<p>Back to the Future is genuinely a timeless classic. Brilliant movie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Part of my enjoyment in watching some of these older movies is that they bring back some great childhood memories.</p>

<p>TR Jnr loves them too, he is having a diet of modern day films mixed with the classics of, well, all time - Back to the Future, all the Indie's except the l ast one, Star Wars, Princess Bride, Goonies and so on. Although he is now asking about the slightly more grown up Terminator, Mad Max, Predator, Alien...</p> -
<p><span>Princess Bride is one of my all time favourite movies. Must have watched it 100 times as a kid!</span></p>

<p>Haha, them, Porky's, Screwballs, Animal House and other of thier ilk were cool!</p>

<p>bush :mocking:</p> -
<p>Interestingly, the director of Revenge of the Nerds started his career with an incredibly dark film, starring Hal Holbrook and Louise Fletcher, in which "A man hires hires five hookers to fulfil a final fantasy before killing himself and his family."</p>

<p>Basically this flopped because it wasn't animated - and it's probably about 30 minutes too long.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought it was decent.</p>

<p>Length of film was an issue at nearly 2 hours. Some dead spots that could have easily been left out.</p> -

Didn't really like prince of thieves that much , is the postman any good? The book was great , quite an original concept in a few ways. -
<p>Totally agree about No Way Out, that is an excellent espionage thriller. Love the way Roger Donaldson managed to shove in some NZ stuff too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is one of my faves, although probably more to do with Alan Rickman's brilliant Sheriff. And Sean Connery's Scottish, greybeard version of Richard the Lionheart (young English king who only spoke French and Latin) was usual high standard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I always think more highly of men who admit to enjoying a well written, well acted romcom. Kinda weird how they get shit, but women don't really if they say they like crime/horror/action??</p> -

Tom Cruise was pretty funny. Also Catherine Zeta Jones dressed up in a leather at the end .<br><br>
I actually sat through love actually , the guy from walking deads part was pretty creepy especially considering it was his best friends mrs, Alan RIckmans bit was sad not funny and the bit with Hugh Grant was shit for two reasons- it had Huhh Grant in it and had a sanctimonious anti American tirade . -

<p>I wouldn't gave thought forgetting sarah Marshall and knocked up would be called rom coms but they were pretty funny.</p>

<p>Love and relationships are the key theme to both. One got dumped, can't get over her, meets new girl who just might be Ms Right. Other is building a relationship after a one night stand goes awry and learning that opposites can make it work. Plus both have a happy ending/happy for now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry mate, romcoms.</p> -

<p>I was going to suggest Say Anything and 500 Days of Summer but there's not too much com in them I guess - maybe Say Anything more than 500.</p> -
