Something with a bit of everything, maybe not so human
The Arrival
2001
Alien/Aliens
Some of the older Vampire/Hammer films
That David Niven/WW2 film where time stood still
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click...hp?critic=all&sortby=default&page=2&rid=68077
Really anything with a cast that pulls it off
Trantino is hyper overated - everything Ive seen from him is crap

Coo, we got a Jim Cameron fan here! 
I like to see SFX pushed to their extreme, so Sci-Fi and horror are my favourite types of film. Also I like virtually anything starring Arnie, Sly, Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks and Robin Williams (since he stopped titting about - I DON'T like comedy at all!)
Also virtually all modern War films - I love the sound effects of aircraft, tanks and ammo in 5.1 surround. It makes your skin tingle!
Both Harry Potter movies deserve a special mention. I have a soft spot for kiRAB movies, and these are way superior to the average kidflick.

I like movies with a story to follow....some have too much action for the sake of it. I was watching Vertical Limit last night and it really got on my nerves....i missed the last five minutes, i went in the kitchen for a drink,thats how impressed i was..i don't know what happened and i don't really care, too much of people falling off edges.
I can't think of my favourites off-hand...cor!..i'm hard to please aren't i??

Dear Bounder,
Totally agree about The Haunting (1963) much better than the 1999 with it's special effects taking over from genuine suspence.
The Innocents (1961) based on Henry James "The Turn of the Screw" is also excellent.
Oan

Hi! Ian In my days as a projy I have shown The Haunting (1963) but never understood it until I saw it in whole without interuptions one night and it made me jump.
My favourite sort of stuff would have to be British comedies from the last twenty five years - any of the Bill Forsyth films (especially Gregory's Girl), or similar stuff like Restless Natives, The Snapper or The Commitments. And more recently About A Boy.
I'm also a sucker for old black & white flicks starring any of the greats from the golden age of Hollywood - James Stewart, Cary Grant, Audrey - or Katherine - Hepburn, Jimmy Cagney, Bogart, Bacall, Spencer Tracy. I love most old Hitchcocks too, even the early ones with the plummy-voiced 1930's British ac-tors!
