- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenDan O'HerlihyIn a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.Best movie ever! Action, sci-fi, comedy and social satire in a perfect mix... and also some horror and gore! I never get tired of this movie, which is also a wonderful childhood memory! The first sequel is also pretty good, but all following sequels are pure garbage.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.Best movie ever! One of the most creepy films I've ever seen, with loads of fantastic special effects, an incredible cast and great music! A timeless classic. The "Norwegian" prequel is also very good.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.A killer-machine from the future has been sent back in time to kill a human revolutionary leader before he is even born! What's not to like with a plot like this? The cast is excellent, and the score is perfect! The first sequel is also very good, but the rest are crap.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.A perfect movie in all aspects. Combining elements of Sci-fi and Horror, with great music and an excellent cast makes this a must-see. This first sequel is also very good, but the rest are so-so.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.Great setting, an incredible villain alien, a fine action-movie cast, and good effects and music to back it all up. It's the battle of the wits and muscles! The first sequel is also very watchable, although quite different.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerSharon StoneMichael IronsideWhen a man goes in to have virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars implanted in his mind, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real - or is he?Arnold Schwarzenegger starring in a movie directed by Paul Verhoeven, based on a book by Philip K. Dick, how can you go wrong? Answer: You can't. Fantastic sci-fi action-yarn with a lot of funny moments. The 2012-remake is a horrible mess though.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.A movie I live by. Funny, quirky characters, and a plot that's apparently going nowhere, but still one of the most amusing films ever made!
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.The most revolutionary sci-fi movie in several years! Great story, amazing effects, a fantastic soundtrack, and good actors! A perfect movie for all kinds of entertainment!
- DirectorTerry GilliamTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseEric IdleKing Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a surreal, low-budget search for the Holy Grail, encountering many, very silly obstacles.One of - if not THE - funniest movies of all-time! It's satire, absurdism, and humerous situations from start to finish. Loads of memorable quotes from this film. Along with "Life of Brian", one of Monty Python's very best outings.
- DirectorTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseMichael PalinBorn on the original Christmas in the stable next door to Jesus Christ, Brian of Nazareth spends his life being mistaken for a messiah.I once saw this film 5 times in 1 week as a kid, without getting tired of it! One of the funniest comedies of all time!
- DirectorDamian LeeStarsJesse VenturaSven-Ole ThorsenDamian LeeAn alien "policeman" arrives on Earth to apprehend a renegade of his own race who impregnates a woman with a potentially destructive mutant embryo.Coming from Denmark, any movie with a major part for Sven-Ole Thorsen is great, but when it also has a lot of incomprehensible dialogue, and two leading actors that cannot act, along with cheesy saxophone music, it just becomes hilarious!
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg."Come with me if you want to live!" - It's a classic sci-fi actioner, with loads of one-liners and thoughtful scenes, which you can't forget easily.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMatthew ModineR. Lee ErmeyVincent D'OnofrioA pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.Kubrick's most entertaining masterpiece (although some might argue that every one of his films are masterpieces). This one combines the horrors of war with the dehumanizing effects of combat-training, and has both funny and horrorfying moments along the way.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsSteve MartinChevy ChaseMartin ShortThree actors accept an invitation to a Mexican village to perform their onscreen bandit fighter roles, unaware that it is the real thing.My favorite childhood movie, a great comedy with three comedic geniousses in their prime, with loads of memorable scenes and quotes! It doesn't get much funnier than this.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean RenoGary OldmanNatalie Portman12-year-old Mathilda is reluctantly taken in by Léon, a professional assassin, after her family is murdered. An unusual relationship forms as she becomes his protégée and learns the assassin's trade.By far Luc Besson's best movie, with another great performance from Gary Oldman. The atmosphere is great, and every actor in this film, no matter how small the part, plays perfect!
- DirectorMark L. LesterStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerRae Dawn ChongDan HedayaA retired Special Forces colonel tries to save his daughter, who was abducted by his former subordinate.Probably has the most hilarious one-liners of all-time! It's as dumb and violent as they come - and I love it for that! :D
- DirectorSergio LeoneStarsClint EastwoodEli WallachLee Van CleefA bounty hunting scam joins two men in an uneasy alliance against a third in a race to find a fortune in gold buried in a remote cemetery.Perhaps the best western ever made. It has a great setting, top-notch acting and dialogue, and a fantastic score to set it all off. But every Sergio Leone-western could be on this list, actually.
- DirectorAlbert PyunStarsOlivier GrunerTim ThomersonCary-Hiroyuki TagawaAlex, a burned out LA cyborg cop, is forced by commissioner Farnsworth to find his former cyborg partner and lover Jared who's about to deliver sensitive data to cyborg terrorists who wish to wage war against humans. Is he being played?My favorite B-movie sci-fi of all-time. Has lots of familiar action-movie faces, tons of explosions and shoot-outs, and an outlandish plot that boggles your mind. And also an over-the-top Terminator-esque villain, who doesn't take no for an answer. If you don't like this movie, you'll dislike all three sequels even more.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsSteve RailsbackMathilda MayPeter FirthA race of space vampires arrives in London and infects the populace, beginning an apocalyptic descent into chaos.One of the most insane movies I've ever seen. Aliens, zombies, paranormal activity, you name it! This movie has it all! Plus Patrick Stewart!
- DirectorRobert TaiStarsAlexander Rei LoPhilip SoHsueh-Erh HuSewage workers Jack and Charlie get involved in an international Asian gang war when Jack helps the boss of a Shanghai gang against one of his rebellious underlings. This underling then strikes a deal with the Japanese Yakuza in the hopes of toppling his boss and become the leader of Shanghai himself. When the Yakuza assassinate the Shanghai boss, Jack pledges to avenge his new friend's death. As he seeks out those ultimately responsible, he does battle with a variety of ninjas and mercenaries from around the world."Mafia vs. Ninja" is by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I have no doubt the makers of this film meant it to be very serious, which just makes it even more (unintentionally) fun. I can watch this over and over! "The Super Ninja" also is one of those movies, with the same cast.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsWilliam H. MacyFrances McDormandSteve BuscemiMinnesota car salesman Jerry Lundegaard's inept crime falls apart due to his and his henchmen's bungling and the persistent police work of the quite pregnant Marge Gunderson.Absolutely charming and hilarious! Great film.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.Probably the best actionfilm of all-time in most people's view. It also cracks my top-list of course. Willis has never been better!
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.Even though I prefer the first one, I have to throw this on my list too. It's just too damn good! And entertaining.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsHarvey KeitelTim RothMichael MadsenWhen a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.Probably the best "heist-gone-wrong" movie ever. Great dialogue, lots of action, and great character-driven story.
- DirectorRobert HarmonStarsRutger HauerC. Thomas HowellJennifer Jason LeighA young man who escapes the clutches of a murderous hitchhiker is subsequently stalked by the hitcher and framed for his crimes.Rutger Hauer is fantastic as a menacing road-killer who tracks down random strangers and terrorize them just for fun. Could be based on a true story, which makes it even more scary! The sequel and the remake are terribly bad though.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.Good stuff! Has tons of memorable scenes, and the flow of the story is brilliant. Has one of the best soundtracks ever as well.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonMarty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.1.21 GIGA-WATTS!!
- DirectorJason EisenerStarsRutger HauerPasha EbrahimiRobb WellsA homeless vigilante blows away crooked cops, pedophile Santas, and other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shotgun.A fantastic tribute to the 80's trash and gore-films, which I love - maybe just because others hate them so much. It has action, gore, creative dialogue and tongue-in-cheek fun from start to finish!
- DirectorRon UnderwoodStarsKevin BaconFred WardFinn CarterNatives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one.One of the first films to plant a seed of horrific imagination in my mind! A childhood favorite, which spawned many of my own creative movie-ideas later on in life.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsKevin CostnerSean ConneryRobert De NiroDuring Prohibition, Treasury agent Eliot Ness sets out to stop ruthless Chicago gangster Al Capone, and assembles a small, incorruptible team to help him.Best gangster-movie ever. Also a great soundtrack.
- DirectorChuck RussellStarsShawnee SmithKevin DillonDonovan Leitch Jr.A deadly entity from space crash-lands near a small town and begins consuming everyone in its path. Panic ensues as shady government scientists try to contain the horrific creature.Really well-made, effective creepy monster-film, with lots of scares and GORE. All special effects are practical, and NO CGI! :D
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodGene HackmanMorgan FreemanRetired Old West gunslinger William Munny reluctantly takes on one last job, with the help of his old partner Ned Logan and a young man, The "Schofield Kid."Great western. Eastwood is fantastic as always.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungA blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.The future looks grim - but this movie is good!
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsLaurence FishburneSam NeillKathleen QuinlanA rescue crew is tasked with investigating the mysterious reappearance of a spaceship that had been lost for seven years."WE DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING!" - enough said.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsCharlie SheenTom BerengerWillem DafoeChris Taylor, a neophyte recruit in Vietnam, finds himself caught in a battle of wills between two sergeants, one good and the other evil. A shrewd examination of the brutality of war and the duality of man in conflict.If you're into war-movies, this is as good as they come.
- DirectorBen StillerStarsBen StillerOwen WilsonChristine TaylorAt the end of his career, a clueless fashion model is brainwashed to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia.One of the funniest new comedies I've seen - full of memorable scenes and quotable lines!
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsBob HoskinsChristopher LloydJoanna CassidyWhen a cartoon rabbit is accused of murder, he enlists the help of a burnt out private investigator to prove his innocence.Clever crime-comedy, which makes good use of a combination of real actors and animated characters. A childhood favorite.. and that Jessica Rabbit... dayumn!
- DirectorRoger SpottiswoodeStarsSidney PoitierTom BerengerKirstie AlleyAn F.B.I. Agent teams up with a tracker to pursue a murderer after he vanishes into the mountains and infiltrates a hiking group.aka Deadly Pursuit, one of my favorite outback-thrillers, about a manhunt gone too far. Saw this as a kid and loved it - and still do!

- DirectorKuo-Ren WuStarsAlexander Rei LoStuart HughTimothy JohnsonA young boy called Brian witnesses his father being killed in a very violent manner, and then a black cop called Tyler saves him from getting the same fate.

- DirectorPaul Michael GlaserStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerMaria Conchita AlonsoYaphet KottoIn a dystopian America, a falsely convicted policeman gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts, runners, must battle killers for their freedom.Soooo many cheesy one-liners, and tons of memorable scenes and characters. One of the best sci-fi actioners from the 80s!
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsMichael DouglasAndy GarciaKen TakakuraTwo NYC cops arrest a Yakuza member and must escort him when he's extradited to Japan.Exciting and dark thriller about two cops hunting a yakuza-killer in Japan.

- DirectorVincenzo NataliStarsNicole de BoerMaurice Dean WintDavid HewlettA group of strangers awaken to find themselves placed in a giant cube.

Great atmosphere and fantastic acting by all involved.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather.

- DirectorSam RaimiStarsSharon StoneGene HackmanRussell CroweA female gunfighter returns to a frontier town where a dueling tournament is being held, which she enters in an effort to avenge her father's death.A bizarre gunfight-battle western, with tons of great cameo-actors and many interesting shots, so it gets on the list just because of its general coolness.
- DirectorChristopher CainStarsEmilio EstevezKiefer SutherlandLou Diamond PhillipsA group of young gunmen, led by Billy the Kid, become deputies to avenge the murder of the rancher who became their benefactor. But when Billy takes their authority too far, they become the hunted.REGULATORS! Mount up!
