The fridge scene in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull surely has to be up there?

Backrooms seriously impressed me. Rewatched it 3 times now and it gets better every time. I wasn't aware of its history going in (other than it was some viral online thing) but loved the atmosphere and felt it was really well directed.

"You are not you, you're me."

Dreading this...but it has to be done. I watched Clockwork Orange as a teenager and it really disturbed me. Can't describe why exactly, but it affected me deeply. So much so that, despite loving Kubrick’s other works like 2001, The Shining and Eye's Wide Shut and rewatching them numerous times over the years, it's taken me over 3 decades to pluck up the courage and give 🕙🍊 a rewatch. I remember feeling deeply unsettled and uncomfortable throught the film, and the ending haunted me for some time afterwards. I've mentally blocked the film from my mind, so this will almost be like a first watch (no pun intended). Wondering if anyone else was similarly affected by this film but managed to overcome that, and enjoy the film as a peice of art?

“I had an accident.” — Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), Jaws (1975)

Love the original film, really hope they get this thing dialled in...

Still blows my mind she was in ET

Peter Cullen (1941–2026), the legendary voice of Optimus Prime, Eeyore, Monterey Jack, KARR, Predator and many more, has sadly passed away at 85.

One of the most iconic voices in animation and sci‑fi.

Rest in peace.

Ridley Scott says he wants to finish the Prometheus / Alien: Covenant storyline. With David heading toward a “brave new world” and the prequels inching closer to the original Alien, it raises big questions about where this final chapter could go. More Engineers? More AI horror? A direct bridge to LV‑426? What direction do you think Scott will take?

For me, this was the moment I realised The Terminator franchise was... malfunctioning.

Robocop 3's jet pack scene was another, but there are so many...

Post your favourite movie gif below...

(Gifs only, obviously)

There are so many, but one of my favourites is the Joker’s entrance in The Dark Knight. It’s not a full reveal since he’s mostly behind a mask, but we catch a glimpse of the scars — and it’s the first time we hear that unsettling, sinister voice: “No, no, no. I kill the bus driver…”.

What are some of your favourite character entrances/reveals?

“Let’s rock!” — Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein), Aliens (1986)

“Hello?… Hello?” — Jim (Cillian Murphy), 28 Days Later

What other horror films rival this opening?

Mine was Alien: Resurrection — I walked out when the newborn hatched, I knew that was the end of the franchise for me. Edit: Appreciate this is a controversial opinion — but that’s the whole point of discussion, isn’t it? Different takes are healthy. It’s just a shame how often divisive opinions get downvoted before the conversation starts.

“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?” — Detective John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Kindergarten Cop (1990)

I despised Alien 3 for many years, only to revisit it with the Assembly Cut and now absolutely adore the film. It’s still not perfect, but the new cut is superior and fixes many of the theatrical version’s problems. There are plenty of others that come to mind too — Blade Runner being another prime example...

“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain” — Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), The Dark Knight (2008)

I'll go first… best Terminator 2, worst Terminator: Genisys.
