Somebody mentioned Alien, the original was good, Alien 2 was even better, Alien 3 was labouring the point, Alien 4 . . . . why

You're being too kind there. 3 was a total disaster. In my view Newt and Hicks should have survived. It started bad and went downhill from there. Aliens is top of my best films ever list. It strayed from the book a little in some respects, which was a shame but apart from a logic flaw in the script and an oops in the loading bay scene, a great film

How Sleep The Brave

Is a fantastic film about the Vietnamese war. No big name stars but showed the reality of the war.

Incidentally I have tried to buy the film on CD but it’s not available anywhere. It was renamed Combat Zone but that is only available in German

One of my favourites of all time is Birds of Prey, starring David Janssen, and still rated as the best helicopter chase sequence.

I recommend 'Secondhand Lions' starring Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. Some of the comic moments in it are absolutely priceless.

I agree, it was pathetic, it didn't come close to doing justice to the real story, just lots of CGI and disjointed clips. I enjoyed the original B&W version, good storey from beginning to end.

Did you watch the directors cut? It's almost an entirely different film. Still bad though.

Alien Vs Predator I thought was a good film. Second one not so much.
