    The best film in that genre would have to be BATMAN: RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS.
    Colour me blown away by how good that was. *POW!*

    Still have to get around to seeing that, since I've seen every other Batman-centered film.

    Great references you will love it, highly recommended

    To naysayers watching BvS in 4K is amazing

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Worst film of 2016.

    Second worst, worst was BullvShit.

    Where does your amateur sex tape rank in this? I thought the production value was super pedestrian, and the lighting atrocious. I won't even comment on the girl featured in it, who I now refer to as "Cross-Eyed Susan."

    Was "Lazy-Eyed Susan" just too easy, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, or did you miss a trick there? ;)

    If you saw the tape you'd know I'm right on the money with my descriptor. This woman was so cross-eyed it looked like she was searching for gold at the bridge of her nose.

    I have not watched the tape yet. I'll look out for it the next time I'm on an international flight. That's when I watch overly long films I kind of want to see but don't really want to see...you know like The Hobbit films and whatnot.

    Watching the remake of Karate Kid as some background stimuli while I finish up some writing. Jackie Chan is seriously amazing in this, and hasn't lost one step. I just watched him take out at least five ten-year-olds who were way stronger than they should have been, but that's movie magic for you I guess.

    Valkyrie (2008)

    My favorite Tom Cruise film, even above 'Collateral' that I saw a week ago. Very intense WW2 thriller. The suspense is gripping, even if we all know how it ends before the film starts. Powerhouse performance from Tom Cruise as colonel Stauffenberg, a stunning secondary cast (Tom Wilkinson, Terrence Stamp, Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Izzard), lush cinematography and a great soundtrack. Mix all of that a very interesting plot that keeps you invested for the whole film (a Cruise-style 'Mission Impossible' film set in WW2), and you got a real winner.

    Valkyrie is a great film @DaltonCraig007. Thanks for reminding me that I must purchase the blu ray & watch it again (I've only seen it once in the theatre and really enjoyed it). Superb cast and truly outstanding and intense performances.

    My favorite Cruise films are Minority Report, Rain Man, and Eyes Wide Shut. Honorable mentions to Risky Business, Jerry Maguire, and The Last Samurai.

    'The Last Samurai' is in my all-time top 4 , alongside 'Lord of War', 'Munich' and 'Beasts of No Nation'. But those are the films that gives me the complete package in emotions and scope. 'Valkyrie' is my #1 Cruise in the entertainment factor (where I can endlessly rewatch it, more so than more serious dramas like Last Samurai or Munich.

    I remember finding Valkyrie okay. Didn't love it, didn't hate - just okay. But it's been years; last actually saw it in a theater when it released. May revisit it someday. Cruise definitely has an impressive resume; I also want to add A Few Good Men to his films that I particularly enjoy.

    Triple 9; great cast, gritty and unforgiving. First time watch. Not for the faint of heart and quite depressing. Surprisingly well done.

    Marooned (1969) A waste of Gene Hackman, Gregory Peck and Richard Crenna. There was no marooning either. A better title would have been "Trapped." Decent space effects through.

    A Nightmare on Elm Street
    One of the best horror movies I have seen, with an extraordinarily unique premise. Tapping into the fear of sleep and nightmares adds that layer of complexity to the film, blurring the line between what is real and what is not. Fred Krueger is astoundingly well developed. However, it is not a perfect movie due to some of poor acting and a jarring ending that undermines everything that came before it.

    9/10

    The concept is truly something special. A horror classic that'll always be treasured. I agree it has a few imperfections, but it's very good for its genre.

    The horror genre is just as capable of making classic films just like any other genre, the original A Nightmare On Elm Street is one. Though I prefer Freddy's look in New Nightmare.

    Couldn't have said it better, for a genre with a lot of "cheap" movies. A Nightmare on Elm Street stands out as one of the better efforts.

    Police Story (1985)

    Classic Hong-Kong adventure with a very badass Jackie Chan. Lots of chases and fights (the intro scene with the big shootout and bus chase is fantastic), and it ends with Jackie destroying everyone in a mall. Mix with plenty of Jackie Chan-certified humour, and this film is 90 minutes of pure entertainment.

    I paired it with a Moore Bond adventure, but which one? Let's see in the 'Last Bond movie you watched' thread.

    @DaltonCraig007, The Man with the Golden Gun seems most suitable in this case.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I had seen it a week or so ago, so it wasn't that one. ;)

    Rope by Hitchcock - an interesting movie/slash play about a murder committed and then having a party with the body attending in a way. A different Hitchcock but certainly very interesting.

    ARRIVAL

    Forget Interstellar. This is the true heir to Nolan in his prime. Very intelligent and emotional film. The climax is incredibly powerful, and there is a clever double meaning to the title that isn t revealed until the very end. Highly recommended.

    Arrival
    Bored the crap out of me!
    Glad to hear I wasn't the only one! I almost fell asleep in the theatre and was fortunately woken up by someone going to the toilet. I'm sure Villeneuve had something in mind with this, but I completely didn't get it. Surreal.

    The Arrival
    I made the mistake of seeing this yesterday evening, right in the middle of my early shift week. The whole time I kept thinking to myself: 'I consciously know there is a good movie playing in front of me, but I just can't do this shit right now.'
    It's a bit slow moving, and you really need to pay attention.

    I definitely want to see it again, while WIDE awake.

    I don't suppose anyone else who saw it could give me a 'cliffnotes' review? ;)

    Captain Phillips (2013)

    Paul Greengrass proves his skills don't limit themselves to making Bourne films. Here, thanks to a powerhouse performance from Tom Hanks and nail-bitting tension for 2 hours, he gives one of the most suspenseful true-story thrillers of recent years. The 20 minutes sequence with the 2 assaults by the Somalian pirates is worth the price of admission alone. And the guy who plays the main pirate gives the performance of a life time, a truly chilling character.

    L'aîné des Ferchaux (1963)

    A lesser Melville film, but still a thumbs up in my book.

    48 Hrs (1982)

    Disappointing film, and Nolte's "tough guy" performance just didn't work for me.

    The BFG (2016). Not Spielberg's best, nor 5/5 material, but a decent, good-natured film.

    Gangs of New York (2002). Mixed feelings on this Scorsese film. Daniel Day-Lewis is the biggest highlight, naturally. However, it does feel too long, and it just dragged at points for me. It's not a bad film, but it's on the lower side of my ranking of the Scorsese films I've seen.
