1. Chasing Amy (1997)
Kevin Smith at the height of his powers. When Silent Bob speaks you will be moved.

People who added this item 3350  Average listal rating (2313 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.7 
2. Signs (2002)
Life-affirming and inspirational. With a healthy dose of genuine scares and a script so sharp you could cut your finger on it.

3. Life of Brian (1979)
A succession of 10/10 skits strung together (very loosely) on a biting satire on Christianity. What's not to love?

4. Escape from New York (1981)
Dark, depressing and brutal. Inspired casting. Anti-heroes don't come more damaged than Snake Plissken. Which is a good thing.

5. Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
Sharp, witty and an awesome soundtrack. If you have not yet seen Bowie and Queen soundtracking a cute baby doing it's thing then google it NOW.

6. An American Werewolf in London (1981)
Genuinely scary at times but the real joy is the uber-ironic tone and the collection of moon-related tunes perfectly blended into the action.

7. Monsters (2010)
A total surprise. Tight and taught with an unnerving emotional resonance. As befits and independant movie shot (astonishingly) on a shoe-string, it's not afraid to duck the Hollywood schmalz ending. Unforgettable.

People who added this item 202  Average listal rating (120 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.6 
8. The Way of the Gun (2000)
Two outrageously unappealing people, the most inventive use of profanity ever and some truly original set pieces. It's what every action movie should aspire to be.
Chris Lennox's rating:

People who added this item 27  Average listal rating (11 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating
9. The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)
Superior sci-fi based on atmosphere and sparkling interplay between the lead characters. Best script the genre has ever produced. Fact. Hasn't aged a day.
Chris Lennox's rating:

People who added this item 1448  Average listal rating (848 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.7 
10. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)
Shane Black writes very funny action scripts for huge amounts of money. When it's his own baby though he takes it to a whole new level. Funny and supremely cool.
