3. Torso (1973)
Last 20 minutes with Suzy Kendall and the killer in the chatéau is one of the most unforgettable moments in horror cinema.

5. Hollow Man (2000)
Director's Cut. Nice charachter-study + very intense lead role from Kevin Bacon. CGI takes over at the end.

7. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
The scene where Josey Wales gives his word of life and his word of death to great indian chief -is without the doubt one of the strongest moments in ANY western movie. The movie is a metaphoar for Vietnam war.

8. The Day of the Jackal (1973)
Exciting movie because i didn't know the ending (yeah, I had a hole in my history knowledge). Good movie from the beloved 70's.

9. The Prowler (1981)
Awful movie but Tom Savini's gore effects are great! The main characters are annoying and unlikable but the murder-scenes are so good that this is a guilty pleasure.

Philip Kaufman is brilliant director but Quills dissapoints a little bit. It's well acted but dull at points.

19. The Dead Pool (1988)
Loved when I was a kid but now this is a lame murder-mystery. Director has no idea how to built excitment or scary scenes. I'd recommend Clint's Tightrope instead.

21. Runaway Train (1985)
Poetic action movie goes beyond the "action" into bigger-than-life wisdom. Jon Voight does the infamous "tour-de-force" here.

24. Lost Highway (1997)
Surreal masterpiece from the master himself, David Lynch. This neo-noir movie seems to be about human mind - about spiritual brakedown. It's good to see Richie Pryor in a Lynch movie. Also look for a Guy Siner cameo, it's so random that Siner is in a Lynch picture.

25. Troy (2004)
After first 10 minutes I thought this was garbage, but movie gets better after time passes. But after watching this over 3 hours, i was mad at myself for wasting one night with this mediocore epic.

28. Murder at the Gallop (1963)
The formula from the past Marple-films repeats but i'm still engagent to the charachters, humor and the overall tone. Light entertainment after hard's day work

29. Murder Ahoy (1964)
Last in the Rutherford's murder-serie. Funny and light, no excitment what so ever. This was the only film in the series, when I didn't know the killer before the ending.

I Can't believe that someones rates Commando over this? - This is almost the same film! Only difference is that this movie has a "real" story and the ending is superb.

Great movie for children. Sentimental and predictable, but also smart movie with full of metaphoars. Think Free Willy with heartfelt charachter development and without stupid disney-like fuzz.

Great french thriller! If you take the unnecessary kung fu -scene off and add some mystery behind the University world, this would be classic. I rate this movie over than it deserves, but this is movie is very entertaining.

47. Code of Silence (1985)
Roger Ebert thinks that this is perfect action movie and he's right: this is good, damn good picture. My only negative thought is that the action isn't as bad ass that I wanted it to be. The ending with the prowler-tank is good thought.

48. Cherry 2000 (1987)
Weird sci-fi movie with lavish 80's glitter and odd story: some dude's robot wifey brokes down and the main charachter goes into the danger zone with a female tracker to find another sex toy for him. This is a strange mix of action and comedy. This needs another watch and quick.

Nothing new under the sun here. Very formulatic movie but fun as hell. Bikers, drugs, women + The Doobie Brothers playing hard-hittin' "Dangerous" -song! Brian Bosworth reminds me of John Cena.
