For me it's Children of Men. Phenomenal film, I've never understood how that film failed to find an audience when it was first released.

"For the few of us that survive to old age, the proud loneliness of the Long Walk. A walk that every Judge must take outside these city walls into the unknown of the Cursed Earth. And there spend your last remaining days taking law to the lawless..."

Just back from the 40th anniversary screening of Top Gun. Never got the chance to see it at the cinema in ’86, so it was an amazing experience finally seeing it on the big screen for the first time. The remaster was stunning to be honest - the picture looked brand new and the sound was absolutely incredible.

I liked the sequel a lot, but for me the original has more heart. I know it’s a product of its time, and yeah, it’s dated in places. But there are so many memorable characters, quotes, great music, and of course… montages (everybody loves a montage).

Cried like a baby again for Goose, and it was emotional seeing Kilmer on the big screen again.

Anyone else celebrating its 40th?

This film has disturbed me ever since I first saw it on release. Decades later and I still can’t watch that alien abduction sequence in full. Communion and Signs were unsettling too, but Fire in the Sky was on another level. Anyone else bothered by this scene?

Love this film — it remains one of my favourite martial arts movies since seeing it as a kid. I’ve always thought of it as a more grown‑up version of The Karate Kid. It’s very low‑budget, but the fight sequences and choreography are great, and the ending is very emotional.

The cast is pretty solid too, with Eric Roberts (who seems to be crying half the time!), Chris Penn, and the great James Earl Jones.

The sequel goes in a completely different direction, switching to a Bloodsport‑style underground tournament, but it’s a lot of fun with some awesome fight scenes from Philip Rhee. Ralph Moeller (Gladiator) and Sonny Landham (Billy from Predator) show up, so it’s worth watching for that alone.

Anyone else a fan of these films?

Always felt this one doesn’t get the credit it deserves. The premise is interesting but pretty disturbing, with a few scenes that are genuinely unsettling to watch. Ewan and Scarlett have great chemistry, and the film moves at a really strong pace. It looks incredible, the car chase is fantastic fun, and the soundtrack hits hard too.

Anyone else a fan of this film?

Ben Stiller and Jack Black are hilarious, but Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise absolutely steal the film.

"Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. You're gonna lose."

Not seen it since, so will be watching it again tonight. I remember there was massive anticipation for this film, with the trailer showing off some amazing effects for the time and with the film being directed by Jan De Bont, who had just done Speed. Never seen the sequel/remake though...

RIP Bill Paxton

Just rewatched 1990’s TMNT as my daughter had never seen it before and I forgot just how good this film is. It’s dark and gritty but still a lot of fun. For me, it’s easily the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, and maybe even one of the best comic book films made. Anyone else agree?

I remember my dad letting me stay up late to watch Convoy with him on TV. That was the first film I remember seeing with him.
