Time to almost make a move, but keeping it short, what movies are your favorites but by the same token you feel kind of embarrassed of admitting it, watching them at home with the curtains drawn, that sort of thing.
I'll begin.
1. Commando (1985). Schwarzenegger in perhaps his greatest role other than the first terminator, goes on the rampage after his daughter is abducted and throws pipes into Freddie Mercury look-a-likes.
'I eat green berets for breakfast', total nonsense, but I've always loved it.
2. The Beach (2000) don't know why, but I think this is a great film, Di Caprio is great here, after the nonsense of Titanic, meets some french tourists in Thailand and a super crazed Robert Carlyle, paradise soon turns into a bloody mess.
3. Ferris Buellers Day Off (1986) Broderick was still fresh from WarGames, and pulled off another masterpiece, it looks dated now, Chicago no longer has the tallest building in the world, and I hated that twist and shout crap, totally spoilt it for me with that, but if you can overlook that, worth a watch if only once.
4. Midnight Express (1978) many have castigated it for various reasons, it wasn't filmed where it should of been, the lead actor died of Aids some years later, half of it is in Maltese, can't understand what is being said, but for sheer power and emotion it stands unparalleled.
5. Predator (1987) him again, this time having a platoon in the Central American jungles being picked off one by one by some out of this earth type thing, who ends up being killed, never mind, if you've seen it, you know what happens.
do feel free to add your own.
