see its many flaws and some things start to bother me quite a bit.
    Ava Gardner is a mere 7 years younger than Lorne Greene. That alone wouldn't be a problem if she played his lover, but she is his daughter...
    Some of the special effects just don't hold up against The Towering Inferno's astonishing effects.

    But what I still love is the quite dark undertone the movie has. Victoria Principal almost getting abused by the crazy army guy.
    And of course the dire ending with the town laying in ashes. That image, the last shot of the movie has always stayed with me, it's quite harrowing.
    I like the fact everything is not just sunshine and roses at the end. After an earthquake of that magnitude the future does look bleak.
    Probably the best ending ever to a disaster movie!

    Based on Jack Finney's The Body Snatchers:

    Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
    Don Siegel (1956)

    Classic science fiction film, this. Keeps improving upon multiple viewings. Paranoia reigns supreme. Excellent thriller that hasn't lost any of its power.

    Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
    Phillip Kaufman (1978)

    Has all the good stuff of the Siegel original plus the benefit of the 70s aesthetic and a truly remarkable final shot of Donald Sutherland. My favourite film in this series.

    Body Snatchers
    Abel Ferrara (1993)

    This one hardly belongs in the series. More like a cheap Brian Yuzna Lovecraft adaptation. But taking it for what it is and admiring its guts to go to different places with the source material, I'd say this isn't a bad film despite the lack of respect it gets in the shadows of the Siegel and Kaufman film.

    The Invasion
    Oliver Hirschbiegel, James McTeigue (2007)

    A most redundant and in that sense useless remake of the Siegel / Kaufman films. It's not as such a bad or incompetently made film; it merely fails to serve any purpose at all. We have two perfectly good adaptations of the Finney book so why this one? Doesn't make any sense.
