Been trying to get through a backlog of films that I have bought over the last few months.
Total Recall (Arnie version)
Loved this film when I was younger, though some of the effects don’t hold up so well now. Still better than the Colin Farrell remake.
The film tells the story of a construction worker who suddenly finds himself embroiled in espionage on Mars and unable to determine if the experiences are real or the result of memory implants.
Good Morning Vietnam
My favourite Robin Williams movie. He stars as a Radio DJ, who the troops really like, but infuriates his superiors.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
One of the best looking CGI movies of its time and still holds up today.
The Spirits Within follows scientists Aki Ross and Doctor Sid in their efforts to free a post-apocalyptic Earth from a mysterious and deadly alien race known as the Phantoms, which has driven the remnants of humanity into “barrier cities”. Aki and Sid must fight against General Hein, who wishes to use more violent means to end the conflict.
The Italian Job (Michael Caine version)
Comic caper movie about a plan to steal a gold shipment from the streets of Turin by creating a traffic jam.
Mary Poppins
Based on P. L. Travers’s book series Mary Poppins. In turn of the century London, a magical nanny employs music and adventure to help two neglected children become closer to their father.
Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Die Hard With A Vengeance
Die Hard is my favourite Christmas movie of all time. Starring Bruce Willis as John McClane.
Die Hard -John McClane, officer of the NYPD, tries to save his wife Holly Gennaro and several others that were taken hostage by German terrorist Hans Gruber during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.
Die Hard 2 – John McClane attempts to avert disaster as rogue military operatives seize control of Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C.
Die Hard With A Vengeance – John McClane and a Harlem store owner are targeted by German terrorist Simon Gruber in New York City, where he plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building.
In response to DazDaMan’s post.
Love Leon and is a film in my backlog that I have got to watch.
Kevin Smith is one of my favourite directors, especially his early work, then he seemed to lose his way from Jersey Girl onwards, though his TV work on Flash and Supergirl has been good.
