Contrary to PC Wells post...

I thought A Clockwork Orange I thought it was a very good movie for many reasons. It's a Love it or hate it movie.

Plenty of others but I can't think of them right now...

I dont think that anybody could say that they LIKE a clockwork orange.Its a very compelling movie.

2010: The Year We Make Contact was infinitely more entertaining than 2001. That's in my own humble and honest opinion, you understand. Feel free to disagree if you like. There's no shame in being wrong.

"Like" is the wrong word to describe that movie, however it was better than I was led to believe it was.

Equilibrium - Completely overshadowed by films like The Matrix, but this was a great amalgamation of Huxley/Orwell/Bradbury ideas. The Gun Kata concept was also cool.

Resurrection - Some claim this to be a rip-off of Se7en, but I'm not among them. The acting isn't the greatest (It's Christopher Lambert, folks, don't expect much), but there are some cool concepts in here.

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind - Sam Rockwell was fantastic in this role (as well as pretty much anything else he's in).

Galaxy Quest - Awesome satire of Star Trek, it's fans, as well as the sci-fi genre itself.

Suicide Kings - Really good ensemble cast. Good story, and quite a few laughs.

Someone else mentioned Frailty - and I couldn't agree more. Not only was it creepy and expertly shot - who knew Matthew McConaughey could really act??

So many more movies out there. I'll have to take a look through my collection for more.

Suicide Kings was astonishing.

I also loved Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Absolutly agree here. George Clooney's directorial debut has so much going for it.

And here again, the extras on the dvd are facinating, particually where you discover how some of the transmitions between scenes were shot in one, with almost magical precision back stage.

Im thinking about the transformation between the inside of his flat, to the meeting room.

Christian Bale is awesome, although I hear the new Terminator is rubbish, which saddens me.

Swing Kids is a great film which not many people I speak to have seen.

Dale - I like A Clockwork Orange now but I loathed it when I first watched it. I did so with the "Wow this film was banned because it is so awesome" attitude and so was understandably disappointed. I did however love the character of Alex.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinging in the rain!

Candy Man this was the first horror film that actually scared me and made me jump. It's never talked about though.

Not at all what I expected from the movie.
